- Abstract:
- Humic substances (HS) represent a key component of natural aquatic and terrestrial systems. A number of approaches were developed for the investigation of interactions of HS. Dynamic conductivity measurements allowed assessment of aqueous interactions between HS and Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II). A Co-wire electrode was found to be useful for the determination of stability constants of metal-HS-P complexes. {esc}p31{esc}sP-NMR was utilized to evaluate the degree of P mobility within a humic matrix. Luminescence sensitization and anisotropy experiments demonstrated the dependence of HS type on the energy transfer and anisotropy of Tb(III) in solution. A novel method for the determination of stability constants between HS-UO{esc}b2{esc}p2{esc}s was also developed. In all cases the type of HS influenced the interactions being observed. All of the methods applied were found to be very effective at probing HS interactions.
