The pH-dependent surface charging and points of zero charge: V. Update

The points of zero charge (PZC) and isoelectric points (IEP) from the recent literature are discussed. This study is an update of the previous compilation [M. Kosmulski, Surface Charging and Points of Zero Charge, CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2009] and of its previous update [J. Colloid Interface Sci. 337 (2009) 439]. In several recent publications, the terms PZC/IEP have been used outside their usual meaning. Only the PZC/IEP obtained according to the methods recommended by the present author are reported in this paper, and the other results are ignored. PZC/IEP of albite, sepiolite, and sericite, which have not been studied before, became available over the past 2 years.
