Point of Zero Charge - Relation of Pzc To Isoelectric Point

Relation of Pzc To Isoelectric Point

The pzc is the same as the isoelectric point (iep) if there is no adsorption of other ions than the potential determining H+/OH- at the surface. This is often the case for pure ("pristine surface") oxides in water. In the presence of specific adsorption, pzc and isoelectric point generally have different values.

Famous quotes containing the words relation and/or point:

    Only in a house where one has learnt to be lonely does one have this solicitude for things. One’s relation to them, the daily seeing or touching, begins to become love, and to lay one open to pain.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
