Copper may exist in particulate, colloidal, and dissolved forms in seawater. In the absence of organic ligands, or particulate and colloidal species, carbonate and hydroxide complexes account for more than 98% of the inorganic copper in seawater [285,286]. The Cu2+ concentration can be calculated if pH, ionic strength, and the necessary stability constants are known [215,265-267]. In most natural systems, the presence of organic materials and sorptive surfaces...

Important selectivity enhancements are observed upon complexing with neutral ligands. The stability constants of the adsorbed complexes exceed the values in aqueous solution by two to three orders of magniture. Such observation may be relevant to the behaviour of transition elements in the environment in that stability constants of adsorbed organic matter complexes may differ from the values found for solution phase equilibria. Such effects are indeed observed for Cu (139) and Ca (132).
