Thermodynamics of the Reactions at Solid/Liquid Interfaces

Sa？etak The present review discusses the state of the art of the thermodynamic treatment for variable charge at solid/liquid interfaces. The most important equations are given for the case of generic surface sites. This can easily be extended to the more general case for multiple surface sites. Detailed aspects involving thermodynamic standard states of simple and multidentate surface complexes are addressed, and relationships between the commonly-used empirical adsorption isotherms and the Surface Complexation Model are presented.
