Abstract
Centrifugal photosedimentation was used to determine the size distribution of dilute bentonite suspensions as a function of saturating cation. This method is shown to give a better estimate of the effect of saturating cation on tactoid size than the techniques that are currently used. The results indicate that tactoids may occur in preferred size ranges.Keywords
