A new model of surfactant adsorption is presented which incorporates the contributions of the hydrophobic effect, surfactant surface aggregation, surface heterogeneities, and counterion concentrations. The basic assumptions of the new model are that surfactant aggregates forming at the solid/solution interface form locally on the surfacebecause of surface heterogeneity and that these local aggregates, which are pictured as bilayered and are called admicelles, can be treated as a pseudophase, an approach that has been applied successfully to the phenomenon of micelle formation, though with well-known and acknowledged limitations. Development of the model includes a rather detailed treatment of the electrostaticsof adsorbed surfactant aggregates including so-called discreteness of charge effects. After development of a detailed model, a simplified model is applied to experimental data. It is shown that the adjustable parameters assume physically acceptable values which in turn indicates that the estimated molecular parameters, characteristic of the molecularstructure of the surfactant, represent reasonable values. The resulting cumulative distribution of the surface charge density in effect characterizes the surface at a certain temperature, pH, and added elebtrolyte.
