OVERVIEW
The goal here is to come away with an improved
understanding of cation hydrolysis and its effect on the solubility
of minerals, particularly oxide and hydroxde phases.
KEY CONCEPTS
-
The definition of cation hydrolysis
-
How to show hydrolysis as a function of pH
on a speciation diagram
-
How to incorporate cation hydrolysis into
solubility calculations and solubility diagrams
-
The fundamental properties of metal ions
that control their tendency to hydrolyze
