It was found that all the concentration ratios CCl- / CNO3- and CCl- / CClO4- in suspension were smaller than unity when soil samples were in equilibrium with mixed KCl and KNO3 or KCl and KClO4 solutions of equal concentration. The order of the amount of chloride, nitrate and perchlorate adsorbed by variable charge soils was Cl-> NO3-> ClO4- when the soils adsorbed these anions from the solution containing equal concentrations of Cl-, NO3- and ClO4-. Such factors as the pH of the suspension, the iron oxide content of the soil etc. could affect the amounts and the ratios of anions adsorbed. The adsorption was chiefly caused by coulombic attraction, but a covalent force between the anion and the metal atom on the surface of soil particles may also be involved, at least for Cl- ions, even for NO3- ions.展开更多

The results indicated that the variable charge soils saturated with H and Al showed a much higher preference for potassium ions relative to sodium ions, and this tendency could not be changed by such factors as the pH, the concentration of the cations, the dielectric constant of solvent, the accompanying anions and the iron oxide content etc., suggesting that this difference in affinity is caused by the difference in the nature of the two cations. It was observed that a negative adsorption of sodium ions by latosol and lateritic red soil in a mixed system containing equal amount of potassium and sodium ions at low pH, which is caused by a competitive adsorption of potassium and sodium ions and repulsion of positive charge on the surfaces of soil particles for cations. The adsorption of potassium and sodium ions increased with the decreases in the dielectric constant of solvent and the iron oxide content. Sulfate affected the adsorption of potassium and sodium ions through changing the surface properties of the soils.展开更多

The measured cell potential was not affected by the total electrolyte concentration when the total cation concentration was 10-1-10-3 mol L-1 and the concentration ratio CK+ / CNa+. was 10:1 to 1:50. When the concentration ratios were equal to 1and the total electrolyte concentrations were 10-2 and 10-3 mol L-1, the ion activity ratio measurement would not be affected by pH in the pH range of 3.5 to 11.5 and 4.4 to 11 respectively. Ions other than H+ have no remarkable influence on the measurement. The ion activity ratio of K+ to Na+ measured directly in soil suspension agree well with those in centrifuged supernant solution. The relative deviation was within 4%. From the measured ion activity ratio, the difference of the bonding energies of K+ and Na+ ions was calculated.展开更多
