Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of exchange of Ni2+ by H+ ions in ionotropic nickel alginate polymembrane gels of capillary structure have been studied by pH-metric and conductimetric techniques. The rate of exchange conforms to; rate=k 1 [nickel alginate] [H+]- k −1 [alginic acid] [Ni2+] with k 1=6.34×10−2dm3mol−1s−1 and k −1=8.83×10−4 s−1 at 20°C, respectively. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic data is discussed.
