Practical guidelines

It will be apparent that the DLVO calculations can become quite involved, requiring considerable knowledge about the systems of interest. Also, there are some problems. For example, there will be some distortion of the spherical emulsion droplets as they approach each other and begin to seriously interact, causing a flattening. 

There are many other applications of zeta potential, some of which are discussed in later sections, including mineral flotation (Section 10.3.1), bitumen flotation (Section 11.3.2), paper-making (Section 12.2), and many others. 

Many types of colloids tend to adopt a negative surface charge when dispersed in aqueous solutions having ionic concentrations and pH typical of natural waters. 

For such systems, one rule of thumb stems from observations that the colloidal particles are quite stable when the zeta potential is about -30 mV or more negative, and quite unstable due to agglomeration when the zeta potential is between -1-5 and -5 mV. An expanded set of guidelines, developed for particle suspensions, is given in Table 5.1 (from Reference [29]). Such criteria are frequently used to determine optimal dosages of polyvalent metal electrolytes, such as alum, used to effect coagulation in treatment plants.

A number of introductory static hazard texts have been published [25, 33, 67, 72, 731. Useful practical guidelines have also been published by ESCIS [4] and Walmsley [23], respectively based on the contemporary internal practices of Ciba-Geigy [196] and the Royal Dutch/Shell Group [189]. General reading, including electrostatic applications, can be found in the textbooks by Moore [109] and Cross [110].

Many people continue to confuse mentoring with related concepts such as coaching and counselling, and there are significant variations in the practical guidelines on how to do mentoring properly. 

That said, there are of course best practice guidelines with regard to mentoring schemes. We shall try and disseminate these here and, indeed, throughout this book. However, when choosing an approach to implementing your scheme, you should nevertheless carefully assess what would work best for your organization.

Of course, it is not at all clear how one should select the weighting matrices Q i=l,...,N, even for cases where a constant weighting matrix Q is used. Practical guidelines for the selection of Q can be derived from Maximum Likelihood (ML) considerations.
