Summary

Stepwise bulk association is correlated to the stepwise pattern of some liquid-gas and solid-liquid interfacial parameters. On the basis of continuous distribution and aGibbs approach, a modifiedGibbs adsorption isotherm, applying to the liquid gas interface, is introduced. The latter describes the stepwise pattern of the liquid-gas interfacial tension curve. The behaviour of adsorption density, zeta potential, contact angle, settling rate of calcite suspensions and carbonate content in solutions were discussed in terms of a proposed stepwise adsorption model.

This model includes stages of direct adsorption of monomers as well as of submicelles (or micelles). Specific combinations of chemi- and physical adsorption may possibly explain distribution between different adsorbing species, thus showing in better detail the initial equilibrium between the different associated forms coexisting in solution. TheStern-Graham adsorption model is applied and a modified version introduced.

Zusammenfassung

Es besteht eine Korrektion zwischen der schrittweisen Assoziation in Masse und der schrittweisen Assoziation an Flüssigkeit-Gas- und Feststoff-Gas-Grenzflächen. Eine abgeänderteGibbssche Adsorptionsisotherme, auf der ununterbrochenenBoltzmannschen Verteilung und einerGibbsschen Betrachtungsweise beruhend und auf die Flüssigkeit-Gas-Grenzfläche anwendbar, wird vorgeschlagen. Diese Isotherme ist eine Darstellung des schrittweisen Schemas der Flüssigkeit-Gas-Grenzflächenspannungskurve. Die Verhaltensweisen der Adsorptionsdichte, des Zeta-Potentials, des Kontaktwinkels, der Absetzgeschwindigkeiten von Kalzitsuspensionen und des Karbonatgehaltes in Lösungen wurden unter dem Gesichtswinkel eines vorgeschlagenen schrittweisen Adsorptionsmodells erörtert.

Dieses Modell umfaßt Stadien von direkter Monomeradsorption sowie von Untermicellen (oder Micellen). Bestimmte Verbindungen von chemischer und physikalischer Adsorption könnten gegebenenfalls die Aufteilung unter verschiedene adsorbierende Arten erklären, so daß das anfängliche Gleichgewicht zwischen den in der Lösung gleichzeitig bestehenden verschiedenen assoziierten Formen mit genaueren Einzelheiten aufgezeigt werden kann. DasStern-Grahamsche Adsorptionsmodell wird angewandt und eine abgeänderte Fassung desselben eingeführt.
