Abstract

Kinetic study of sedimentation of alkaline-earth phosphates-magnesium phosphate (MP), calcium phosphate (CP), strontium phosphate (SP) and barium phosphate (BP) precipitates was carried out by varying reactant concentration approach involving turn-wise variation of precursor metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+) and phosphate ion (PO43-) concentrations, and monitoring the settling of the precipitate formed in a precipitate sedimentation measurement apparatus. A pseudo-rate order equation, associated with the approach of varying reactant concentration, was linearized, and the dependence of precipitate sedimentation on precursor concentration, established therewith. Whereas MP precipitate gave positive order-sedimentation increased with increase in concentrations of precursor solutions, orders of CP, SP and BP precipitates were negative-sedimentation decreased with increase in concentrations of precursor solutions. Inter-particle attraction and repulsion associated with high solid concentration, volume of precipitate particles formed as well as chemical interactions of precipitate with the mother solution might have caused these effects.
