The surface reactivity and sorption of Nd and Eu onto K + -saturated Marblehead illite at 25°C, measured in aqueous 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 M KCl solutions, were interpreted with a multi-site-surface complexation model. Model potentiometric titration and sorption curves (computed using the Gibbs free energy minimization code, Selektor-A) resolve into reactions on variable-charge amphoteric sites on edge surfaces and on permanent-charge siloxane surfaces ( x ). Standard partial molal Gibbs free energy of formation from elements (g 298 0 ) for surface complexes were derived from oxide (SiO 2,am and -Al 2 O 3 ) surface deprotonation K A1 0 , K A2 0 and electrolyte adsorption constants K Cl 0 , K Na 0 . Because surface complexation reactions on siloxane basal surfaces are negligible in 1 M KCl, models of surface charge and adsorption edges of Nd and Eu presumed that C 1 is equal to 1.6 Fm -2 for amphoteric site types, and a maximum site density of 1.2 ± 0.2 sites nm -2 for the outer-sphere species, (Al>OH 2 + Cl - ). To obtain values of g 298 0 for exchangeable cations and charged X ~ REE complexes, ion exchange sites were assumed to be fully deprotonated in 1.0 M KCl solutions (pH > 2.7). Proton release and REE 3+ uptake on ion exchange sites were then simulated (pH < 5 and I 0.1 M KCl) using a nonelectrostatic model and assuming a 50% contribution to the total surface area at max,X of 3.0 sites nm -2 whereas the contributions of the silanol ( Sil = 30%) and aluminol ( Alu = 20%) surface types were described using a TLM. At pH < 4.5 and I 0.1 M KCl, "frayed edges" of interlayer site (Y ~ sites, max,Y = 3.0 sites nm -2 ) play a dominant role in controlling surface reactions on ion exchange sites; the contribution to total surface area of "frayed edges" ( Y ) decay exponentially ( Y 0.1% at pH > 4.0) from initial values of 20 to 48%. The application of Gibbs free energy minimization to sorption processes is innovative in that simultaneous treatment of surface complexation reactions and minerals stability is feasible in any system without introducing mass-balance constraints particular to surface species.
