Clay Swelling and Colloid Stability

In a rare over-the-shoulder perspective of a leading scientist’s own breakthroughs Clay Swelling and Colloid Stability puts emphasis on two significant paradigm shifts in colloid science that explain particle interactions for charged plates stacks suspensions and pastes as well as spherical colloids. Martin Smalley first discusses the replacement of the DLVO theory with the Coulombic Attraction Theory to explain the existence extent and properties of the two-phase region of colloid stability. Using the n-butylammonium vermiculite system as his model clay system the author clarifies the flaws of conventional theories and presents the experimental details that form the basis of his new theories. He provides rigorous derivations that place the new electrical theory for charged colloids on a firm foundation in statistical mechanics. The author illustrates why a new quantitative bridging flocculation model for polymer-stabilized colloids must replace the depletion flocculation model. Smalley also examines the discovery of the "dressed macroion" structure of clay plates in solution the structure of a bridging polymer and the distribution of polymer segments counterions and water molecules in the interlayer region. Based on the author’s own research and 36 publications in the field Clay Swelling and Colloid Stability isa self-contained and intellectually satisfying account of the revolutionary process leading to a universally sound and increasingly applicable theory of colloid stability.

Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water A Guide to Their Public Health Consequences Monitoring and Management

Cyanobacterial toxins are among the hazardous substances most widely found in water. They occur naturally but concentrations hazardous to human health are usually due to human activity. Therefore to protect human health managing lakes reservoirs and rivers to prevent cyanobacterial blooms is critical. This second edition of Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water presents the current state of knowledge on the occurrence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins as well as their impacts on health through water-related exposure pathways chiefly drinking-water and recreational activity. It provides scientific and technical background information to support hazard identification assessment and prioritisation of the risks posed by cyanotoxins and it outlines approaches for their management at each step of the water-use system. It sets out key practical considerations for developing management strategies implementing efficient measures and designing monitoring programmes. This enables stakeholders to evaluate whether there is a health risk from toxic cyanobacteria and to mitigate it with appropriate measures.
