Competitive surface complexation of o-phthalate and phosphate on goethite (alpha-FeOOH) particles
Complexation of o-phthalate (1,2-benzenedicarboxylate) and competitive complexation of phosphate and phthalate at the goethite-water interface have been studied in 0.1 M Na(NO3) media at 298.2 K within the range 3.0 < -log [H+] < 8.5. Equilibrium measurements were performed as potentiometric titrations supplemented with spectrophotometric phosphate and phthalate analyses. The binary and ternary ch
