12.1 INTRODUCTION The word electrokinetic implies the combined effects of motion and electrical phenomena. Specifically, our interest in this chapter centers on those processes in which a relative velocity exists between two parts of the electrical double layer. This may arise from the migration of a particle relative to the continuous phase that surrounds it. Alternatively, it could be the solution phase that moves relative to stationary walls.
