The basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is
- A Le-Chatelier's principle
- B peptisation
- C neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles
- D scattering of light
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In Cottnell's precipitator, the charged particles are attracted towards the walls of precipitator, here they lose their charge and coagulate. Hence, the basic principle of Cottnell's precipitator is the neutralisation of charge on colloidal particles.
