"Deposition and aggregation of small solid particles are encountered in many natural and industrial environments. Whether it be deposition of particles onto a surface immersed in a liquid suspension or aggregation of individual particles, these processes are of enormous significance . They are vital to the manufacture of ceramics, magnetic tape, purification of water using packed bed filters, selective capture of solids, cells and macromolecular species, and many other applications. This book presents a unified approach to the measurement, modelling and simulation of these processes, bringing together the disciplines of colloid and surface chemistry, hydrodynamics, and experimental and computational methods."--Back cover. |
