The aggregation rate was determined for the <0.2,urn size fraction of kaolinite (KGa-2) using simultaneous static and dynamic light scattering at pH 9.5. It was found that method suggested by Holthoff et al. [Langmuir 1996, 12, 5541] is suitable for determination of the absolute aggregation rate constant of a clay dispersion without using the particle optical factors. The determined fast aggregation rate constant is k(11,fast) = (3.7 +/- 0.2) x 10(-11) m(3) s(-1). Stability behavior of kaolinite colloids was studied as a function of concentration of sodium chloride by simultaneous static and dynamic scattering. The critical aggregation concentration was found to be 0.085 +/- 0.005 mol dm(-3). When calculating the relationship between the stability ratio and the electrolyte concentration using the DLVO theory, the best fit to the experimental data was achieved with a Hamaker constant of A = (4.7 +/- 0.2) x 10(-20) J.
