Abstract: By means of acid-base potentiometric titration and the advanced BEST computer program developed by Martell et al., the deprotonation constants of four inhibitors[Aminotrimethylenephosphoinic acid(ATMP), 2-phosphino-tutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid(PBTCA), polyacrylic acid(PAA, Mw=2000), poly(maleic, acrylic) acid(PMAAA, Mw=3000)], and the stability constants of the complexes of these inhibitors with Ca2+ have been determined. And the distribution curves of ATMP at different pH values in aqueous solutions have also been given out. The result of this study can be applied to explaining the inhibition mechanism.

Key words: Stability constants, BEST computer program, Inhibition mechanism
