title: Determination of protonation- and metal complex stability constants for a chelating monomer and its immobilized in polymer resin.
abstract: An improved method is described for the calculation of complex stability constants for metal-ligand complexes considering ligands immobilized in resin phase. The applicability of it has been proved for N'-benzylethylene diamine N,N,N'-triacetic acid monomer (BEDTA) and for the ion exchange resin developed in the authors laboratory immobilizing this with styrene divinyl benzene. Calcium and magnesium metal ion complexes were investigated. Electrochemical and flame photometric measurements were used to collect equilibrium concentration data. The procedure worked out included the measurement of the quantity of resin bound water. Using these and the other experimentally gathered values and the improved way of calculation metal ligand complex stability constants were determined in aqueous media. Ion exchange chromatographic separation of calcium and magnesium ions was performed with a resin containing column for separation and optimized eluent.
