Abstract

This review concerns the using of Zeta and streaming potentials in the coagulation process control. Coagulation process is usually explained by charge neutralization mechanism. The negative charge may be quantified by Zeta potential or streaming potential measures. Prior to the advent of streaming current monitors, Zeta meters were the primary instruments for measuring electrokinetic properties as related to coagulant dose. Both instruments measure the potential and indirectly the particle surface charge, but use very different methods. Even if the on-line streaming current monitor can provide coagulation process optimization when properly installed, maintained, and interpreted, jar tests experiments and Zeta meters remain indispensable.
