Ions, in natural waters

Influence of other ions. Two examples are considered to illustrate the importance of other ions in natural waters on Mn(II) oxidation kinetics. In the first example the ionic composition of the solution is typical of that found in freshwaters and in the second example the composition of the solution is typical of that found in the low salinity region of an estuary (I -0.1M). The composition of these solutions is given in Davies (26). The calculated oxidation half-lives based on the model given above for these systems are shown in Table VI.

The high-energy electron beam process is pH independent in the range of 3 to 11 therefore, any changes in pH over time will not adversely affect the treatment efficiency. If necessary, a lowering of pH can be done as a pretreatment to remove alkalinity, which may contain OH scavengers such as bicar-bonic and carbonic ions in natural waters. Because water quality is important, pretreatment may decrease operation cost. 

Hydrolysis reactions are common to all actinide ions in nearneutral solutions, and take place either in parallel with or predominantly over other complexation reactions. In connection with the migration studies of actinide ions in natural waters, attention recently has been focused on hydrolysis reactions of actinides since these reactions are important in determining the solubility of the actinide hydroxide or oxide. Although numerous studies have been made (1-4) to determine stability constants of various hydrolysis products, much of the necessary data are still lacking. The acquisition of these data and further improvement or verification of the existing data is desirable.

The lA method using Equation (13) for major ions in natural water compares well with other more precise methods (see below) up to an ionic strength of seawater (0.7) but not much higher.

It is difficult to estimate what the rate of the metal ion catalyzed oxidative deamination reaction of amino acids would be in natural waters. Hamilton and Revesz (30) found that the rate of oxidation of alanine in the presence of pyridoxal and manganese ions was inhibited by EDTA. Since metal ions in natural waters can be complexed by a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, their effectiveness in catalyzing the oxidative deamination of amino acids may be reduced. Also, the fraction of dissolved amino acids which would be complexed by metal ions at the pH and metal ion and amino acid concentrations found in natural waters must be considered. At neutral pH, where the amino group of the amino acid is protonated, the fraction of the amino acid that would be in the form of the metal ion complex depends upon the equilibrium constant for the formation of the complex and the pK of the amino proton of the amino acid. The reactions for the formation of the Cu2+-alanine complexes can be written as...

Early applications were related to industrial processes and focussed on the sampling of metal ions in natural waters [96], the determination of phenylalanine using in-line ion-exchange [97], modelling of heavy metal adsorption [98], use of pulsed flows for nickel removal from acidic solutions [99], investigation of properties inherent to fluidised beds and transport reactors [100], and treatment of radioactive wastes [101]. The characteristics, limitations and applications of fluidised beads are provided elsewhere [102—104],...
