abstract = {The concept of specific polarizability cp, being the ratio
between imaginary conductivity and specific surface area,
can be used to represent the polarization of the
mineral-fluid interface per unit pore-volume-normalized
surface area Spor and to account for the control of the
fluid chemistry and/or mineralogy on induced polarization
(IP) measurements. We used a database of IP measurements on
sands and sand-clay mixtures to investigate the variation in
cp as a function of clay content and/or mineralogy. We found
an apparent variation in cp between sands and sand-clay
mixtures when Spor was calculated using the nitrogen
adsorption (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller — BET) method, with
clays having an apparently higher cp than sands. However,
this variation was considerably reduced when Spor was
calculated using a wet-state methylene blue (MB) method that
also sensed the surface area associated with internal layers
of clay minerals inaccessible with the dry-state BET method.
Furthermore, the imaginary conductivity was significantly
better correlated with Spor determined from the MB method
relative to Spor determined from the BET method. We found no
evidence for a strong difference in the specific
polarizability of quartz and clay minerals. This finding
contradicted predictions from recent mechanistic
formulations of the IP response of the Stern layer. Our
findings have significant implications for improving and
simplifying the interpretation of IP measurements in
near-surface materials.},
