| Abstract: | Crystal-chemical concepts applied to cation adsorption on kaolinite crystals in a water medium permit the calculation of bond energies. These values place the cations in the proper sequence of replacing power. Comparison of bond energies with thermal energy makes possible the calculation of charge on the particle and explains much of the observed behavior of kaolin-water systems. |
