Abstract:
The ion exchange capacities of microcrystals of monoclinic Zirconia were measured as a function of pH. These crystals were shown to exhibit a variable pH dependent anion exchange capacity in acidic and cation exchange in basic media. The exchange capacities were also strongly dependent on counter ion concentrations in external solution. The anion exchange capacities were shown to be a single valued function of the activities of acid in the equilibrium solution, and the cation exchange capacities, a single valued function of the activities of base in the external solution.
