Aa. Helal et al., EFFECT OF SOME METAL-IONS ON THE COMPLEXATION OF STRONTIUM WITH HUMIC-ACID, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 227(1-2), 1998, pp. 49-53
The formation of Sr-humate precipitate was studied colourimetrically a
nd radiometrically at different pH's. It was found that, increasing of
the Sr2+ concentration or the pH value of the solution increases the
precipitated complex. The competition effect of Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, and
Ba2+ on the complexation of Sr2+ by humic acid indicated that both Mg2
+ and Ni2+ substitute Sr2+ in humate complex, while Ba2+ has a very li
ttle effect. In case of Ca2+, increasing of its concentration enhances
the precipitation of Sr2+ with humic acid.
