Abstract
SummaryThe ability of clay to move ahead of an ice‐liquid interface depends on the rate of freezing, the particle size, the release of dissolved air from the water through its probable effect on local freezing rates, and on the electrolyte and its concentration through their effects on interparticle forces and particle mobility. A freezing‐rate of 1 cm per hour did not move flocculated clay in most cases, but moved dispersed clay up to 0.7 cm before being trapped in the ice with released air. Aggregates of clay (0.1 to 1 mm) were produced by freezing. After thawing they swelled and dispersed depending on the electrolyte and its concentration in a similar manner to aggregates formed by drying.
