Abstract

By using a micro-electrophoresis technique, the electrokinetic behavior of cotton and a clay soil was studied in various surfactant, tripolyphosphate, and carboxymethylcellulose solutions. Correlative soil-deposition studies were also made.

Data are presented which show that doublelayer forces of repulsion are not of major importance in preventing the deposition of a clay soil on fabric. However a correlation was demonstrated between soil deposition and adsorption processes which occur at soil-solution and fabric-solution interfaces.
