abstract |
The role of wetting in particulate systems can be of practical importance and has
been considered for many decades, with Huh and Mason providing an early example of
a rigorous theoretical consideration of a single particle buoyant on the surface of
a liquid. The ability of a particle of a density greater than the liquid phase on
which it rests to be buoyant will be significantly influenced by the wetting interaction
that occurs at the interface between the solid and liquid phases. Recent work by Vella
<i>et al.</i> and that of Extrand and Mood has sought to capture the importance of
wetting on the buoyancy of particles.

The effect of wetting on the ability of solid millimetre-sized and smaller particles
to float on a liquid of lower density than the particle material has been considered
theoretically and investigated experimentally. The contribution of capillary force
towards particle buoyancy is assessed for a range of systems, as well as the range
of diameters of particles which could be buoyant for each combination of solid and
liquid. The critical parameters in this evaluation of particle buoyancy were considered
to be (i) solid density, (ii) liquid density, (iii) liquid surface tension, and (iv)
interfacial wetting between solid and liquid phases. |
