Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1992-06-01 Abstract In this report an overview will be given of the basic properties of (suspended) clay particles. In section 2 the structure of clay minerals will be described. The forces between suspended particles (section 3) and the possible consequences of them, flocculation or deflocculation (sections 4 and 5) will be discussed next. Section 7 will deal with the mechanism of peptization. Furthermore, some properties of specific clay minerals will be discussed in section 8 and finally some general conclusions will be drawn in section 9.
