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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of humic acid adsorption on pH-dependent surface charging and aggregation of magnetite nanoparticles

TL;DR: The pH-dependent adsorption of humic acid (HA) on magnetite and its effect on the surface charging and the aggregation of oxide particles were investigated and nanoparticles are stabilized in a way of combined steric and electrostatic effects.

Structural characterisation of organic matter in fine tropospheric aerosol by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the fingerprinting technique of derivatization pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to show that the organic carbon in tropospheric aerosol plays animportant, yet undetermined role in atmospheric processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analytical methodology for the determination of aluminium fractions in natural fresh waters (Technical Report)

TL;DR: In this paper, Westmoreland et al. proposed a committee for the first time, which consisted of a chairperson, a secretary, and a number of members, including the following:
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilization of Zinc and Cadmium by Montmorillonite Compounds: Effects of Aging and Subsequent Acidification

TL;DR: The 3rd Inter-national Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry (ISEG) as mentioned in this paper was the first one to address the problem of contaminated soil and its implications on environmental geochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the zinc-binding properties of glutathione by differential pulse polarography and multivariate curve resolution

TL;DR: In this article, the complexation between Zn 2+ and glutathione (GSH), in borate buffer, is studied by Differential Pulse Polarography (DPP) data obtained at pH 8.5 from a titration of Zn2+ by GSH, i.e. at different GSH-to-Zn 2+) concentration ratios have been analyzed by a recently proposed multivariate curve resolution method.

Biosorption by Marine Algae

TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme of such a biosorption process involving adsorption and desorption columns is presented in Figure 1, which leads to a zero discharge technology.
