Abstract

This paper outlines the application of a self-consistent cell-model theory of electrokinetics to the problem of determining the electrical conductivity of a dense suspension of spherical colloidal particles. Numerical solutions of the standard electrokinetic equations, subject to self-consistent boundary conditions, are implemented in formulas for the electrical conductivity appropriate to the particle-averaged cell model of the suspension. Results of calculations as a function of frequency, zeta potential, volume fraction, and electrolyte composition, are presented and discussed.
