| Abstract: | This paper deals with the infrared spectra of “amino acid-clay, calcium carbonate and γ-AlOOH” and “Cu(II)-clay-amino acid”
model systems, and shows that the model of the ternary surface complex is M-OHLCu (L=amino acid) for marine solid particle-Cu
(II)-amino acid. Study of the formation mechanism of the ternary surface complex shows that the specific surface area, and
especially the intrinsic acidity constant, determine whether the ternary surface complex is easily formed, and that factor,F
TSC, quantifies the relationship between the promoting effect of organics on Mt-marine solid particle ion exchange and the intrinsic acidity constant and specific surface area. |
