Abstract:
The effect of hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-) ions and monovalent cations (Na+, K+) solvated in water have been studied according to high spectrally resolved Raman measurements. Water solutions with different bicarbonate concentrations or added with increasing amounts of monovalent cations were examined with respect to their Raman spectra both in the bulk state and at the solid/liquid interface with a silicon nitride (Si3N4) bioceramic.
