Abstract An apparatus for the determination of zetapotential is described, which allows measurement of both streaming potential and streaming current as well as electroosmosis with one and the same fiber diaphragm with various electrodes (calomel, Ag/AgCl, palladium). Measurements with glass fibers, fibers of polyacrylonitrile and of polyester, and with cellulose pulp show that identical values for the electrokinetic parameters are obtained independent of voltage applied during electroosmosis resp. pressure difference during streaming measurements. This allows the conclusion that the zetapotential in dilute electrolyte solution is here an unequivocally determinable figure.
