Secondary Minimum – Greater distances between particles but attraction causes flocculation. Particles form weak
attractions but are easily redispersed. Reversible
DLVO theory
Increase ionic strength by adding salt allow
particles to aggregate because of double layer
compression
DLVO consider only CHARGE SCREENING that
reduces the Debye length
Prediction of aggregation between particles and
deposition of particles onto surfaces
DLVO DOES NOT consider ion specific effects,
charge regulation, bridging etc…
There are non-DLVO interaction forces!
