How to stabilize pH of the solution that containes silica?
Hello,
I have a problem with adjusting the pH of my solution to value 7.
It contains these chemicals: Na2SiO3, CaCl2, KCl, Na2SO4, NaHCO3 and NaCl. The initial pH (after adding all of these stuff) is around 10. The problem occurs when I start adding HCl (probably due to the present silica). I can not for some reason stabilize the pH. It is constantly rising!
I suppose I could use some buffer solution in order to adjust the pH, but the thing is I can not add any other cations or anions other then these.
Can someone help and tell me what to do? Is there an acidic buffer solution that contains some of these cations/anions?
I would appreciate very much any suggestions, thoughts, anything that could help with solving this problem...
Thnx
A.
