Rare earth carbonate and oxalate complexation constants have been determined through ex-amination of distribution equilibria between tributyl phosphate and an aqueous perchlorate phase. Carbonate complexation constants appropriate to the REE in seawater (25° C, 35%., 1 atm) can be described in terms of atomic number, Z. nlog sw β 1= 4.853+ 0.1135 (Z− 57)− 0.003643 (Z− 57) 2 log sw β 2= 80.197+ 0.1730 (Z− 57)− 0.002714 (Z− 57) 2 where sw β 1=[MCO+ 3][M 3+][CO 2− 3] T, sw β 2=[M (CO 3)− 3][M 3+][CO 2− 3] 2'T [M 3+] is an uncomplexed rare earth concentration in seawater,[MCO+ 3] and [M (CO− 3) 2] are carbonate complex concentrations, and [CO 2− 3] T is the total (free plus ion paired) carbonate ion concentration in seawater (molal scale). Our analyses indicate that in seawater with a total carbonate ion concentration of 1.39× 10− 4 moles/Kg H 2 O, carbonate complexes for the lightest rare earth, La, constitute 86% of the total metal, 7% is free La 3+ and the remaining 7% exists as hydroxide, sulfate, chloride and fluoride complexes. For Lu, the heaviest rare earth, carbonate complexes are 98% of the total metal, 0.3% is uncomplexed and 1.5% is complexed with hydroxide, sulfate, chloride and fluoride. Oxalate and carbonate constants are linearly correlated. This correlation appears to be quite useful for estimating trivalent metal-arbonate stability constants from their respective oxalate stability constants.
