Study the concentration of the brine effect in the granular gel swelling

The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide a data for gel selection. This work involves the study of swelling and deswelling kinetics of granular gels. The swelling and deswelling kinetic curves of the granular gel will be measured and their swelling and deswelling kinetic parameters will be estimated. The swelling ratios of the granular gel in brine solutions of different concentrations will be determined from both the swelling and deswelling processes. The effect of the temperature and the concentration of the brine will be considering in this task.
