Zeta Potential Measurement Using Electroosmosis in Porous Media
Main Article Content
Abstract
The zeta potential of a solid-liquid interface in porous media is an important surface characterization quantity for geophysical applications or environmental applications, for example. The zeta potential in porous media is normally measured by some techniques such as streaming potential, streaming current. In this work, we use electroosmosis to measure the zeta potential for consolidated porous samples including natural and artificial rocks saturated with NaCl solutions. The measurements show that the values of the zeta potential deduced from our electroosmosis measurements are always smaller than those of the corresponding samples deduced from the reliable streaming potential measurements in literature, in particular for the low permeability samples. The reason may be that the samples are not fully saturated by liquid (in particular for low permeability samples) or the degradation of electrodes happens. The result suggests that the electroosmosis measurements are not a promising method to determine the zeta potential in porous media.
Keywords: Electroosmosis, streaming potential, zeta potential, porous media.
