Potentiometric (pH-Metric) Methods of Studying Acid-Base Properties on the Surface of Dispersed Materials

Abstract

The article presents potentiometric (pH-metric) methods that are used to study the acid-base properties of the surface of dispersed materials of different chemical nature. It is shown that the surface of any solid body has a surface hydroxyl-hydrate layer with a set of active adsorption centers (ACA) of different chemical structure and a wide range of acid-base properties. It has been proven that potentiometric (pH-metric) methods of studying dispersed materials in suspensions allow obtaining the most complete information about surface acid-base properties.
