Competitive Adsorption From Solution Between Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Molecules and Ions

Abstract

By considering the variation in concentration with ph of water soluble amines and their ions in aqueous solutions, it is shown that hydrophobic films on platinum are primarily due to the adsorption of free amine in the more alkaline regions of the ph scale. In the less alkaline regions hydrophobicity is due to the adsorption of amine ion.
