ABSTRACT
Anionic det!?rgen!s adsorption on the surface ofcalcium carbonate
crystals has heen investigated as a function of concentration of
detergents, amounT ofcalcium carbonate crystals, time ofadsorption
and temperature. The experimental data has been interpreted
according to Langmuir udsorption isotherm.
