than with Ca/ Mg ions. The reason may be the adsorptions of Ca/ Mg ions on the
negatively charged surface sites of kaolinite. When Ca/ Mg ions adsorb on the
surface of kaolinite, the negatively-charged sites will become positively- charged.
Thus the net surface charge of kaolinite will become less negative. In the figure,
zeta potential will becomes more negative when adding sodium hydroxide,
sodium silicate, sodium citrate or sodium carbonate.
