%X Electrophoretic mobility measurements, and both conductometric and potentiometric titrations, were carried out on a kaolinite suspension throughout its neutralization by various bases. The concentration of the ionic species present was calculated from the conductometric and potentiometric titrations, and the true &#950;-potential calculated from the electrophoretic mobility by Stigter and Mysels's (1955) method. The results indicate that a discontinuity exists in the adsorption of ions in the vicinity of pH 6.5-7.0 causing a considerable increase in the surface charge density of the particles.
