简介:Monoammoniumphosphate(1molL^-1),monopotassiumphosphate(1molL^-1)andaluminumchloride(5×10^-3molL^-1)wereusedtoinvestigatetheinfluenceofpHontheformationofNH4-taranakiteandK-taranakiteinsystemswithahighNH4H2PO4orKH2PO4concentration.TheexperimentaldataindicatedthatthereactionproductsofaluminumwithNH4H2PO4orKH2PO4changedwiththepHinthesystems.InapHrangeof2.5to10.0,asthepHincreased,theproductsineitherammoniumorpotassiumsystemfollowedthesequence:taranakite,amorphous(NH4,K)2AIH(PO4)2.4H2O,andthencrystalline(NH4,K)AlPO4OH.2H2O.However,thepHrangesoftheformationoftheseproductsinammoniumsystemweredifferentfrompotassiumsystem.NH4-taranakiteformedfrompH2.75topH5.75,whereasK-taranakiteformedinthepHrangeof3.00to5.0,Fromthetheoreticalcalcuationbyacomputerprogram(GEOCHEMversion2.0),NH4-taranakteandK-taranakitecouldformatthepHfrom1.50to8.30andfrom1.25to8.45,respectively.ThesepHrangesweremuchwiderthantheexperimentalresults.Thedifferencebetweentheexperimentaldataandtheoreticaldatawasattributedtothelackofkineticdataand/ortheincompletenessandinaccuracyofthethermodynamicdatainthedatabaseoftheprogram.ThepHrangesoftheformationofthetaranakitesindicatedthatthetaranakitescouldexistintheimmediatevicinityofphosphateferilizerzoneasreactionproductsofphosphatefertilizerswithsoils,especiallyacideicsoils,resultinginthefixationofnotonlyphosphatebutalsonitrogenand/orpotassiuminsoils.
