T. Hamieh et al., STUDY OF ACID-BASE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SOME METALLIC OXIDES AND MODEL ORGANIC-MOLECULES, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 125(2-3), 1997, pp. 155-161
Inverse gas chromatography technique at infinite dilution was used to
calculate the acidic and basic surface characteristics of three oxides
(Monogal, MgO and ZnO). We determined the specific interactions betwe
en them and model organic molecules and showed the amphoteric feature
of such oxides. It was observed that MgO is more basic than the others
. We also proved that the usual relation giving the specific enthalpy
of adsorption (Delta H-sp) of a polar molecule adsorbed on a solid: (-
Delta H-sp)=(KADN +K(D)AN) was not correct. We proposed a new relation
ship by adding a third parameter K reflecting the amphoteric character
of the solid according to: (-Delta Hsp) = K(D)AN + K(D)AN - KANDN We
proved that our model gives the best results relatively to those obtai
ned by the classical equation. Another relationship was also proposed:
(-Delta Hsp) = w(KADN + K(D)AN) where w is the weighing factor of the
exchanging interactions between adsorbed molecule and solid substrate
