Mercury phase speciation in the surface waters of three Texas estuaries: Importance of colloidal forms

TL;DR: In this article, surface-water samples were collected from Galveston Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, Sabine Lake, and Laguna Madre and analyzed for Hg in the 1 kDa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of humic substances on the toxic effects of cadmium and zinc to the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata.

TL;DR: It is suggested that HA reduced Cd and Zn toxicity in two different ways: (1) HA decrease the amount of free metal ions and (2) FA has a lower ability to adsorb on cell membranes at pH>7.

Biophysico-Chemical Processes of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a multi-scale assessment of the physicochemical-biological interactions between metal and metamaterials in Soil Environments, including the role of soil-root-Microbe interactions.
Book ChapterDOI

Biosorption Processes for Heavy Metal Removal

TL;DR: The chapter deals with quantitative modeling of the key phenomena, and presents the biosorption equilibrium models, which are the basis for modeling of dynamic processes, e.g., in columns, that are of greater industrial relevance and are described in detail.

WHAM—a chemical equilibrium model and computer code for waters, sediments, and soils incorporating a discrete site/electrostatic model of ion-binding by humic substances

E. Tipping
TL;DR: The WHAM (Windermere Humic Aqueous Model) as mentioned in this paper is a simple inorganic speciation code for aqueous solutions that combines Humic Ion-Binding Model V with a simple, inorganic inorganic specciation code.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion binding to natural organic matter : competition, heterogeneity, stoichiometry and thermodynamic consistency

TL;DR: The NICCA-Donnan model as mentioned in this paper is a semi-empirical model that is similar to the NICA-donnan model except that it introduces an additional degree of scaling that ensures thermodynamic consistency and allows for variable stoichiometry of binding, which implicitly accounts for the large degree of chemical heterogeneity of humic particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

A unifying model of cation binding by humic substances

TL;DR: Model V describes the binding of ions by humic substances in terms of complexation at discrete sites, modified by electrostatic attraction and/or repulsion, and also takes account of nonspecific binding due to counterion accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Generalized Description of Aquatic Colloidal Interactions: The Three-colloidal Component Approach

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical properties of the different groups of colloids are described, and the role of each colloid class is discussed with respect to homoaggregation (aggregation within a given colloid) and hetero-aggregation among different colloid types.
