Diffusional Growth of Colloids
Abstract
We consider incorporation of particle detachment in Smoluchowski model of colloidal growth. Two approaches are considered, utilizing phenomenological rate equation and exact large-time results. Our main conclusion is that the value of the large-time diffusing particle concentration at the aggregate surface is the only parameter needed to describe the added effect of detachment. Explicit expression is given for the particle intake rate.
