Dependence of Stability of Sr5(AsO4)3OH on pH Value

Article Preview

Abstract:

The object of this work was to determine the solubility and stability of the synthetic Sr5(AsO4)3OH solid solution at 25°C and the different initial pHs (pH at 2, 6 and 9) by batch dissolution experiments. The results indicated that with the initial pH value of 2, 6 and 9, the reaction system reached equilibrium after 2880h, and by that time the pH value of the solution reached, 7.90, 8.74 and 8.27 respectively. The concentration of strontium and arsenic in the initial solution pH at 2 are higher than that of solutions pH at 6 and 9. While the concentration of strontium in neutral or alkaline solutions is low and stays unchanged.
