Abstract

A Donnan-type model for nonspecific binding of electrolyte ions has been combined with the non-ideal competitive adsorption (NICA) model for specific binding to produce a model for ion binding to humic substances. The model considers site heterogeneity, non-ideality, multicomponent competition, and electrostatic interactions. The NICA-Donnan model was fitted to data for H, Ca, Cd, Cu, and Pb binding by a purified peat humic acid. The model fits were good and covered a wide range of pH and free metal concentrations. The parameters from these single metal data sets were then used to predict the competitive effect of Ca on Cd and Cu binding at various pHs. These predictions agreed well with the experimental data although there were some small but systematic differences. The new NICA-Donnan model also predicted reasonably well the increase in Cd and Cu binding on changing from a 0.1 M KNO 3 background electrolyte to 0.01 M KNO 3 . A shortcoming of the model is that in some cases it significantly underestimated the H + /M 2+ exchange ratio, especially at high pH and for Cu binding.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
