Effect Of Anions On The Sodium Adsorption Capacity And Electrophoretic Mobility Of Sodium Saturated Utah Bentonite, Theron G. Sommerfeldt
Effect Of Anions On The Sodium Adsorption Capacity And Electrophoretic Mobility Of Sodium Saturated Utah Bentonite, Theron G. Sommerfeldt
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Sodium saturated Utah bentonite was equilibrated in several concentrations of various sodium salt solutions. The effect of anions on the amount of sodium adsorbed was determined. The effect of anions on the electrophoretic mobility of the clay was also studied. The results are reported herein.
Anions, are generally considered, in the field of surface chemistry, to have no influence on the amount of cations adsorbed or the electrophoretic mobility of negatively charged colloids (5, 10, 28, 41). There is evidence (2, 7, 24, 26, 27, 33) to indicate that anions sometimes have an appreciable effect. If anions influence the amount …
