Abstract: The low coherence optical fiber dynamic light scattering method is used to measure the effective diffusion coe?cients of nano SiO2 aggregates suspensions with different volume fractions. The single scattering component can be detected preferentially from the multiply scattered light which is backscattered from the dense suspensions by the low coherence optical fiber dynamic light scattering. Consequently, the measured single-scattering spectrum enables the analysis of the effective diffusion coe?cient by the single scattering theory. The numerical calculation results of short-time diffusion dynamics for permeable particles in dense suspension show that the effective diffusion coe?cient is a function of particle size and hydrodynamics shielding depth ratioβ, and the volum fraction?. According to the corrected Brinkman theory, the permeability of the nano SiO2 aggregates is obtained. For the volume fraction ?=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05 nano SiO2 aggregate suspensions with the average particle diameter 500 nm, the measured effective diffusion coe?cients are 4.14 ± 0.10, 4.06 ± 0.06, 3.97 ± 0.06, 3.90 ± 0.08, 3.80 ± 0.10 ( × 10?13 m2/s) respectively. While according to the hard sphere model of impermeable particles, which corresponds to β =∞, the calculated effective diffusion coe?cients are 3.70, 3.61, 3.52, 3.42, 3.36 ( × 10?13 m2/s) respectively. It can be seen that the measured values are much bigger than the theoretical values of impermeable particles: their difference comes from the influence of permeability of porous aggregates on particle diffusion. It is found that the measured values are consistent with that of β =12, in which the corrsponding permeability of the nano SiO2 aggregates is k=4.34 × 10?16 m2. The pixel statistic method by Photoshop CS6 is used to deal with the SEM images of SiO2 aggregates, the calculated permeability of the nano SiO2 aggregates is k = 4.55 × 10?16 m2, compared with the experimental result, the standard error is 4.87%. The results show that under the condition of constant temperature, the particles of permeable aggregates spread faster than the hard sphere particles. For constant temperature, particle size and permeability, the effective coe?cient decreases with the increase of the volume fraction. The measured permeability of SiO2 aggregates in concentrated suspension is consistent with that obtained from the pixel statistics by Photoshop CS6. As a result, the low coherent optical fiber dynamic light scattering can effectively measure the permeability of porous nano particles in concentrated suspension, showing high potential application in the field of chemical engineering and nano materials preparation.
