significant at higher pH and kaolinite is more water-wet. At the same pH, adding
silicate can make kaolinite more water-wet than adding NaOH. NaOH only has
caustic effect to increase pH. For silicate, besides caustic effect, adsorption of
silicate ion on kaolinite positively-charged sites can make the surface of kaolinite
more negatively-charged and make kaolinite become more water-wet.
