The pK₁^* and pK₂^* for the dissociation of carbonic acid in seawater have been determined from 0 to 45°C and S = 5 to 45. The values of pK₁^* have been determined from emf measurements for the cell: where X is the mole fraction of CO₂ in the gas. The values of pK₂^* have been determined from emf measurements on the cell: The results have been fitted to the equations: where T is the temperature in K, S is the salinity, and the standard deviations of the fits are σ = 0.0048 in lnK₁^* and σ = 0.0070 in lnK₂^*.Our new results are in good agreement at S = 35 (±0.002 in pK₁^*and ±0.005 in pK₂^*) from 0 to 45°C with the earlier results of Goyet and Poisson (1989). Since our measurements are more precise than the earlier measurements due to the use of the Pt, H₂|AgCl, Ag electrode system, we feel that our equations should be used to calculate the components of the carbonate system in seawater.  相似文献   

The effect of ionic interactions on the oxidation of metals in natural waters     

Frank J Millero 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1985,49(2):547-553

The effect of ionic interactions of the major components of natural waters on the oxidation of Cu(I) and Fe(II) has been examined. The various ion pairs of these metals have been shown to have different rates of oxidation. For Fe(II), the chloride and sulfate ion pairs are not easily oxidized. The measured decrease in the rate constant at a fixed pH in chloride and sulfate solutions agrees very well with the values predicted. The effect of pH (6 to 8) on the oxidation of Fe(II) in water and seawater have been shown to follow the rate equation where k₁ and k₂ are the pseudo first order rate constants, β₁ and β₂ are the hydrolysis constants for Fe(OH)⁺ and Fe(OH)⁰. The value of α_FE is the fraction of free Fe²⁺. The value of k₁ (2.0 ±0.5 min^?1) in water and seawater are similar within experimental error. The value of k₂ (1.2 × 10⁵ min^?1) in seawater is 28% of its value in water in reasonable agreement with predictions using an ion pairing model.For the oxidation of Cu(I) a rate equation of the form was found where k₀ (14.1 sec^?1) and k₁ (3.9 sec^?1) are the pseudo first order rate constants for the oxidation of Cu⁺ and CuCl⁰, β₁ is the formation constant for CuCl⁰ and α_Cu is the fraction of free Cu⁺. Thus, unlike the results for Fe(II), Cu(I) chloride complexes have measurable rates of oxidation.  相似文献   

Use of Pitzer's equations to determine the media effect on the formation of lead chloro complexes     

Frank.J. Millero  Robert H. Byrne 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(5):1145-1150

The spectrophotometric measurements of chloro complexes of lead in aqueous HCl, NaCl, MgCl₂ and CaCl₂ solutions at 25°C have been analyzed using Pitzer's specific interaction equations. Parameters for activity coefficients of the complexes PbCl⁺, PbCl₂⁰ and PbCl₃^? have been determined for the various media. Values of $\text{K}{}_1\text{= 30.0 ± 0.6}$, $\text{K}{}_2\text{= 106.7 ± 2.1}$ and $\text{K}{}_3\text{= 73.0 ± 1.5}$ were obtained for the cumulative formation constants. [$\text{Pb}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}\text{+ nCl}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{→ PbCl}{}_{\mathrm{n}}{}^{\mathrm{2?n}}\text{)}$]. These values are in reasonable agreement with literature data. The Pitzer parameters for the PbCl ion pairs in various media were used to calculate the speciation of Pb²⁺ in an artificial seawater solution.  相似文献   

Adsorption and Desorption of Phosphate on Calcite and Aragonite in Seawater   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Frank Millero  Fen Huang  Xiaorong Zhu  Xuewu Liu  Jia-Zhong Zhang 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2001,7(1):33-56

The adsorption and desorption of phosphate on calcite and aragonite were investigated as a function of temperature (5–45 °C)and salinity (0–40) in seawater pre-equilibrated with CaCO₃. An increase in temperature increased the equilibrium adsorption; whereas an increase in salinity decreased the adsorption. Adsorption measurements made in NaCl were lower than the results in seawater. The higher values in seawater were due to the presence of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions. The increase was 5 times greater for Ca²⁺ than Mg²⁺. The effects ofCa²⁺ and Mg²⁺ are diminished with the addition of SO₄ ^2- apparently due to the formation of MgSO₄ and CaSO₄ complexes in solution and/or SO₄ ^2- adsorption on the surface of CaCO₃. The adsorbed Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ on CaCO₃ (at carbonate sites) may act as bridges to PO₄ ^3- ions. The bridging effect of Ca²⁺is greater than Mg²⁺ apparently due to the stronger interactions of Ca²⁺ with PO₄ ^3-.The apparent effect of salinity on the adsorption of PO₄ was largely due to changes in the concentration of HCO₃ ^- in the solutions. An increase in the concentration of HCO₃ ^- caused the adsorption of phosphate to decrease, especially at low salinities. The adsorption at the same level of HCO₃ ^- (2 mM) was nearly independent of salinity. All of the adsorption measurements were modeled empirically using a Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm[ [PO₄]_ad = K_mC_m[PO₄]_T/(1 +K_m [PO₄]_T) , ]where [PO₄]_ad and [PO₄]_T are the adsorbed and total dissolved phosphate concentrations, respectively. The values of C_m (the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity, (mol/g) and K_m (the adsorption equilibrium constant, g/(mol) over the entire temperature (t, °C) and salinity (S) range were fitted to[ C_m = 17.067 + 0.1707t - 0.4693S + 0.0082S² ( = 0.7) ][ ln K_m = - 2.412 + 0.0165t - 0.0004St - 0.0008S² ( = 0.1) ]These empirical equations reproduce all of our measurements of[PO₄]_ad up to 14 mol/g and within ±0.7 mol/g.The kinetic data showed that the phosphate uptake on carbonate minerals appears to be a multi-step process. Both the adsorption and desorption were quite fast in the first stage (less than 30 min) followed by a much slower process (lasting more than 1 week). Our results indicate that within 24 hours aragonite has a higher sorption capacity than calcite. The differences between calcite and aragonite become smaller with time. Consequently, the mineral composition of the sediments may affect the short-term phosphate adsorption and desorption on calcium carbonate. Up to 80 % of the adsorbed phosphate is released from calcium carbonate over one day. The amount of PO₄ left on the CaCO₃ is close to the equilibrium adsorption. The release of PO₄ from calcite is faster than from aragonite. Measurements with Florida Bay sediments produced results between those for calcite and aragonite. Our results indicate that the calcium carbonate can be both a sink and source of phosphate in natural waters.  相似文献   

The Equation of State of Lakes     

Frank J Millero 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2000,6(1):1-17

In recent years, a number of workers have studied the stability of deep lakes such as Lake Tanganyika, Lake Baikal and Lake Malawi. In this paper, the methods that can be used to determine the effect that the components of lakes have on the equation of state are examined. The PVT properties of Lakes have been determined by using apparent molal volume data for the major ionic components of the lake. The estimated PVT properties (densities, expansibility and compressibilities) of the lakes are found to be in good agreement with the PVT properties (P) of seawater diluted to the same salinity. This is similar to earlier work that showed that the PVT properties of rivers and estuarine waters could also be estimated from the properties of seawater.The measured densities of Lake Tanganyika were found to be in good agreement (± 2 × 10^-6 g cm^-3) with the values estimated from partial molal properties and the values of seawater at the same total salinity (S_T = 0.568). The increase in the densities of Lake Tanganyika waters increased due to changes in the composition of the waters. The measured increase in the measured density (45 × 10^-6 g cm^-3) is in good agreement (46 × 10^-6 g cm^-3) with the values calculated for the increase in Na⁺, HCO₃ ^-, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Si(OH)₄.Methods are described that can be used to determine the conductivity salinity of lakes using the equations developed for seawater. By combining these relationships with apparent molal volume data, one can relate the PVT properties of the lake to those of seawater.  相似文献   

Oxidation of copper(I) in seawater at nanomolar levels     

M. Gonzlez-Dvila  J.M. Santana-Casiano  A.G. Gonzlez  N. Prez  F.J. Millero 《Marine Chemistry》2009,115(1-2):118-124

The oxidation and reduction of nanomolar levels of copper in air-saturated seawater and NaCl solutions has been measured as a function of pH (7.17–8.49), temperature (5–35 °C) and ionic strength (0.1–0.7 M). The oxidation rates were fitted to an equation valid at different pH and ionic strength conditions in sodium chloride and seawater solutions:The reduction of Cu(II) was studied in both media for different initial concentrations of copper(II). When the initial Cu(II) concentration was 200 nM, the copper(I) productions were 20% and 9% for NaCl and seawater, respectively. The effect of speciation of copper(I) reduced from Cu(II) on the rates was studied. The Cu(I) speciation is dominated by the CuCl₂⁻ species. On the other hand, the neutral chloride CuCl species dominates the Cu(I) oxidation in the range of 0.1 M to 0.7 M chloride concentrations.  相似文献

Dissociation constants of protonated cysteine species in seawater media     

Virender K. Sharma  Aurelie Moulin  Frank J. Millero  Concetta De Stefano 《Marine Chemistry》2006,99(1-4):52

The dissociation constants (pK₁, pK₂ and pK₃) for cysteine have been measured in seawater as a function of temperature (5 to 45 °C) and salinity (S = 5 to 35). The seawater values were lower than the values in NaCl at the same ionic strength. In an attempt to understand these differences, we have made measurements of the constants in Na–Mg–Cl solutions at 25 °C. The measured values have been compared to those calculated from the Pitzer ionic interaction model. The lower values of pK₃ in the Na–Mg–Cl solutions have been attributed to the formation of Mg²⁺ complexes with Cys²⁻ anionsThe stability constants have been fitted toafter corrections are made for the interaction of Mg²⁺ with H⁺.The pK₁ seawater measurements indicate that H₃Cys⁺ interacts with SO₄²⁻. The Pitzer parameters β⁰(H₃CysSO₄), β¹(H₃CysSO₄) and C(H₃CysSO₄) have been determined for this interaction. The formation of CaCys as well as MgCys are needed to account for the values of pK₂ and pK₃ in seawater.The consideration of the formation of MgCys and CaCys in seawater yields model calculated values of pK₁, pK₂ and pK₃ that agree with the measured values to within the experimental error of the measurements. This study shows that it is important to consider all of the ionic interactions in natural waters when examining the dissociation of organic acids.  相似文献   

The activity coefficients of Fe(III) hydroxide complexes in NaCl and NaClO₄ solutions     

Frank J. Millero  Denis Pierrot 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2007,71(20):4825-4833

The osmotic coefficients of FeCl₃ at 25 °C from 0.15 to 1.7 m [Rumyantsev et al., Z. Phys. Chem., 218, 1089-1127, 2004] have been used to determine the Pitzer parameters (β⁽⁰⁾, β⁽¹⁾ and C^?) for FeCl₃. Since the differences in the Pitzer coefficients of rare earths in NaCl and NaClO₄ are small, the values of Fe(ClO₄)₃ have been estimated using the differences between La(ClO₄)₃ and LaCl₃. The Pitzer coefficients for FeCl₃ combined with enthalpy and heat capacity data for the rare earths can be used to estimate the activity coefficients of Fe³⁺ in NaCl over a wide range of temperatures (0 to 50 °C) and ionic strength (0 to 6 m).The activity coefficients of Fe³⁺ in NaCl and NaClO₄ solutions have been used to determine the activity coefficients of Fe(OH)²⁺ in these solutions from the measured first hydrolysis constants of Fe³⁺ [Byrne et al., Mar. Chem., 97, 34-48, 2005]. The activity coefficients of , Fe(OH)₃ and from 0 to 50 °C have also been determined from the solubility measurements of Fe(III) in NaCl solutions [Liu and Millero, Geochim. Cosmochim Acta, 63, 3487-3497, 1999]. These activity coefficients have been fitted to the Pitzer equations. These results can be used to estimate the speciation of Fe(III) with OH⁻ in natural waters with high concentrations of NaCl from 0 to 50 °C.  相似文献   

Chromium(VI) reduction by sulphur(IV) in aqueous solutions     

Maurizio Pettine  Daniele Tonnina  Frank J. Millero 《Marine Chemistry》2006,99(1-4):31

The rates of the reduction of Cr(VI) with S(IV) were measured in deaerated NaCl solution as a function of pH, temperature and ionic strength. The rates of the reaction were found to be first order with respect to Cr(VI) and second order with respect to S(IV), in agreement with previous results obtained at concentrations two order higher than the present study. The reaction also showed a first-order dependence of the rates on the concentration of the proton and a small influence of temperature with an apparent energy of activation ΔH_app of 22.8 ± 3.4 kJ/mol. The rates were independent of ionic strength from 0.01 to 1 M. The rate of Cr(VI) reduction is described by the general expression
