    Abstract: The refractive index values have been measured as a function of composition range at temperatures 303.15 K, 313.15 K, and 323.15 K and at ambient pressure and reported here. From these data, refractive index deviations, ΔnD, excess molar refraction, RmE, were calculated and correlated by the Redlich-Kister-type polynomial equation to derive the coe... Show More

    Abstract: Characterization of the pristine barite mineral was established using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR). Barite was applied for sodium oleate and sodium palmitate adsorption in aqueous solutions. Equilibrium adsorption data were fitted into two adsorption isotherms, three kinetic models and thermodynamic st... Show More
