| Comment: |
temperature 298+-0.5°C; 2 distinct populations of adsorption sites on the kaolinite surface: relatively sparse ion-exchange sites on the siloxane faces XH (significant adsorption between pH 3 and 5) and more closely spaced variable-charge hydroxyl sites SOH (probably aluminol groups at crystal edges); SSD, pK from [AJW97] ; cation exchange on the siloxane faces =SiH + K+ = =SiK + H+ |
