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.

Iron speciation at the riverbank surface in wetland and potential impact on the mobility of trace metals

TL;DR: The results presented here demonstrate that the ferric deposits trap metals on a seasonal basis and are therefore a key factor in the mobilization of metals during riverbank erosion by river flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

The behavior of nickel isotopes at the biogeochemical interface between ultramafic soils and Ni accumulator species

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of Ni hyperaccumulator and Ni accumulator plants as well as topsoils were sampled on the Barro Alto and Niquelândia ultramafic complexes (Goias State, Brazil).
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotating disk electrode voltammetry/anodic stripping voltammetry for chemical speciation of lead and cadmium in freshwaters containing dissolved organic matter

TL;DR: Rotating disk electrode voltammetry (RDEV) was used to estimate dissociation rate constants and diffusion coefficients, and pseudopolarograms indicated the identity of the metal complexes undergoing electrode reductions at the corresponding plateaus of the pseudopeolarograms in a number of model solutions containing Cd or Pb and known amounts of fulvic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling of the cation binding properties of fulvic acids: an extension of the RANDOM algorithm to include nitrogen and sulphur donor sites

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the original RANDOM algorithm was proposed to all types of fulvic acid including both pedogenic and aquagenic, which is motivated by the authors' interest in modelling metal speciation in seawater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation and stability of mixed Mg2+/Ca2+/phytate species in synthetic seawater media: Consequences on ligand speciation

TL;DR: The results of a potentiometric investigation (by ISE-H+, glass electrode) on the speciation of phytate ion (Phy12−) in an ionic medium simulating the major components (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl− and SO42−) of natural seawater, at different salinities and t = 25°C, are reported in this article.
