specific component of the free energy of adsorption, GASP, of untreated kaolinite and kaolinites surface-treated with isopropyl triisostearoyl titanate (IT) and isopropyl tri(dioctylpyrophosphato) titanate (ITDT) was esti-mated, using the adsorption of several polar and non-polar probes on these surfaces at various measuring temperatures,kaolinites were quantified by KA and KD parameters, reflecting the ability of the surface to act as an electron acceptorand donor, respectively. In the result, all kaolinite surfaces were amphoteric and were able to function as both an elec-tron acceptor and an electron donor.
