Variable surface charge (Q v ) is one of the most important soil properties controlling ion adsorption on the soil solid phase. In this study, the back-titration technique was used to determine the Q, of soils with a wide range of properties. The procedure defines the Q, as the OH - consumption by surface reactions corrected for dissolution of the solid phase and other solution reactions (e.g., metal hydrolysis). The Q v , varying from 0 to 80 cmol c kg -1 , was dependent on the pH of the soil suspension and the amount of soil organic matter. We used the non-ideal competitive adsorption (NICA)-Donnan model to simulate the surface charge, assuming a bimodal distribution of H + affinity on the soil solid phase. With the charge data and Microsoft Excel, the NICA-Donnan model parameters were optimized. The model provided an excellent fit to the experimental data. When the pH was below 8, the surface charge was dominantly distributed to the Type 1 sites; the Type 2 sites started to contribute to the total surface charge at pH > 8. Multiple linear regressions showed that the charge maxima (Q max ) of the two sites were related to soil cation-exchange capacity (CEC) and organic C (Org. C); these significant statistical relationships may be used to estimate the surface charge of soils using values of commonly measured soil parameters.
