A two-phase titration procedure for the study of metal chelate equilibria is presented. Equations expressing the relationship between the apparent mean complexity constant in the two-phase system, the mean complexity constant in a water phase, and the distribution coefficients of the uncharged species are derived. The pH-value of 10% extraction of a metal ion is deterinined with good approxiination by this method. The error introduced by the simplified theoretical treatment is discussed and the predictions are confirmed by independent distribution experiments, employing lanthanum-140 as tracer. (auth)
