title: Electrokinetic studies of metal oxides in the presence of alkali trichloroacetates, trifluoroacetates, and trifluoromethanesulfonates.
abstract: The electrokinetic potentials of anatase (titanium dioxide) and alpha-alumina were studied by means of various instruments in the presence of sodium and potassium trichloroacetates, trifluoroacetates, and trifluoromethanesulfonates at various pH, ionic strengths, and solid-to-liquid ratios. At concentrations up to 0.01 M, these salts do not induce substantial shifts in the isoelectric point of the oxides. Such behavior is typical of inert electrolytes.
