Ln. Samuskevich et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT ANIONIC COMPOSITION OF THE H3PO4-CO(NH2)(2)-H2OSYSTEM - EFFECT OF INORGANIC SALTS, Inorganic materials, 34(3), 1998, pp. 293-296
The effect of temperature and additives (zinc(II) and tin(II) salts, N
a4P2O7, Na5P3O10) on the anionic composition of the H3PO4-CO(NH2)(2)-H
2O system was studied by paper chromatography. The anionic composition
is found to be governed by the kinetic competition between hydrolysis
and condensation. The addition of Na4P2O7 or Na5P3O10 ensures high di
- and triphosphate contents of the solutions. Tin(II) and zinc(II) cat
alyze the hydrolysis of polyphosphates and increase the fraction of sh
ort-chain species.
