Abstract:
Stability constants of weathered coal fulvic acid,red earth fulvic acid and humic acid with Eu(Ⅲ) are determinated by the modified Stevenson’s cation exchange method.It is found that 1∶1 type complexes of the three humic substances with Eu(Ⅲ) are mainly formed, respectively under the experimental conditions (pH=5±0.2, I =0.01 mol/kg,the concentrations of three humic substances range from 10 -4 mol/L to 10 -3 mol/L and free Eu(Ⅲ) concentrations range from 10 -7 mol/L to 10 -6 mol/L).The averages of stability constants of Eu(Ⅲ) complexes with the weathered coal fulvic acid,the red earth fulvic acid and the humic acid are 4.76±0.12,3.78± 0.11 and 4.48 ±0.17,respectively.tabilityc
