Abstract
The detachment of latex colloids deposited in packed glass-bead column s was observed under conditions where the ionic strength was reduced a nd ion exchange between Na+ and Ca2+ occurred. For identical influent solutions producing colloid release, it was found that deposited collo ids in equilibrium with Ca2+ were released less readily than those in equilibrium with Na+. For influent solutions at the same reduced ionic strength with Ca2+ or Na+, colloid release was lower when Ca2+ ions w ere present. These phenomena cbn be explained by the selectivity of la tex surfaces for Ca2+ over Na+ ions as observed in Na+-Ca2+ exchange e xperiments.
