F. Bassmann et al., Adsorption of nonionic and anionic polymers on gamma-alumina and Na-montmorillonite and their mixtures, J DISP SCI, 20(1-2), 1999, pp. 607-620
Adsorption isotherms of nonionic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and anionic ion
ized polyacrylic acid (PAA) polymers on single Na-montmorillonite clay and
gamma-alumina adsorbents in 0.01M NaCl and pH 5.6 are reported and compared
to results obtained with aqueous adsorbent mixtures. Microelectrophoretic
behaviours of adsorbents are also observed.
It can be shown that antagonistic effects due to interactions between oppos
itely charged adsorbent surfaces largely limit the nonionic PVP adsorption.
