Polymeric Amines as Ligands. Polyethyleneimines as Ligands in First and Second Coordination Sphere

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of first and second sphere complexation on polymeric amines are discussed and some possible applications are mentioned, as well as their effects on metal-metal interactions.

Anaerobic treatment of Phthalates : microbiological and technological aspects

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that terephthalate as sole substrate could be degraded at high-rates and the wastewater could be treated at high volumetric removal rates and short hydraulic retention times and the energetic efficiency for growth was found to be significantly smaller when compared to growth on benzoate, suggesting that an energetic inefficiency prevails in the degradation pathway of the phthalate isomers.

Voltammetry of heterogeneous labile metal–macromolecular systems for any ligand-to-metal ratio: Part II. Obtaining the binding curve from the normalised limiting currents

TL;DR: It is shown that an accurate binding curve can be obtained by combining the meaningful affinity windows of several titration experiments with different amounts of ligand, providing some criteria to succeed in this analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformations of metal species in ageing humic hydrocolloids studied by competitive ligand and metal exchange.

TL;DR: The conditional copper exchange constants Kex obtained from the exchange between Cu(II) ions and available metal species and availableMetal species exhibited a strong decrease during sample storage, indicating considerable non-equilibria complexation of these metal ions in the original bogwaters studied on-site.

Influence of organic matter from urban effluents on trace metal speciation and bioavailability in river under strong urban pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatio-temporal variability of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in terms of both quality and quantity from upstream to downstream the Parisian conurbation was also investigated.

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.
