چکیده
This article presents a review of the analytical relevance of trace metal speciation analysis, which must be considered in environmental and biophysicochemical systems for reliable and efficient assessment and monitoring of trace metals. Examples are given of methodological approaches used for speciation analysis. An overview of speciation analysis in sediments, aquatic ecosystems and agrosystems is also presented.

Speciation Studies of Metal Ions in Environmental and Biological Media Using Supported Liquid Membrane Extraction
In ecological risk assessment for chemical pollutants, it is important to quantify the concentrations of freely dissolved substances in aqueous samples for approximate characterization of the bioavailable fraction. Such measurements are important because the concentration and toxicity of a chemical in an organism’s body are linked to the bioavailable fraction and its chemical form within the su...
متن کاملChemical speciation of trace metals in seawater: a review.
The recent development of the chemical speciation of trace metals in seawater is described. The speciation studies reveal that metal ion complexation is one of the most important processes in seawater; especially, most bioactive trace metals, such as Fe(III) and Cu, exist as complexes with ligands in dissolved organic matter. The organic ligands in seawater are characterized with metal ions sel...

This review provides definitions and examples of chemical speciation, as well as giving details of the differences in speciation between labile and inert systems. By moving from the simple to the complex, starting with simple species distribution calculation methods based on solution structural studies, this review progresses to modeling calculations that are applicable to “real-world” systems....
