Article Synopsis
- Ionic surfactants, specifically cationic surfactant CTAB and anionic surfactant LAS, significantly affect silt particle behavior in terms of flocculation and settling.
- CTAB improves the settling velocity of silt particles by over 20% in still water, while LAS slows sedimentation down slightly.
- In flowing water, both surfactants lead to reduced sedimentation rates due to increased dispersion of silt particles, with CTAB showing a lesser degree of reduction compared to LAS, thereby altering sediment characteristics and behavior.
