An electrochemical sequential injection method to investigate the adsorption of selenite on Fe(III) polyhydroxy cations intercalated vermiculite

TL;DR: A sequential injection - square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method for determination of Se(IV) at a gold working electrode was developed and adsorption onto vermiculite intercalated with Fe(III) polyhydroxy cations was investigated, finding its capacity was higher than that found for several other iron oxides, but lower than that obtained for oxide/hydroxide-based Fe( III) nanoparticles.

Kinetic Speciation of Ni(II) in Model Solutions and Freshwaters: Competition of Al(III) and Fe(III)

TL;DR: In this paper, the competitive binding of Ni(II) by Al(III) and Fe(III), in model aqueous solutions and freshwaters, was investigated, and the results showed that Ni(2)-humate complexes were more labile in the presence of the mixture of Al(3) or Fe(3).
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative study of polyelectrolyte effects and conformational changes in several purine and pyrimidine homopolyribonucleotides

TL;DR: A comparative study of the acid-base and copper(II) complex-forming properties of homopolyribonugleotides polyuridylic acid, polyinosinic acid and polycytidylic acids has been carried out in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of weak organic acids on the size distribution and size-dependent metal binding of humic substances as studied by flow field-flow fractionation

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of low molecular weight weak organic acids, which are commonly used as pHbuffering agents, on the hydrodynamic size of purified Aldrich humic acid (PAHA) at pH 7 were investigated by means of flow field flow fractionation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of fluorescence spectroscopy and voltammetry for the analysis of metal-organic matter interactions in the New Caledonia lagoon

TL;DR: In this article, fluorescence, polarographic and potentiometric analysis of sea water from the New Caledonia lagoon (located south of Noumea) allowed the determination of the specific properties of the dissolved and particulate phases of organic matter (OM)-metal complexes according to various regions of the lagoon.

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.
