The pH dependence is related to the its ionization state (the more deprotonated, the more soluble). Most compounds will have an increased solubility with temperature.
I decide to make chitosan beads by adding chitosan solution 2% to sodium triphosphate solution 2% And after a minute, I remove the beads and freeze dry them and finally powder them But I do not know what the conditions should be for the formation of these beads. What should be the pH of chitosan solution and sodium triphosphate solution?
Do we need to increase pH the solution of chitosan and tripolyphosphate solution for the formation of chitosan beads?
