The phrase "alkaline surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, environmental science, or agriculture, where the pH level of a surface is relevant.
Example: "The alkaline surface of the soil promotes the growth of certain types of plants that thrive in high pH conditions."
Alternatives: "basic surface" or "high pH surface".
Not even fish live beneath its alkaline surface.
The gene amoA was most abundant in the neutral to slightly alkaline surface soils from Calcarosols in North-West Victoria.
For this study, 360 fiber specimens were tested for 24 various conditions of initial treatment and alkaline surface modifications.
Compared with CB, the PbO/CB composites prepared by the pyrolysis-pickling method have higher content of alkaline surface functional groups (Calkaline) and less content of carboxyl surface functional groups (CCOOH) on CB particles which are still covered with small amount of PbO, meanwhile they have smaller BET surface area, but larger pore volume and average pore width.
Fig. 3b illustrates that the changes in amplitudes of the alkaline surface pH shifts roughly correspond with the changes in fluxes.
This method of cleaning slides ensures that the charge of the glass surface is not alkaline and therefore, renders the surface suitable for cell adhesion (an alkaline surface is unsuitable for cell adhesion and is caused by alkaline detergents).
Table 10 Equilibrium constants (log Kθ) for alkaline earth surface complexation reactions.
As the pH of the system is increased above the isoelectric point, the alkaline protease surface charge becomes negative.
All other values are from Sverjensky [16] Table 11 Regression slopes and intercepts from Figure 8 used to calibrate predictive alkaline earth surface complexation model.
The presence of a perched water table within the spoil heap resulted in the lower wetlands receiving acidic metal contaminated water from within the spoil heap while the upper wetland receives alkaline, uncontaminated surface runoff from the revegetated spoil.
In an alkaline solution, surface-bound l-arginine molecules are negatively charged due to the formation of carboxylate ions which readily form hydrogen bonds with surface-bound amine groups of neighboring Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
