P. Nowak, XANTHATE ADSORPTION AT PBS SURFACES - MOLECULAR-MODEL AND THERMODYNAMIC DESCRIPTION, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 76, 1993, pp. 65-72
On the basis of the analysis of IR spectroscopic data it was assumed t
hat the adsorbing entity in the system lead sulfide-aqueous xanthate s
olution is lead xanthate in molecular form. Starting from this assumpt
ion it was shown that the quantitative data on the adsorption of xanth
ate at the PbS surface may be described by ''classical'' adsorption is
otherms, for example, the Frumkin isotherm.
