Chemical Properties of Material Surfaces
by Mark Kosmulski

This authoritative reference discusses the adsorption of inorganics from aqueous solution on inorganic adsorbents and emphasizes the relationship between adsorption and surface charging—highlighting simple and complex adsorption systems sorted by the adsorbent as well as the adsorbate.

Contains helpful tables displaying experimental results representing the distribution of the adsorbate between solid and solution combined with electrokinetic data, adsorption and fluorescence spectra, and X-ray absorption!

Provides the most comprehensive and current collection of pristine 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!

With over 1500 useful references, this timely and well-researched tool is essential for colloid, surface, physical, materials, polymer, chemical, and environmental chemists; chemical engineers; material scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
