Qualitative interpretation of physico-chemical and isotopic parameters in the Krka River (Croatia) assessed by multivariate statistical analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, multivariate statistical analyses were applied on the measured physico-chemical (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca, O2, alkalinity, temperature, pH, SAS, DOC and DIC) and isotopic parameters (δ13C and δ18O) to estimate and distinguish anthropogenic from natural influences to the water system of the Krka River.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the ratio copper(II) to ligand concentrations and the nature of entering and leaving ligands on the lability of copper(II) complexes

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the ratio Cu : L on the lability of copper(II) complexes with simple ligands of different thermodynamic stabilities (L=EDTA, NTA, cysteine, proline or glycine) was investigated.

Sorption Kinetics and Transformation of DDT in Sediment

TL;DR: In this paper, the sorption kinetics of DDT in sediment were investigated under similar experimental conditions employed in corresponding toxicity studies for bentic organisms, and it was found that the extractable amount of DDTs decreased with increasing contact time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature differences of fulvic acid fractions induced by extracted sequence as explanatory factors for binding characteristics of Cu2.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the contents of carboxyl and phenolic groups decrease with increasing extractions along with an opposite trend for the content of nitrogen-containing groups.

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.

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.
