Suitability of a detergent-sensitive electrode for the determination of the absorption of cationic detergents by fungal conidial cells

TL;DR: In this paper, simple detergent-sensitive electrodes were constructed and tested for the purpose of studying the absorption of alkyltrimethylammonium bromides by conidia of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Interactions of Pesticides and Metal Ions with Soils: Unifying Concepts

TL;DR: The physical chemistry interactions of metal ions and organic chemicals with the natural geochemical mixtures could not be understood or described quantitatively in terms of molecular-level mechanisms as mentioned in this paper, which led to an important practical limitation in soil chemistry and environment chemistry.
Book ChapterDOI

Application of FCS to the Study of Environmental Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of submicrometer sized colloids and biopolymers in the transport of trace metals and organic pollutants in waters and soils is now well documented, through covalent, electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions, a large proportion of trace compounds may be adsorbed on aquatic colloids.

A water-in-oil emulsion containing Kelex-100 for the speciation analysis of trace heavy metals in water

TL;DR: A water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion containing Kelex-100 (7-dodecenyl-8-quinolinol) and Span-80 (sorbitan monooleate, non-ionic surfactant) was ultrasonically prepared from 1.0 l−1 hydrochloric acid and a (1 + 3) mixture of toluene and n-heptane as discussed by the authors.

Analysis of Physical and Chemical Parameters for Discrimination of Water Origin in a Hydroelectric Reservoir

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical group analysis (HGA) to identify the parameters discriminating the origin of water from the Tibagi and the Primeiro de Maio River, after it has passed the mixing region.

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.
