The intrinsic acidity constants and specific surface area of marine solid particles I. A new method

This paper proposes a new method for determining the intrinsic acidity constantsK _a1 ^int andK _aj ^int . The new method is a great improvement over the modified Langmuir plot method generally adopted in that determination of these constants is not dependent on the specific surface area of the marine solid particles. The new method was used to determineK _a1 ^int ,K _2a ^int and for the main inorganic components of marine solid particles, including illite, montmorillonite, kaolinite, goethite, γ-AlOOH. amorphous ferric oxide, δ-MnO₂, manganite, SiO₂ and calcium carbonate, and can facilitate the study on the effect of solution constituents, solution temperature, ionic strength, etc. on the value of .
