Abstract:

The effects of the mass fraction of GY-D08, pH value and inorganic ions on the dispersion stability of flufenoxuron suspension concentrate were studied by means of measuring zeta potential and average size analysis. The dispersion stability of suspension concentrate was closely related to the mass fraction of GY-D08; the optimum mass fraction of GY-D08 was 2%(mass fraction) when preparing 5%(mass fraction) flufenoxuron suspension concentrate with GY-D08; the dispersion stability would be worse on condition that GY-D08 was overfull or lacking. pH affected the ionization of GY-D08 in water, at the pH value of 9 the dispersion stability of suspension concentrate was best on account of strong electrostatic exclusion and steric hindrance which was provided by completely ionizing of the molecules. Mg2+ or Ca2+ was able to decrease Zeta potential by compressing the electronic double layer thickness of particles surface, which could lead to particles aggregation due to the reduction of electric quantity and ultimately make the dispersive effect of suspension concentrate worse, then the higher the content of Mg2+ or Ca2+ was, the worse the dispersion stability of flufenoxuron suspension concentrate was. If the ions concentration were the same, the capacity of compressing the electronic double layer thickness of particles surface by Ca2+ was stronger than Mg2+, the dispersion stability of suspension were worse after adding Ca2+.
