Abstract:Elucidation of the chemical speciation of trace metals ~n the natural aquatic environment will lead to a better understanding of thei~ distribution and ecological effects. One approach which can provide useful information about the chemical reactivity of metal ions is the measurement of their activity. Phase equilibrium methods are required and liquid-liquid partition equilib"da are applicable. This study 2 utilized model systems to demonstrate this applicability.The partitioning of copper(II) ions as a chelat… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
