✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we propose a model to analyze the stability of colloidal particles at the air-liquid interface. The proposed model for the colloidal particle interaction considers DLVO interactions and capillary, hydrophobic, and dipolar interactions between the particles. Typical values from the literature were assigned to most parameters included in the model. Numerical computation revealed the most important parameter in determining the total interaction is the density of dipoles at the external surface of the particles. We have found significant differences for the pair potential between hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles. Hydrophobic particles must aggregate in a principal minimum of the interaction potential curve while hydrophilic particles aggregate in a secondary minimum.

Colloid sorption onto air-water interfaces in a variety of natural environments has been previously recognized, but better quantification and understanding is still needed. Affinities of clay colloids for the air-water interface were measured using a bubble-column method and reported as partition co

We study the sorption of colloids on equally charged surfaces. Our focus is on the time scale from hours to weeks, where adsorption is not an irreversible process but interplays with (spontaneous) desorption. Using model calculations, we show how the desorption kinetics is influenced by readsorption
