Metal flux and dynamic speciation at (bio)interfaces. Part III: MHEDYN, a general code for metal flux computation; application to simple and fulvic complexants.

TL;DR: These papers describe the dynamic contribution of the various types of sites for fulvic and aggregate Cu(II) complexes for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competitive ligand exchange/adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (CLE/AdCSV) for kinetic studies of nickel speciation in aqueous environmental samples containing heterogeneous, macromolecular, organic complexants

TL;DR: In this paper, the competitive ligand exchange/adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (CLE/AdCSV) was applied to the kinetic speciation of nickel in aqueous environmental samples containing heterogeneous, macromolecular, organic complexants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steady-state DGT fluxes of nanoparticulate metal complexes

TL;DR: For a fully labile complex system, the diffusive gradients in thin film (DGT) metal flux approaches the fairly simple limit defined by the joint diffusion of the free metal ion and the complex species in the gel layer Natural soft nanoparticulate complexes such as those with humics and fulvics, generally enter the DGT gel phase and some of them may even be adsorbed by the gel matrix as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal variation in the composition of aquatic organic matter in some Nova Scotian brownwaters: a nuclear magnetic resonance approach

TL;DR: Using a novel concentration technique (reverse osmosis and freeze-drying) as well as a standard analytical technique little used with limnological samples (solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance), the authors studied the chemical structure of aquatic organic matter from four closely located freshwater sites in Nova Scotia.

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.
