The isoelectric point is a material property for the characterization of acid-base behavior of the powder surface. The IEP of two alumina powders (AKP-30, Grade A) with different particle size characteristics in aqueous suspension has been determined by colloid vibration current (CVI) and particle charge detection (PCD) methods in moderately concentrated suspensions in order to qualify these methods for a future standardization. The solid loading of the suspensions were 1 and 5 vol%. The comparison of the IEP determined by PCD and CVI was in good agreement. However, the solid loading dependence of IEP and a large IEP hysteresis (at 1 vol%) were observed, which do not allow a proper determination of the IEP. The recording of the potential curve and therfore the determination of the IEP with CVI was difficult for the suspension of Grade A powder due to formation of agglomerates at pH values near the pHIEP.
Zeta potential as measured with the electrokinetic sonic amplitude (ESA) method has been compared to streaming potential as measured with the particle charge detection (PCD) method. The measurements have been carried out on identical suspensions of a-Al2O3, SiC and Si3N4 with a solids volume fraction of 1% and 10%. Zeta potential and streaming potential are related by a linear function. The correlation coefficients for this relationship are better than 0.99 for the suspensions with 1% solids loading. For the suspensions with 10% solids loading, correlation coefficients are slightly lower due to the influence of increasing viscosity. Regardless of lower correlation at the higher solids loading, the isoelectric pH is constant within the limits of accuracy of the pH measurements.
