Dankwerts and McNeil ( 3) have employed the method of Van Krevelen et al. to predict the partial pressure of carbon dioxide over carbonated alkanolamine solutions. The central feature of this model is the use of pseudo-equilibrium constants and their dependence on ionic strength. The ratio of the pseudo-equilibrium constant at a certain ionic strength to that at zero ionic strength has been termed the "ionic characterization factor". However, ionic strength alone is insufficient to determine the ionic characterization factors. As well the ionic characterization factors are sometimes not a simple linear function of ionic strength. 

It should be noted that the local composition model is not consistent with the commonly accepted solvation theory. According to the solvation theory, ionic species are completely solvated by solvent molecules. In other words, the local mole fraction of solvent molecules around a central ion is unity. This becomes unrealistic when applied to high concentration electrolyte systems since the number of solvent molecules will be insufficient to completely solvate ions. With the local composition model, all ions are, effectively, completely surrounded by solvent molecules in dilute electrolyte systems and only partially surrounded by solvent molecules in high concentration electrolyte systems. Therefore, the local composition model is believed to be closer to the physical reality than the solvation theory. 

The precursor model of FAB applies well to ionic analytes and samples that are easily converted to ionic species within the liquid matrix, e.g., by protonation or deprotonation or due to cationization. Those preformed ions would simply have to be desorbed into the gas phase (Fig. 9.6). The promoting effect of decreasing pH (added acid) on [M+H] ion yield of porphyrins and other analytes supports the precursor ion model. [55,56] The relative intensities of [Mh-H] ions in FAB spectra of aliphatic amine mixtures also do not depend on the partial pressure of the amines in the gas phase, but are sensitive on the acidity of the matrix. [57] Furthermore, incomplete desolvation of preformed ions nicely explains the observation of matrix (Ma) adducts such as [M+Ma+H] ions. The precursor model bears some similarities to ion evaporation in field desorption (Chap. 8.5.1). 

Although the MEG model is essentially ionic in nature, it may also be used to evaluate interactions in partially covalent compounds by appropriate choices of the wave functions representing interacting species. This has been exemplified by Tossell (1985) in a comparative study in which MEG treatment was coupled with an ab initio Self Consistent Field-Molecular Orbital procedure. In this way, Tossell (1985) evaluated the interaction of C03 with Mg in magnesite (MgC03). Representing the ion by a 4-31G wave function, holding its... 

From the point of view of chemical modeling, aqueous solutions are treated as electrolytic solutions —i.e., solutions in which solutes are present partially or totally in ionic form. Speciation is the name for the characteristic distribution of ion species in a given aqueous solution in the form of simple ions, ionic couplings, and neutral molecules. Solutes in aqueous solutions are defined as electrolytes and may be subdivided into nonassociated and associated. Nonassociated electrolytes are also defined as strong and mainly occur in the form of simple or simply hydrated ions. An example of a strong electrolyte is the salt NaCl, which, in aqueous solution of low ionic strength, occurs in the form of completely dissociated Na and CN ions. 

In such models, the bonding is considered to be partially ionic with a charge transfer from A1 to the Ni 3d valence band. To explain the properties of /J NiAl at a more sophisticated level, Fox and Tabernor (1991) measured four low-angle structure factors by the HEED critical-voltage technique. The deformation density based on these four reflections shows a depletion of density around both the Ni and A1 atoms, and a buildup of about 0.13 eA-3 along the [111] direction halfway between Ni and A1 nearest neighbors. 

The deviations from the Szyszkowski-Langmuir adsorption theory have led to the proposal of a munber of models for the equihbrium adsorption of surfactants at the gas-Uquid interface. The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the theories and assess their applicabihty to the adsorption of both ionic and nonionic surfactants at the gas-hquid interface. The thermodynamic approach of Butler [14] and the Lucassen-Reynders dividing surface [15] will be used to describe the adsorption layer state and adsorption isotherm as a function of partial molecular area for adsorbed nonionic surfactants. The traditional approach with the Gibbs dividing surface and Gibbs adsorption isotherm, and the Gouy-Chapman electrical double layer electrostatics will be used to describe the adsorption of ionic surfactants and ionic-nonionic surfactant mixtures. The fimdamental modeling of the adsorption processes and the molecular interactions in the adsorption layers will be developed to predict the parameters of the proposed models and improve the adsorption models for ionic surfactants. Finally, experimental data for surface tension will be used to validate the proposed adsorption models.
