The adsorption of polyacrylic acid (PAA) on hydroxyapatite (HAP) from HAP saturated solutions was studied in this work as a function of PAA concentration, temperature, pH and ionic strength. In all experiments, the adsorption was studied under conditions of negatively charged adsorbent and adsorbate, respectively. These conditions ensured that adsorption was not electrostatically favored. The solution composition was found to influence significantly the maximum of the adsorbed amount. In fact, the adsorption of PAA, was found to increase with ionic strength, due to the decrease of double layer thickness of HAP particles. The effect of temperature and ionic strength on the kinetics of adsorption are also reported. Adsorption isotherms obtained at 30oC were found to be Langmuirtype, while at higher temperatures they were of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) type. The absorbed amount of PAA was found to decrease with temperature, while it increased with ionic strength. For pH values lower than 6.5, the adsorption increased while for pH between 6.5 and 9 the adsorbed amount remained almost constant.

We study the primary electroviscous effect in a suspension of spheres when the double layer thickness κ−1 is small compared with the particle radius a. The case of a 1–1 symmetric electrolyte is examined using the methods of Dukhin & coworkers (1974), whilst the asymmetric electrolyte is studied along lines similar to those of O'Brien (1983). Sherwood's (1980) asymptotic results for high surface potentials and high Hartmann numbers are extended and complemented.
