Wm. Dong et al., Effects of ionic strength and pH on the stability constants of the complexof Co(II) with soil fulvic acid, J RAD NUCL, 241(2), 1999, pp. 351-353
The stability constants for tracer concentrations of Co(II) complexes with
the red earth fulvic acid were determined at pH 3.8-6.8 and ionic strength
0.001-1.0 mol/l by using the cation exchange equilibrium method and the rad
iotracer Co-60. Th, effects of ionic strength and pH on the stability const
ants of 1:1 Co(II) complexes were investigated, and it was found that the s
tability constants of complexes of humic substances do not vary with ionic
strength and pH in a manner similar to that of simple complexes.
