Zeta potential is a crucial physical property that influences the behavior of particles in suspension, particularly in aqueous solutions. It is defined as the electric potential at the shear plane of a particle, which is affected by factors such as pH, salinity, and ionic composition. Recent studies indicate that the pH of CO2-rich aqueous solutions significantly controls zeta potential, while temperature and CO2 pressure also play roles by affecting pH levels. In the context of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), the reversible chlorite anion/chlorine dioxide redox couple presents exciting possibilities for low-cost aqueous rechargeable batteries. This innovative approach could lead to sustainable energy solutions without relying on resource-constrained metals. The negative ions produced during this process can also influence the zeta potential, further impacting the performance of various applications. Understanding zeta potential and its relationship with negative ions like those from chlorine dioxide is essential for optimizing processes in fields ranging from environmental science to energy storage.

I take Coumadin because I have a St Jude mechanical aortic valve. If I take the MMS according to what Jim Humble recommends will that thin my blood to much?
