Abstract

The acid-base properties of the glauconite surface has been studied by potentiometric titration. Using a surface complexation model with a constant exchange capacity, it was shown that positively charged surface centers and exchange centers dominate in the acidic pH region, and negatively charged centers dominate in the neutral and alkaline regions. The corresponding constants of acid-base equilibrium have been calculated. The data obtained were used to study the sorption of cadmium and lead on glauconite.
