Total dissolved P

The cycling and availability of P in estuaries is largely dependent upon P speciation. Consequently, total P (TP) has traditionally been divided into total dissolved P (TDP) and total particulate P (TPP) fractions (Juday et al., 1927), which can further be divided... 

Total P total dissolved P determined as molybdate teaaive after filtration and persulfate digestion. 

The net flux of P to the ocean (0.8 x 10 mol d i. Fig. 17.3) was calculated by difference (total dissolved and particulate inputs for the entire shelf system minus burial and nearshore export). This flux requires that the dissolved P concentration on the outer shelf be 0.1 pmol L-i, which is in good agreement with observed values (DeMaster and Pope 1996). The marine particulate contribution to the offshore net P flux (0.14 x 10 mol d"i or 26% of the total) was based on the marine particulate N export from the shelf (Daley 1997) and the Redfield N/P ratio of 16. These data indicate that of the total dissolved P reaching the Amazon shelf (0.7-0.8 X 10 mol d l), approximately 100% ultimately is exported in dissolved or particulate form to the open ocean (Table 17.2). 

An important assumption was that the solution was dilute (in this case natural water of approximately lOOp.p.m. total dissolved solids) since there are difficulties in applying mass transport equations for certain situations in concentrated electrolyte solution, where a knowledge of activities is uncertain and this can lead to large errors. 

Soluble salts of the soil Water in the soil should most properly be considered as the solvent for salts of the soil the result being the soil solution. In temperate climates and moderate rainfall areas, the soil solution is relatively dilute, with total dissolved salts ranging from 80 to 1 500 p.p.m. Regions of extensive rainfall show lower concentrations of soluble salts as the result of leaching action. Conversely, soils in arid regions are usually quite high in salts as these salts are carried to the surface layers of the soil by water movement due to surface evaporation. 

Suppose the osmotic pressure under total pressure p is P, and let Arp be the change of total volume occurring when a mol of solute is dissolved under total pressure p. Let Yp be the change of volume of the system inside the osmotic apparatus when solvent is admitted so as to dissolve a mol of solute (cf. 188). 

The calculation of the concentrations of dissolved carbon species from total dissolved carbon and alkalinity is carried out in subroutine CARBONATE, presented in program DGC09. I have specified the equilibrium constants as functions of water temperature by fitting straight lines to the values tabulated by Broecker and Peng (1982, p. 151).

Note that for the total (dissolved and particulate) concentration, Ct, the abrupt change of the solid-to-water-phase ratio, rsw (Eq. 9-15), at the sediment surface acts like a phase change. The numerical example given in Table 19.1 demonstrates that the transition from the open water column of a lake or the ocean to the sediments involves an increase of rsw by 5 to 6 orders of magnitude. Typically, in the open water, rs p is of order 10 3 kg m-3 while in the sediment column lies between 102 and 103 kg nr3. Thus, at equilibrium the total (dissolved and sorbed) concentration per unit bulk volume on either side of the interface for compounds with small to moderate solid-water distribution ratios (Ki <10 m3kg ) is approximatively given by (see Box 19.1, Eq. 4) ... 

For electrical demineralization, the amount of electric current, the membrane area required, and the costs of the process depend on the amount of salt removed. The electric membrane process is currently most attractive for treatment of so-called brackish waters containing from 1000 to 10,000 p.p.m. of total dissolved solids.
