| Electrical double layer | Mining | Helmholtz layer. Zone that surrounds a particle in aqueous suspension or other electrolyte. Transition zone between the monomolecular zone of shear immediately coupled ionically to the discontinuity lattice at the particle's surface and the normal aqueous phase that exists from 50 to 5,000 Aa and beyond. This zone of change contains a super concentration of ions drawn from the normal population of the liquid phase. See also: zeta potential. (references) | |
