Manganese aqueous-phase concentrations

It was assumed that there were no limitations on the rates of oxidation due to mass transport as discussed in detail by Schwartz and Freiberg (1981), this assumption is justified except for very large droplets (> 10 yarn) and high pollutant concentrations (e.g., 03 at 0.5 ppm) where the aqueous-phase reactions are very fast. It was also assumed that the aqueous phase present in the atmosphere was a cloud with a liquid water content (V) of 1 g m-3 of air. As seen earlier, the latter factor is important in the aqueous-phase rates of conversion of S(IV) thus the actual concentrations of iron, manganese, and so on in the liquid phase and hence the kinetics of the reactions depend on the liquid water content. 

It can be seen from Figure 11 that, by the appropriate choice of the equilibrium concentration of chloride ion in the aqueous phase, separations between certain pairs of metals can be made, for example between copper(II) and manganese(II) at a chloride concentration of 3.0 M, and between cobalt(II) and nickel(II) at a chloride concentration of 6 to 8 M. Furthermore, the metals can be stripped from the loaded organic phase by being contacted with an appropriate volume of water so that the equilibrium concentration of chloride ion in the strip liquor lies on the lower portion of the extraction curve, where substantial aquation of the extracted chlorometallate occurs... 

Ion-association adsorption of water-soluble porphyrin was studied using time-resolved TIR fluorometry. Interfacial adsorption of anionic or cationic surfactants succeeded in attracting the oppositely charged porphyrin from the mixture of cationic and anionic porphyrins in the aqueous phase, tetrakis(sulphonatophenyl)porphyiin (TPPS) adsorbed with the hexadecyltrimethylammonium ion and tetrakis(iV-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP) with the hexadecanesulfonate [44], In addition, it was found that the application of an external electric field across the interface enabled to control the interfacial ion-association adsorption of ionic porphyrin [45]. Furthermore, TIR Raman microspectroscopy revealed the interfacial concentration of meso-tetrakis(A -methylpyridyl) porphyrinato-manganese(III) (Mn(tmpyp) +) adsorbed with dihexadecyl hydrogenphosphate (DHP) at the toluene/water interface and also revealed that the orientation of the tilt angle was 65° from the interface normal [46]. 

Environmental samples such as soils consist of multiple solid phases, which can be crystalline, poorly crystalline (or amorphous), or a mixture of the two. The solid phases may be coated in part by other crystalline or amorphous phases (e.g., hydrous aluminum, iron, or manganese oxides), natural organic matter, fungi, or microbial biofilms, and are always in contact with an aqueous solution and/or a gas, as discussed above. The contaminant or pollutant species in environmental samples are often at low concentrations (e.g., parts per million, ppm, or parts per billion, ppb), and are...
