Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This study reports the measurement of stability constants for the interaction of As (V and III) and Sb (V and III) with humic substances extracted from aquatic sediments of the Sundarban mangrove forest ecosystem. It was observed that As and Sb formed a slightly more stable association with fulvic acid (FA) than with its humic acid (HA) counterpart. Quenching of fluorescence at increasing As (III and V) or Sb (III and V): FA or HA ratios was obtained that ideally correspond to a 1:1 complexation model. Quite strong complexation of As and Sb by FA and HA occurs at neutral pH, indicating that HA and FA probably markedly affect the mobility of As and Sb in the mangrove environment. |
