Analysis of the Potentiometric Titration Curves of Weakly Basic Anionites by A.V. Mamchenko, L.G. Chernova

“…Comparative analyses of the titration curves for weakly basic Amberlite IRA 67, strongly basic AB 17-8 and Lewatit AP 49 anion exchangers led to the suggestion that Lewatit AP 49 contained weak and strong basic groups whose behaviour may be described by the extended Henderson–Hasselbalch equation using various effective equilibrium constants but the same value of n (= 1). An equation for calculating the quantity of strong and weak basic groups in an acrylic anionite has been obtained. …”
