Speciation of organic matter in natural waters. Interaction of polyacrylates with the major cation components of seawater

2004

The speciation of some high molecular weight polycarboxylates was studied in different ionic media. Polyacrylates here investigated (W=2.0, 5.1 and 20.0 kDa) form weak species with alkali metal cations (K=102 mol l1, t=25 jC, I=0 mol l1) and quite stable complexes with alkaline earth metal cations (K>106 mol l1, t=25 jC, I=0 mol l1). Results are reported from experiments performed in a multicomponent electrolyte solution simulating the major composition of seawater (artificial seawater). Protonation constants in this medium are expressed as a polynomial function of S1/2 (S=salinity) and the sharp lowering with respect to values obtained in non-interacting aqueous tetraalkylammonium salts ca…
