Abstract

The study of the ternary interactions of some phenoxyacetic acids derived from a herbicide, with the heavy metals present in soil in trace amounts has been realized by potentiometric measurements. The stability constants of the ternary complexes have been calculated at 25°C and ionic strength 0.1(NaNO3). The experimental results have confirmed the presence of one ternary hydroxide species MH−1(2,4-D)(2,4-MCPA) for Cu(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) on one hand and MH−2(2,4-D)(2,4-MCPA) for Hg(II) on the other. The order of stability constants has been found to be: Cu(II)>Hg(II)>Pb(N)>Zn(N)>Cd(N). Finally, a quantum approach has been achieved by the semi-empirical AM1 method for the mercuric complex.
