4.3.3. Materials and methods
The aqueous phase used here is synthetic brine with pH 8.3, as introduced in
section 4.2.1. Kaolinite (A∣2Si2O5(OH)4) is obtained from Sigma-Aldrich with
detailed information in section 4.2.1. Alumina (AI2O3) is obtained from
Sigma-Aldrich (product #19944-3), with particle size 150 mesh (104 μm), pore
size 5.8 nm and specific surface area 155 m2∕g. All the salts in the synthetic brine
were obtained from Fisher Scientific.
All the samples of 50 ml 1.0 % (w∕w) kaolinite or alumina suspension were
