Abstract
This work provides new information on the dissociation kinetics of metal-fulvic acid (FA) complexes. Diffusive gradients in thin-film (DGT) devices deployed in solutions containing metals and 30 mg L(-1) Suwannee River FA at pH 5 and 7, at two different metal-to-ligand ratios, were used to estimate an apparent diffusive boundary layer (ADBL) thickness at the gel-solution interface. The discrepancy between the ADBL thickness measured for metals that are known to dissociate from complexes quickly (e.g., Cd) and that of other trace metals was exploited to calculate the rate of complex dissociation. When the ADBL thickness is plotted for a suite of metals, a "kinetic signature" is created. There was a clear kinetic signature at pH 7, with substantial kinetic limitation for Cu, Pb, and Ni and none for Cd, Co, and Mn (i.e., Cu-, Pb-, and Ni-FA complexes dissociated more slowly). At pH 5, the kinetic signature was less distinct, due in part to slow association kinetics of Mn, and possibly Cd and Co, with the resin. The good sensitivity of the method to small changes in dissociation kinetics was able to show that the dissociation of most metal-FA complexes is sufficiently fast to not limit the DGT measurement.
