Abstract
With acid-base indicators, the change in functional composition of surface of calcite, fluorite and scheelite under the action of high-voltage nano-second pulses has been analyzed. After impulse treatment of mineral samples for
t ≤ 50 s, the concentration of electron-donor Lewis (рКа = - 4.4) and proton-donor (рКа = 1.3, рКа = 4.1) Brønsted centers has grown on the surface of calcite. It is shown in the article that basic transformations of fluorite and scheelite surface under pulse treatment are connected with mutual transformations of Lewis bases and Brønsted acids.
