Hydrolysis :
Following generalized equations is used to to describe hydroxocomplexes
formation for trivalent metals ion (when only mononuclear complexes formed):

4.
MeOH2+
Me(OH)22+
Me(OH)32+
Me(OH)42+
Since hydrated metal cations are weak acid called cation acids (asam-2
logam), the formation of metal hydroxocomplexes also considered as the
ionization of these cation acids. For trivalent metals ion that forms only
mononuclear complexes :
1.
Me(H2O)63+
Me(H2O)5(OH)2+ + H+
Me3+
Me(OH)2+ + H+
Me3+

Me3+
Me(OH)22+ + 2H+
Me(OH)32+ + 3H+
Me(OH)42+ + 4H+
or

These type of ionization occur whenever salts containing metal ions dissolved
in water, since H+ ions are produced resulting solution will be acidic.
increase the solubility & should be considered in solubility calculations
Hydroxocomplexes formation constants for Al and Fe table
A log [spesies] vs pH diagram can be used to describe the effect of metal
hydroxocomplex formation on the solubility. Diagrams will be constructed by

A. Defluoridation
Defluoridation applicaions:
- water treatment
- wastewater treatment
CaF2(s) + 2H2O
pH 11 - 12
B. Metals removal
- Mostly metals can be precipitated as metal carbonate &
metal hydroxide, some in the form of metal sulfide
- Need to consider process condition, especially pH to
achieve minimum solubility
- Some metals is amphoter (amfoter), exp ; Cr & Zn
At pH < 7

C. Phosphor removal
- Phosphor can be precipitated using Ca, Fe or Al.
- precipitaion of phosphor as Ca salt is pH depending.
