The Carbonate System in Natural WatersBustos-Serrano, Hector 14 December 2010 (has links)
Reliable measurements of the thermodynamics of the carbonate system are needed to better understand the CO2 system in natural waters. New measurements of the carbonic acid pK1* and pK2* in seawater have been made over a wide range of temperatures (1 to 50°C) and salinities. The commonly used CO2 constants of Mehrbach et al., (1973) were limited to salinities (19 to 43) and temperatures (2 to 35°C). They cannot be used to study estuarine or fresh waters. The results of these measured pK1* and pK2* values are in good agreement with those determined using the Miami Pitzer equations (Millero and Pierrot, 1998). The results in this dissertation can be demonstrates the validity of the model that can be used to study the carbonate system in most natural waters. The so called Miami model is presently being used to examine the effect of ocean acidification on natural waters. The boric acid effect on the dissociation constants in seawater and NaCl solutions was tested. The addition of boric acid has little or no effect on pK1* values. However, the values of pK2*, decreases with the addition of small amounts of boric acid to ASW in agreement with the work of Mojica-Prieto and Millero, (2002). The addition of larger concentrations of boric acid cause the values of pK2* to increase. These effects have been attributed to the interactions of boric acid with the carbonate ion (CO32-) in seawater (Mojica-Prieto and Millero, 2002). The addition of boric acid to NaCl solutions in contrast, caused the values of pK1* and pK2* to decrease. This has been attributed to the interactions of borate ions with Mg2+ and Ca2+ in seawater. Further measurements in Na-Mg-Cl and Na-Ca-Cl solutions are needed to prove that this is the case. The boric acid effect on the carbonate constants indicate that an increase in boric acid has no affect on pK1*, but does change the values of pK2*. At low concentrations of boric acid, pK*2 decreases, and at higher concentrations it increases. These results indicate that boric acid has some ionic interactions with the carbonate ion. Similar studies in NaCl indicate that both pK1* and pK2* decrease when boric acid is added. The differences between seawater and NaCl may be related to the interactions of Mg2+ and Ca2+ with borate anions. Further studies of NaCl with additions of MgCl2 and CaCl2 are needed to examine the effects in detail. Preliminary studies on the effect of DOC on the carbonate constants are not definitive. The change of the DOC concentration from 50 to 100 µmol kg-1 has little effect on the values of pK1* and pK2*. Dilutions of seawater with artificial seawater are complicated by changes in the concentration of boric acid. Earlier studies indicated that DOC may cause the 8 mu-mol kg-1 increase in total alkalinity of seawater needed to balance the thermodynamics of the system (Millero et al., 2002). This may be partially due to the new values for the B/Cl ratio in seawater found by Lee et al., (2010) that increases the TA by ~ 6 µmol kg-1. Further studies are needed to examine the effect of humic compounds in estuarine waters on the carbonate system. Measurements of pH or pCO2 along with TA and TCO2 can be used to separate the effect of organic ligands on TA. If DOC measurements are also made, one can relate the effect to organic ligands that can accept a proton. The cruises in the Little Bahama Banks show for the first time the active precipitation of CaCO3 (Bustos-Serrano et al., 2009). This causes measured decreases of TA, TCO2 and pH and increases in pCO2 in the whitings. This is in contrast to earlier studies on the Grand Bahama Banks where no active precipitation of CaCO3 was every found (Morse et al., 2003; Millero et al., 2005). The differences appear to be due to the movement of fresh saturated seawater from the Gulf Stream into the LBB. The Gulf Stream water enters the GBB in the winter, and the precipitation occurs on the suspended sediment over the year. Observations are needed on the Grand Bahama Banks in the winter and throughout the year to prove that this is the case.

Development of a fluorescence model for the determination of constants associated with binding, quenching, and FRET efficiency and development of an immobilized FRET-peptide sensor for metal ion detectionCasciato, Shelly Lynn, 1984- 29 October 2012 (has links)
This thesis presents a modeling program to obtain equilibrium information for a fluorescent system. Determining accurate dissociation constants for equilibrium processes involving a fluorescent mechanism can prove to be quite challenging. Typically, titration curves and non-linear least squares fitting of the data using computer programs are employed to obtain such constants. However, these approaches only consider the total fluorescence signal and often ignore other energy transfer processes within the system. The current model considers the impact on fluorescence from equilibrium binding (viz., metal-ligand, ligand-substrate, etc.), quenching and resonance energy transfer. This model should provide more accurate binding constants as well as insights into other photonic processes. The equations developed for this model are discussed and are fit to experimental data from titrimetric experiments. Since the experimental data are generally in excess of the number of parameters that are needed to define the system, fitting is operated in an overdetermined mode and employs error minimization (either absolute or relative) to define goodness of fit. Examples of how changes in certain parameters affect the shape of the titrimetric curve are also presented. The detection of metal ions is very important, causing a need for the development of a metal ion sensor that provides selectivity, sensitivity, real-time in situ monitoring, and a flexible design. In order to be able to perform in situ monitoring of trace metal ions, FRET-pair labeled peptides were attached to a Tentagel[trademark] resin surface. After soaking in nonmetal and metal solutions (pH = 7.5), the resin beads gave an enhanced response in the presence of Hg²⁺ and Zn²⁺. Using a t-test, the signals of the beads that were soaked in a solution of each of these metal ions (and that of Cd²⁺) were determined to be significantly different from beads soaked in a solution without metal. However, the standard deviation between a set the beads was too large in order to differentiate a bead that was soaked in nonmetal solution versus one soaked in a metal containing solution. / text

Raman spectroscopic and potentiometric studies of acidity level and dissociation of citric acid in aqueous solutionElbagerma, Mohamed A., Alajtal, Adel I., Edwards, Howell G.M., Azimi, G.H., Verma, K.D., Scowen, Ian J. January 2015 (has links)
No / The dissociation constant is one of the most important characteristics of a pharmaceutical chemical moiety which has to be estimated with accuracy. The development of in-situ speciation methods in solutions with parallel measurements using Raman spectroscopy (molecular) and pH (macroscopic) for the identification, characterization, and quantitative determination of citric acid species in aqueous solution by numerical data treatment using a multiwavelength curve fitting program over a range of pH values is described. As a result, the first, second and third stepwise dissociation constants of citric acid have been evaluated as 3.02±0.06, 4.78±0.06 and 6.02±0.04, respectively. From these data over the pH range 2.38-6.16 an excellent agreement with literature values was achieved.

Untersuchungen zur Löslichkeit und Kristallisation von CalciumphosphonatenHussein, Rasha 24 March 2015 (has links) (PDF)
In der Industrie gibt es für Phosphonate zunehmend mehr Anwendungsgebiete. Genutzt werden sie unter anderem bei der Öl- und Erdgasgewinnung, in der Baustoffindustrie und bei der Trinkwassergewinnung. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden aufgrund ihrer Relevanz für die Phosphonate 1-Hydroxyethan-(1,1-diphosphonsäure) HEDP, Amino-tris(methylenphosphon- säure) ATMP, Ethylendiamintetra-(metylenphosphonsäure) EDTMP und Diethylentriamin-penta(methylenphosphonsäure) DTPMP untersucht.
Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Löslichkeitskonstanten von Calciumphosphonaten zu bestimmen. Die Bildung von Calciumphosphonat-Salzen wurde bei verschiedenen Bedingungen durchgeführt. Mit den gefällten und unterschiedlichen Calciumphosphonaten wurden die Löslichkeitsuntersuchungen durchgeführt. Die Gleichgewichtsproben wurden chemisch analysiert, um die Zusammensetzung dieser Verbindungen als Cax . Ly . nH2O zu ermitteln. Die Daten ermöglichten die Berechnung der Löslichkeitsprodukte der verschiedenen Calciumphosphonat-Salze.
Die für die Berechnung notwendigen Dissoziations- und Komplexbildungskonstanten wurden ebenfalls in dieser Arbeit experimentell bestimmt. Hierzu wurde die pH-Potentiometrie angewandt. Die hier ermittelten Werte stimmen gut mit den Literaturwerten überein. Für DTPMP wurden die Stabilitätskonstanten der Ca-Komplexe erstmalig bestimmt. Im Fall von ATMP und EDTMP wurden Konstanten für erweitere Dissoziations- und Komplexbildungmodelle ermittelt.

Komplexy polydentátních ligandů / Complexes of polydentate ligandsSedláčková, Simona January 2020 (has links)
Polydentate ligands are useful in many industries, mainly because of their ability to form complexes. The aim of this thesis is to study acid-base and coordination properties of polydentate ligands from the group of polyaminopolyphosphonates DTPMP and HMDTMP. The protonation constants of ligands as well as stability constants of complexes with biologically relevant ions Cu2+ , Zn2+ , Ni2+ , Mg2+ , Ca2+ , Co2+ , K+ and Na+ were determined by potentiometric titration. 31 P-NMR titration was used to determine pKa on nitrogen atoms, which could not be measured by potenciometric titration. Seven pKa for HMDTMP ligand and nine for DTPMP were obtained. The stability constants show that the HMDTMP ligand forms less stable complexes than the DTPMP ligand.

Determinação das constantes de dissociação/ionização da di-2-piridil cetona benzoilhidrazona (DPKBH) em diferentes porcentagens de etanol / Determination of dissociation constants/ionization di-2-pyridyl ketone benzoylhydrazone (DPKBH) at different percentages of ethanolGaubeur, Ivanise 30 April 1997 (has links)
A di-2-piridil cetona benzoilhidrazona (DPKBH) é um reagente solúvel em uma série de solventes orgânicos mas pouco solúvel em água. Vem sendo utilizado para a determinação de metais, (principalmente do grupo de transição) como Fe(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), entre outros e como ligante de referência para estudar o comportamento dos íons Fe(II) e Fe(III) em presença de espécies orgânicos encontrados em águas naturais. Com o objetivo de entender melhor as propriedades do DPKBH em meio de etanol, foi necessário determinar as constantes de dissociaçãolionização em diferentes porcentagens desse solvente orgânico (10, 19, 29 e 48 %). Nestas porcentagens de etanol, através de medidas absolutas de pH determinaram-se os pKs do DPKBH utilizando-se a técnica potenciométrica e em 10 e 48 % de etanol através de medidas absolutas de pH associadas às absorbâncias das espécies presentes nos equilíbrios, utilizando-se a técnica espectrofotométrica. Nas devidas porcentagens de etanol, o comportamento do eletrodo foi previamente determinado. Os valores de pK1 3,210; 3,342; 3,398 e 3,360 e de pK2 10,834; 11,013; 11,793 e 11,382 foram obtidos respectivamente para 10, 19, 29 e 48 % de etanol, utilizando-se a técnica potenciométrica. Através da técnica espectrofotométrica os valores de pK1 foram 3,257 e 3,322 e pK2 10,880 e 11,820, em 10 e 48 % de etanol, respectivamente. / The di-2-pyridyl ketone benzoylhydrazone (DPKBH) is a soluble reagent in different organic solvents but slightly soluble in water. It has been used for metal determinations, (mainly transition metals) such as for Fe (II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Cu(II) and also like a reference ligand to study the behavior of Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions in the presence of organic species found in natural waters. So as to better understand the DPKBH properties In ethanol, it was necessary to determine the dissociation/ionization constant in different percentages of ethanol (l0, 19, 29 and 48%). In these ethanol percentages, through absolute pH measurements, pKs of DPKBH could be the found by using the potentiometric technique, and in 10 and 48% of ethanol the pKs of DPKBH were determined with pH measurements associated to absorbance of the species present in the equilibria by using the spectrophotometric technique. In appropiate percentage of ethanol the behavior of the glass electrode was previously determined. The pK1 values 3.210; 3.342; 3.398 and 3.362, and pK2 10.834; 11.013; 11.793 and 11.382 were found for 10,19,29,48 % of ethanol, by using the potentiometric technique. The spectrophotometric technique led to pK1 values 3.257 and 3.322, and the pK2 ones 10.880 and 11. 820 in 10 and 48 % of ethanol respectively.
