γi: activity coefficient of ion species /.

zi valency of ion species /.

a,: effective diameter of the hydrated ion species /, in units of A.

I: ionic strength of the aqueous solution, in units of mol∕kg.

c: concentration of ion species /, in units of mol∕kg.

Table 4.7 shows the calculated activity coefficient of ions at the ionic strength
of synthetic brine.

4.3.3. Materials and methods

The aqueous phase used here is synthetic brine with pH 8.3, as introduced in
section 4.2.1. Kaolinite (A
2Si2O5(OH)4) is obtained from Sigma-Aldrich with
detailed information in section 4.2.1. Alumina (AI2O3) is obtained from
Sigma-Aldrich (product #19944-3), with particle size 150 mesh (104 μm), pore
size 5.8 nm and specific surface area 155 m2∕g. All the salts in the synthetic brine
were obtained from Fisher Scientific.

All the samples of 50 ml 1.0 % (w∕w) kaolinite or alumina suspension were
