Influences of Natural Colloids on Metal Bioavailability to Two Marine Bivalves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the bioavailability of colloid-bound metals [Cd, Cr(III), and Zn] to two marine bivalves (mussel Perna viridis and clam Ruditapes philippinarum) from subtropical and tropical waters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of sediment acidification on the bioaccumulation of metals in Ruditapes philippinarum

TL;DR: Lower pH increases metal solubility and reduces or invert the metal sorption of metals to sediments, hence pH is an important factor controlling the mobility of these metals within sediments and their subsequent bioaccumulation within biota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrates as trihalomethanes precursors. Influence of pH and the presence of Cl(-) and Br(-) on trihalomethane formation potential.

TL;DR: The results obtained show that saccharides widely present in natural waters can give rise to significant THM concentrations in the disinfection process by chlorine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosorption of lanthanum and cerium from aqueous solutions by grapefruit peel: equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the biosorption characteristics of lanthanum and cerium ions from aqueous solution by grapefruit peel as a function of pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of adsorption in stripping chronopotentiometric metal speciation analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of induced metal ion adsorption on speciation analysis by stripping chronopotentiometry (SCP) are examined and compared with those observed in stripping voltammetry (SV).

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.
