Abstract:
A new approach was applied to the description of acid-base properties and heavy and alkaline earth metal adsorption on the oxide-solution interface. The acid-base properties of hematite have been determined at different temperatures. The adsorption of protons and hydroxyl ions on the hematite surface has a temperature independent character. The proton and hydroxyl ion adsorption in NaCl media was explained by the reactions. &tbond;H2O + H3O+ + Cl- = &tbond;H2OHCl + H2O &tbond;OH2 + OH- + Na+ = &tbond;OHNa + H2O. The modified equation of the Frumkin-Fouler-Guggenheim isotherm was used to simulate the experimental data (theta, relative adsorption): log[thetaHCl/(1 - thetaHCl)] - log[H+] - log[Cl-] = log KoHCl + log BH[NthetaHCl/(1 + (N - 1)thetaHCl)]; log[thetaNaOH/(1 - thetaNaOH)] - log[Na+] - log[OH-] = logKoNaOH + logBOH[NthetaNaOH/(1 + (N - 1)thetaNaOH)]. The model parameters were log BH = -4.92 +/- 0.1, log BOH = -2.61 +/- 0.05, N = 3.25 +/- 0.2. The site density of the hematite surface was determined to be 3.8 +/- 0.1 µ moles/m2. The values of the constants were log KoHCl (25-100 degreesC) = 9.50 +/- 0.1; log KoNaOH (25-100 degreesC) = 5.93 +/- 0.1. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
