Abstract

The aggregate stability of the positively charged γ-Al2O3 (alundum) sol has been investigated using photometry and flow ultramicroscopy over a wide range of KCl concentrations. The data on the sol stability have been compared with the results of the calculations in the framework of the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory. The parameters of the long-range structural forces for γ-Al2O3 particles have been evaluated. The role of the far potential minimum in the sol stability has been discussed.
