The basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is
Options
- ALe-Chatelier's principle
- Bpeptisation
- Cneutralisation of charge on colloidal particles
- Dscattering of light
Correct answer
C. neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles
Step-by-step solution
In Cottnell's precipitator, the charged particles are attracted towards the walls of precipitator, here they lose their charge and coagulate. Hence, the basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is the neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles.
