Ternary surface complexes by the E(%)-pH curve method

A new method for the study of ternary surface complexes at liquid-solid interface,the E(%)-pH curve method,was proposed.Four types of E(%)-pH curves,namely,phenomenon of left-right shifts of S-shaped curve,V-shaped curve,monodirection shift curve and X-shaped curve,were discovered.Correspondingly,apart fromtype (Ⅰ) ternary surface complex -S-O-M-L and type (Ⅱ) ternary surface complex -S-L-M,a newtype of ternary surface complex -S-O-L-M was discovered.
