  • Patent number: 7662268
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for measuring the zeta potential at the cylinder's outer surface. In the measuring cell, the cylinder is held coaxially inside a reference tube and a given solution is forced to flow through the annular flow channel between the cylinder and the reference tube. The streaming potential induced by the flow forced with a hydraulic pressure drop is measured to determine the zeta potential, ?m, of the cylinder's outer surface by using the following Equation, E _ ? ? ? P == - D ? ? ? k ? ( ? m + ? ref 2 ) ? F where D is the permittivity, ?ref is the zeta potential of the reference tube, ? is the viscosity of the solution, k is the electric conductivity of the solution, and F is a correction factor for the electrokinetic model. Moreover, this invention also discloses a system for measuring the zeta potential of the cylinder's outer surface.

  • Publication number: 20090251128
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for measuring the zeta potential of the cylinder's outer surface and the inside surface of the tube. In the measuring cell for measuring the zeta potential of the cylinder's outer surface, the cylinder is placed coaxially inside the reference tube, and the channel existing between the cylinder and the reference tube forms a annular flow channel. Additionally, in the measuring cell for measuring the inside surface of the tube, a reference cylinder is held coaxially inside the tube and a given solution is forced to flow through the annular space between the tube and the reference cylinder.
