The adsorption of palmitic acid by calcite was determined as a function of palmitic acid concentration and salinity. Adsorption isotherms were generally of the S-type, indicating probable hydrophobic interaction of adsorbed species. The effect of increased salinity was to increase adsorption from 0-25 ppt, then to decrease adsorption from 25-35 parts per thousand. The adsorption increase results from decreased solubility, whereas the adsorption decrease may be related to micelle formation. Dissolved Mg 2+ was found to strongly inhibit fatty acid adsorption. Desorption of surface-bound phosphate was associated with palmitic acid adsorption. The relationship between adsorbed Mg 2+ , phosphate and palmitic acid suggests investigation of adsorption behavior of natural phospholipid compounds.
