Electrochemical investigations of the effect of N-substituted aminosulfonic acids with a piperazinic ring pH buffers on heavy metal processes which may have implications on speciation studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (PIPES), N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine N′- 2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES), and N-hydroxethylpernazine-n′-2 -hydroxypropanesulfonic acyclic acid(HEPPSO) on the redox processes of cadmium, lead and zinc was investigated by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV
Journal ArticleDOI

Preliminary toxicity assessment of water after treatment with UV-irradiation and UVC/H2O2

TL;DR: Toxicity was not apparent for both the Microtox procedure and cytotoxicity analyses for the UVC-irradiated and UVC/H2O2-treated NOM samples, while UVA- and UVB-IRradiated water samples were non-toxic to D. carinata.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fe, Al and Si species and organic matter leached off a ferrallitic and podzolic soil system from Central Amazonia

TL;DR: In this article, the geochemistry of soil formation in central Amazonia, Brazil, was investigated by studying the waters draining off small podzolic, ferrallitic or mixed catchment areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-method Study on Aquatic Humic Substances from the "Rio Negro" - Amazonas State/Brazil: Emphasis on Molecular-Size Classification of their Metal Contents

TL;DR: The aquatic humic substances investigated in this paper were conventionally isolated from Rio Negro waters - Amazonas State/Brazil by means of the collector XAD 8 as mentioned in this paper, using a five-stage tangential-flow ultrafiltration (UF) device.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of a polarographic method to determine copper, nickel and zinc constants of complexation by extracellular polymers extracted from activated sludge

TL;DR: In this article, the constants of complexation of extracellular polymers (ECPs) extracted from sludges for three metals, Cu, Ni and Zn at pH 7, were determined using a polarographic method (stripping mercury dropping electrode mode).

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.
