Chemical properties of material surfaces

the long version

"This reference discusses the adsorption of inorganics from aqueous solution on inorganic absorbents and emphasizes the relationship between adsorption and surface charging - highlighting simple and complex adsorption systems sorted by the adsorbent as well as the adsorbate." "Providing the most comprehensive and current collection of pristine points of zero charge (PZC) of different materials - covering crystallographic structure, methods of preparation, impurities in the solid, temperature and ionic composition of the solution, experimental methods to determine PZC, and the correlation between zero points and other physical quantities - Chemical Properties of Material Surfaces explores adsorption of inorganic ions on silica, specific salts, metal oxides, and hydroxides ... surface charging in inert electrolytes ... ternary surface complexes and multiple surface species ... surface heterogeneity ... and more."--BOOK JACKET.
