The release of hydroxyl ions during specific adsorption of chloride by variable‐charge soils of China was studied by comparing the difference in pH of the suspension between a HCl‐treated system and a HNO 3 −treated system. A difference occurred only for the variablecharge soils, but not for the permanent‐charge soil. The release of OH − ions decreased upon removal of free iron oxides. The quantity of released OH was larger for electrodialyzed soils than that for untreated soils. It was less than 10% of the amount of Cl added. The OH/CI ratioincreased with increasing addition of HCl, suggesting that more OH relative to H 2 O was replaced by CI.
