Abstract

The electrokinetic potentials of anatase (titanium dioxide) and α-alumina were studied by means of various instruments in the presence of sodium and potassium trichloroacetates, trifluoroacetates, and trifluoromethanesulfonates at various pH, ionic strengths, and solid-to-liquid ratios. At concentrations up to 0.01 M, these salts do not induce substantial shifts in the isoelectric point of the oxides. Such behavior is typical of inert electrolytes. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
