Evaluation of the complexes of galactomannan of Leucaena leucocephala and Co2+, Mn2+ , Ni2+ and Zn2+

The binding constants for the complexed species formed in aqueous solution between galactomannan of Leucaena leucocephala and the metal ions Co2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ were determined by potentiometric titrations. The calculated values showed Ni2+ as the best Lewis acid towards the Lewis base -OH gro...
