Abstract
A developed mathematical model for calculating potential distribution inside the electrical double layer is explored in this paper based on the Poisson–Boltzmann equation. By modifying the ion concentration, we numerically simulated the potential profile inside the actual electrical double layer according to the zeta potential. Then a theoretical analysis on the streamwise electroosmotic velocity in microscale channel is presented. Furthermore, the expression of the electroosmotic velocity is significantly suppressed after considering the Helmboltz–Smolucbowski equation boundary conditions. The results show that the calculated electroosmotic values basically agree with the experimental ones. Therefore, this provides the data for micro- and nano-channels’ electrophoretic transport, as well as separation of neutral and charged electrolyte.
