Acid/base and metal complex solution chemistry of sulfonated polyacrylate copolymer versus temperature and ionic strength

belec=3.234−1.321×I1/2+0.399×I. Fitted results suggests no significant effect of temperature on the electrostatic factorbelec, which is consistent with electrostatic theory. Results from this study can be used to predict the equilibria of VS-Co in a solution, at various temperature, ionic strength, pH, and metal concentrations.
