Citrate Solubility of Phosphoric Acid in Fertilizers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
With such conflicting results it is difficult to draw definite conclusions. The data are not put forward with that object, but it was felt that there is sufficient interest in the figures themselves to warrant publication. This communication is intended as an interim report on investigations which will be continued as time and occasion permit. However, the general features most worthy of note are as follows:—
(1) The order of the solvent power of the three solutions of each of the two classes remains the same throughout. In the citrate solutions the order is (descending), (1) neutral, (2) acid, (3) alkaline solution, with only two exceptions, viz., the raw bone meals No. 7 and No. 9, discussed under Table III.
With the free acid the solubilities are in the order of the strength of solution without exception.

In the present investigations the above proportion was made 1: 100, and the time 18 hours in order to obtain uniformity between this and the other two citric acid methods.
