Abstract

Since the recognition of the colloidal state by Graham in 1861, the importance of colloidal systems in both pure and applied science has received increasing recognition. Many industrial processes are colloidal in nature; the chemistry of living matter is essentially colloidal chemistry; analytical chemistry involves the recognition and removal of matter in the colloidal state. As a result of the many applications of this branch of chemistry, the mechanisms underlying typical processes of colloidal systems are of vital significance. Specifically, the destruction of colloidal systems by electrolytes, finding as it does such wide use, is of considerable importance. In the light of present knowledge several gaps exist in the theoretical explanation of electrolytic coagulation; no satisfactory quantitative relation has as yet been demonstrated between the coagulation concentration of an electrolyte and any other property of the electrolyte.
