the role of calcite as related to the chemical behavior of boron (b) in calcareous soils was investigated through an assessment of b adsorption and desorption reactions on and from calcite in four ratios of solid to solution rate, three levels of ionic strength, and within a ph range of 7.5 to 11.5. experimental data indicated that b adsorption is increased by an increase in the solid to soluti...

plants uptake boron (b) from the soil solution, in which boron concentration is controlled by adsorption and desorption reactions on soil organic and inorganic colloids. considering the importance of aluminosilicate minerals in ion adsorption and desorption reactions in soil, in this research, b adsorption behavior on kaolinite was studied as a function of equilibrium concentration, ph, kaolini...

introduction: boron (b) is an essential plant micronutrient whose soil availability is influenced by many soil factors.understanding the processes controling activity of boron (b) in the soil solution is important for soil fertility management. the reaction of adsorption and desorption of boron in soil determines the amount of boron that is available to plants. adsorption–desorption processes p...

Understanding anion adsorption mechanisms is necessary to allow prediction of anion adsorption behavior. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the triple layer model, a chemical surface complexation model, to describe the effect of changes in solution ionic strength (0.01-1.0 M NaCl) and solution pH (3-11) on B adsorption by the iron oxide, goethite, the aluminum oxide, gibbsite, ...

Prediction of anion adsorption behavior is enhanced by understanding the adsorption mechanism. This study was conducted to evaluate ionic strength effects on B adsorption and to infer B adsorption mechanisms on various surfaces. Boron adsorption on the Fe oxide goethite, the Al oxide gibbsite, the clay minerals kaolinite and montmorillonite, and two arid-zone soils was investigated as a functio...

The influence of ionic strength and the molecular weight of polyacrylic acid (PAA) on its adsorption and the structure of adsorbed polymer layer on SiO2 surface in the presence NaCl and CaCl2 was measured. Thickness of PAA adsorption layers on the SiO2 surface in these two electrolytes were also measured as well as the expansion coefficient (α) of PAA in CaCl2. The increase of: ionic strength, ...

Oleate flotation characteristics of hematite have been investigated in thjs study under a wide range of experimental conditions of pH, temperature, ionic strength and collector concentration. The study revealed the following major features of this system which include: (a) a maximum in floatability in the neutral pH range; (b) an increase in the flotation response of hematite with increase eith...

The adsorption of quaternized poly(vinylpyridine) (QPVP) on controlled pore glass (CPG) size, over the ionic strength range 0.001-0.5 M was found to display nonmonotonic behavior as a function of pore size. Both adsorption kinetics and ionic strength effects deviated dramatically from behavior typical of adsorption on flat surfaces when the ratio of the pore radius Rp to the polymer hydrodynami...
