3.3. O Opticalptical p property roperty
A colloidal system contains particles that affect a light beam by scattering and absorption .
If the particles are of a size comparable to the wavelength () of light or larger, they scatter or absorb light independently .
The same thing happens if they are separated by distances comparable to or greater than the wavelength () of light .

TTurbidity (urbidity ())
• a measure of the degree to which the water looses it’s transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates
• Measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality
Various parameters influencing the cloudiness of water
•Sediments from erosion •Resuspended sediments from the bottom (frequently stir up by bottom feeders like carp) •Waste discharge •Algal growth •Urban runoff

3.C3.Colloidal olloidal SStability and tability and Its Its Applications Applications
Stabilization serves to prevent
colloids from aggregating.

ParticlesParticles Excluded Volume Repulsion :
any overlap between hard particles. Electrostatic interaction :
an electrical charge attract or repel van der Waals forces :
two dipoles interaction which are either permanent, induced or temporary dipole induces a dipole
Entropic forces :according to the second law of thermodynamics, resuling in effective forces even between hard spheres .
Steric forces : - interparticle forces between polymer covered surfaces
- or in solutions containing non adsorbing polymer, producing an additional repulsive steric stabilization
force or attractive depletion force between them.
Two main mechanisms for colloid stabilization Steric stabilization
-interparticle forces between polymer covere -d surfaces or in solutions containing non adsor
bing polymer
Electrostatic stabilization the mutual repulsion of like electrical charges . Different phases generally have different charge affinities, so that a charge double-layer forms at any interface . Small particle sizes lead to enormous surface areas, and this effect is greatly amplified in colloids .
