[en] The paper reports on results study aimed at assessing of the influence of dispersant type on the electrochemical properties of highly concentrated alumina suspension. The relationship between the type of dispersant and the stabilization ability towards ultrafine alumina powder CT3000 has been studied. The effectiveness was determined mainly by the zeta potential value, specific surface charge, the shift in the pH(iep) and by visual controlling the fluidity of the slurry at constant solid loading. A good agreement between the zeta potential and the specific surface charge as a way to determine the optimal dose of dispersant has been documented. Gel-casting experiments showed that the Dolapix CE64, an ammonium polyacrylate dispersant was the best dispersant for the studied powder.
