Abstract

In this paper, the results on the adsorption of cation on
hydrous Si02, Ah03 and 'Mn02 surfaces are presented. Robust
(kinetically inert) complexes, e. g. [Co(NH3) 6]3+, contrary to metal
ions, e. g. Pb · aq2+, are not able to displace the alkalimetric titration
curves of hydrous oxides. In the case of robust complexes the
pH-dependence of adsorption is only the function of the 1surface
charge (and its pH-dependence). The interpretation of metal ion
adsorption in terms of different models is also .given.
In solution of monomeric ·metal species, hydrolysis need not
be invoked to account for the pH-dependence of adsorpti,on to
hydrous oxide surfaces; this dependence can be explained with the
basicity of the Meo- gfoup and the affinity of this group to the
metal ion. Polymeric or colloidal metal species are usually adsorbed
strongly to surfaces; in this case the surface substrate, as
long as the surface charge is opposite to the charge of the adsorbing
species, has little influence upoP.. the adsoription.
