Diffuse Double Layer: Concept, Properties and Shortcomings | Soil Colloids

After reading this article you will learn about:- 1. Concept of Diffuse Double Layer 2. Important Properties of Diffuse Double Layer 3. Factors Affecting 4. Shortcomings. Concept of Diffuse Double Layer: The exchangeable ions are surrounded by water molecules and may thus be considered as forming a solution which is often a micellar solution or inner solution. The solution containing [...]

Ion Exchange in Soil: Cation and Anion

After reading this article you will learn about the cation and anion exchange in soil. Cation Exchange: In a near neutral soil, calcium remains adsorbed on colloidal particle. Hydrogen ion (H+ ) generated as organic and mineral acids formed due to decomposition of organic matter. In colloid, hydrogen ion is adsorbed more strongly than is the calcium (Ca++). The reaction [...]
