Lyotropic ion effects in guar gum adsorption on various minerals

Adsorption of guar gum was studied on a number of oxide and clay minerals. The tests were performed as a function of salt concentration and pH from solutions of lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium chlorides. The four salts allowed an assessment to be made of the significance of lyotropic ion phen...
