Modeling the acid–base surface chemistry of montmorillonite

“…A second cause of their diversity is that most of the models were constructed by equating their predictions of the specific net proton charge (σ H ) with experimental data on the relative specific net proton charge (δσ H,titr ), which is the change in σ H from its initial value as observed during an acid-base titration experiment [29,30]. If σ H,init is the net proton surface charge at the beginning of a titration experiment, σ H and δσ H,titr are related through…”
