Lonestar Sand

• Aqueous solution

• Calcium hydroxide

• Triton X-100, 2.56E-2 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.53E-1 mol/L (<CMC)

• Triton X-100, 1.02 mol/L (>CMC)

Calcium Hydroxide caused an increase in pH to 9.8. As pH increases above 2, the surface charge on sand particles becomes more negative and the particles repel each other.
