Abstract
A platinum-lined, flowing autoclave facility is used to investigate the solubility behavior of copper(II) oxide (CuO) in aqueous sodium phosphate solutions at temperatures between 19 and 262°C. Copper solubilities are observed to increase continuously with temperature and phosphate concentration. The measured solubility behavior is examined via a Cu(II) ion hydrolysis/complexing model and thermodynamic functions for the hydrolysis/complexing reactions are obtained from a leastsquares analysis of the data. Altogether, thermochemical properties are established for five anionic complexes: Cu(OH) − 3 , Cu(OH) 2− 4 , Cu(OH) 2 (HPO 4 )2−, Cu(OH) 3 (H 2 PO 4 )2−, and Cu(OH) 2 (PO 4 )3−. Precise thermochemical parameters are also derived for the Cu(OH)+ hydroxocomplex based on CuO solubility behavior previously observed (Ref. 3) for pure water at elevated temperatures. The relative ease of Cu(II) ion hydrolysis is such that Cu(OH) − 3 species become the preferred hydroxocomplex for pH≥9.4.
