| Abstract: | This paper deals with the infrared spectra of " amino acid- clay , calcium carbonate and y-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, FTSC,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. |
