✦ Synopsis


The constant capacitance model was used to describe phosphate adsorption on hematite, kaolinite, and a kaolinite-hematite syswhere s o is the permanent structural charge resulting from tem (k-h). The model assumes a ligand exchange mechanism isomorphous substitutions in soil minerals, s H is the net and considers the charge on both adsorbate and adsorbent. The proton charge, s IS is the inner-sphere complex charge, s OS model is shown to provide a quantitative description of phosphate is the outer-sphere complex charge, and s d is the associated adsorption on these, including the effect of varying pH values.

Oxide minerals except in very acid soils (3, 4), do not constants to experimental data using an optimization technique, have any structural charge, so that the balance of surface was used to obtain optimal values for the anion surface complexation constants on hematite, kaolinite, and a kaolinite-hematite charge reduces to system, while the PC program Ma-Za 1 in Q-Basic language was used for the application of the constant capacitance model.
