수용액 내 캐올리나이트와 할로이사이트의 표면화학 특성을 전위차 적정 실험과 FITEQL3.2 프로그램을 이용하여 연구하였다. 표면복합반응 모델 중 일정용량 모델을 적용하였으며, 표면을 사면체 자리와 팔면체 자리로 나누어 설정한 2 sites - 3 pKa/s 모델은 캐올리나이트와 할로이사이트의 표면화학 특성을 설명하는데 적합하였다. 두 점토광물 표면은 pH 4 이상에서 음전하를 띄며 pH가 높아질수록 양성자 표면 전하 밀도는 낮아진다. 산성 및 중성 영역에선 Si 사리(≡SiO- )가, 염기성 영역에선 Al 자리(≡AlO-)가 양이온을 흡착하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예상된다. 모델링 결과 캐올리나이트의 경우 pKa2(si) /int, p Kal(Al) /int /, pKa2 (Al)int /는 각각 4.436. 4.564, 및 8.461이며, 할로이사이트의 경우는 각각 7.852, 3.885, 7.084이다. 캐올리나이트의 총 Si 표면자리 농도와 총 Al 표면자리 농도는 0.215와 0.148 mM이며, 할로이사이트의 경우는 0.357과 0.246 mM이다 두 광물 모두 Si 표면자리 밀도 : Al 표면자리 밀도가 1 : 0.69로 비슷하다. 캐올리나이트의 총 표면자리 밀도는 3.774 sites/nm2로 할로이사이트의 2.292 sites/n m2 값보다 약 1.6배정도 높다.다.

The reaction rate, equilibrium, and flow injection analysis methods were fundamentally evaluated for the determination of aqueous ammonia. The selected indophenol blue method was based on the formation of indophenol blue in which ammonium ion reacted with hypochlorite and phenol in alkaline solution. In the optimized reaction condition, the reaction followed 1st order reaction kinetics and the final product was stable. The absorbance measurements before and after the equilibrium were utilized for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods. The reaction rate methods, based on the relative analytical signals for the possibility of eliminating interferents, were shown to have good linear calibration curves but the detection limit and the calibration sensitivity were poorer than those in the equilibrium method. The detection limits were 32-49 ppb and 24 ppb for the reaction rate and equilibrium methods, respectively. In the flow injection analysis, the absorbance was measured before the equilibrium reached and thus resulted in 30% reduction of calibration sensitivity. However, the detection limit was 11 ppb, indicating that the peak-to-peak noise for the blank was remarkably improved. Compared to the manual methods, the optimized experimental condition in a closed reaction system reduced the blank absorbance and the inclusion of ammonia from the atmosphere was prevented. In addition, highly reproducible mixing of sample and reagents and analytical data extracted from continuous recording showed excellent reproducibility.
