The solubility behavior of sodium arsenate in NaOH solution based on the Pitzer model.

Alkaline leaching is an effective method for dealing with arsenic-containing resources. Arsenic is dissolved in an alkaline solution in the form of arsenate, but the lack of relevant basic data has caused difficulties in the theoretical analysis during production and research. The dissolution behavior of arsenic in the solution was systematically studied in this paper. The solubility behavior of the self-made sodium arsenate in water and NaOH solution were measured. The research on sodium arsenate solution was carried out to obtain the quasi-solubility product using the Pitzer model, and the effect of temperature and NaOH concentration on the solubility and quasi-solubility product of sodium arsenate was clarified.
