The Lyotropic Sequence in the Stability of Hydrophobic Colloids

Abstract
The nature of the counterion, among other parameters, has
a pronounced influence on the flocculation values for hydrophobic
sols. A discussion of the lyotropic sequence, i. e. of the increase of
the flocculation values for a typical, negatively charged silver
iodide sol, in the series Rb+, K•, Na•, and Li+, is given in terms
of the Deryagin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory of colloidal
stability. More recent data on adsorption of alkali metal ions on
the surface of a-hematite indicate a reversal of the lyotropic series.
Interpretation is sought in the predominance of steric factors.
