  1. Metals Modeling Summary of Process Equations and Model Input Data

  2. Summary of Significant Heavy Metal Reactions WASP7 Course From Schnoor, et al., 1987.

  3. Free Ion Soluble Complexes with Organic Ligands Total Metal Precipitates Soluble Complexes with Inorganic Ligands • Adsorbed Species • Adsorption/Coprecipitation on hydrous iron/manganese oxides • Ion Exchange • Adsorption to clays, silicates, other minerals • Adsorption to organic solids From Felmy, et al., 1985. Speciation of Metals in Aquatic Environment WASP7 Course

  4. Metals Adsorption • An “adsorption reaction” is a reaction between a solute ion and a functional group (site) on a solid surface. • Important in attenuating dissolved metal concentration. • Use MINTEQA2 with adsorption reactions to calculate the distribution coefficient between adsorbed and dissolved phases. From Allison and Allison, 2004. MINTEQ course notes. WASP7 Course

  5. Adsorption in MINTEQA2 In MINTEQA2, adsorption reactions: • Are analogous to coordination reactions in solution. • Obey mass laws (mass action) • Include both physical and chemical solute-surface interactions (van der Waals forces, electrostatic attraction, valency forces). • Can be written as chemical “reactions” regardless of the mechanism. • Are thermodynamically distinct from solution reactions only when an electrostatic term is computed and applied separately. From Allison and Allison, 2004. MINTEQ course notes. WASP7 Course

  6. Adsorption Options in MINTEQA2 • Linear Partitioning model • Freundlich Isotherm • Langmuir Isotherm • Surface Complexation models: • Diffuse layer (i.e., MIT Two-Layer model) • Constant Capacitance • Triple Layer • Ion Exchange model From Allison and Allison, 2004. MINTEQ course notes. WASP7 Course

  7. Linear, Freundlich, and Langmuir Equations for: • Linear Partitioning: • Activity Kd Model • Freundlich Isotherm: • Activity Freundlich Model • Langmuir Isotherm: WASP7 Course From Allison and Allison, 2004. MINTEQ course notes.

  8. Sorption Model Comparison Comparison of Linear, Freundlich, & Langmuir Isotherms (after Stumm and Morgan, 1996; Morel, 1983) From Allison and Allison, 2004. MINTEQ course notes. WASP7 Course
