Influence of Ph on the Formation of Polyphosphate Coacervates

Abstract: The coacervation of polyphosphates usually takes place at very low pH value. We show that, in the system Na2O-CaO -P2O5, the decrease of pH is due the hydrolysis of the terminal P-OH groups and that it is a consequence of the coacervation. So a very low pH is not necessary to obtain a coacervate and it is possible to form coacervates in non-acid media (even basic). The same results are obtained with other precursor systems of polyphosphate coacervates. These results may be interesting for the achievement of co… Show more

“…This work confirms previous results about the obtention of coacervates [8,22,25]. The assumption that the coacervation phenomenon requires an acidic pH is erroneous, although this statement was made for zinc coacervate [14,15].…”

“…1. In this figure, concentrations are expressed in moles and the line of the diagram links indicates the two-phase system (coacervate/equilibrium liquid) when starting from a sodium polyphosphate solution [22].The limit of coacervation for a mixture with a too high ZnCl 2 /NaPO 3 ratio is given by the points in the right part of Fig. 1.…”

“…These are generally obtained by double decomposition between soluble calcium and phosphate salt precursors, and some processes lead to dense liquid "coacervates" [11]. Several kinds of phosphate precursors have been used: long-chain polyphosphates (polyP) [12,13], cyclic polyphosphates [14], diphosphates (also called pyrophosphates: P 2 O 7 4-) [15][16][17] or orthophosphates (PO 4 3-) [10]. Without any high temperature treatment, the polyP associations are preserved in the final materials, which remain amorphous.…”
