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.
