Abstract

The complexation of an aquatic fulvic acid, FA, with Sr(2+) and Eu(3+) was studied at 0.10 and O1.O1M NaClO(4) using trace levels of metal ([Sr(2+)] = 10(-9)M and [Eu(3+)] = 10(-11)M) and a constant FA concentration (0.12 g/l) by an ultrafiltration technique (UF) and an ion exchange distribution method (IEDS). The overall complex formation function, beta(OV) for the two metals was calculated and its dependence on pH, ionic strength and method was investigated. The absolute value of log beta(OV), the pH dependence and the influence of the ionic strength on the complexation differed depending on the metal ion and experimental technique employed. By considering the functional group heterogeneity of the FA molecule, it was possible to predict the most predominantly bound site (keto-enol) and resolve the complex formation function for this site and EU(3+) (IEDS: 9.43 +/- 0.29 l/eq at 0.10M and 10.58 +/- 0.72 l/eq at 0.01M; UF: 7.19 +/- 1.51 l/eq at 0.01M and 6.88 +/- 0.91 l/eq at 0.01M). The results are discussed in the light of possible intrinsic problems of the two experimental methods.
