Abstract

A simple, sensitive, and practical apparatus was designed and constructed by refitting a commercially available electronic balance, and the equipment has been used for superparamagnetic Fe3O4 colloidal particle size and size distribution analysis. The apparatus is especially suitable for teaching students basic experimental skills and it illustrates the basic concepts of sedimentation.
