Abstract
Potentiometric titrations of aluminium(III) phosphate have been performed in the presence of aqueous electrolyte solutions containing Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and K+ ions as a function of the concentration of the latter, the pH and the temperature. The sorption of Zn2+ ions has also been studied and the data for metal ion sorption shown to correlate with the Potentiometric titration data, indicating that the process responsible for metal ion uptake is ion exchange. The pKa value of the exchanger and its thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated.
