Dielectric Relaxation of Aqueous NaCl Solutions
journal contribution
posted on 1998-12-17, 00:00 authored by Richard Buchner, Glenn T. Hefter, Peter M. MayThe complex dielectric permittivity of aqueous sodium chloride solutions has been determined in the frequency
range 0.2 ≤ ν(GHz) ≤ 20 with a commercial dielectric measurement system based on a vector network
analyzer. NaCl solutions 0.1 ≤ m (mol kg-1) ≤ 5 (mass fraction 0.005 ≤ w ≤ 0.23) were investigated at 5,
20, 25, and 35 °C. An improved calibration procedure of the dielectric measurement system for conducting
samples was developed. The complex permittivity spectra have been represented by a Cole−Cole relaxation
time distribution. Where possible, the obtained fitting parameters, static permittivity ε and relaxation time τ,
and distribution parameter α, are compared with literature data to assess the performance of the instrument,
which was found to be comparable to that of time domain and waveguide systems. Effective solvation numbers
were deduced from the effect of NaCl concentration on ε. The data suggest that in addition to the irrotational
bonding of water molecules by Na+ ions, kinetic depolarization under slip boundary conditions determines
the solution permittivity. A three-state model is proposed to describe the concentration dependence of τ.
