چکیده

The oxidation of Fe(II) by molecular oxygen at nanomolar levels has been studied using a UV-Vis spectrophotometric system equipped with a long liquid waveguide capillary flow cell. The effect of pH (6.5-8.2), NaHCO3 (0.1-9 mM), temperature (3-35 degrees C), and salinity (0-36) on the oxidation of Fe(II) are presented. The first-order oxidation rates at nanomolar Fe(II) are higher than the values at micromolar levels at a pH below 7.5 and lower than the values at a higher pH. A kinetic model has been developed to consider the mechanism of the Fe(II) oxidation and the speciation of Fe(II) in seawater, the interactions between the major ions, and the oxidation rates of the different Fe(II) species. The concentration of Fe(II) is largely controlled by oxidation with O2 and O2.- but is also affected by hydrogen peroxide that may be both initially present and formed from the oxidation of Fe(II) by superoxide. The model has been applied to describe the effect of pH, concentration of NaHCO3, temperature, and salinity on the kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation. At a pH over 7.2, Fe(OH)2 is the most important contributing species to the apparent oxidation rate. At high levels of CO3(2-) and pH, the Fe(CO3)2(2-) species become important. At pH values below 7, the oxidation rate is controlled by Fe2+. Using the model, log k(i) values for the most kinetically active species (Fe2+, Fe(OH)+, Fe(OH)2, Fe(CO3), and Fe(CO3)2(2-)) are given that are valid over a wide range of temperature, salinity, and pH in natural waters. Model results showthatwhen H2O2 concentrations approach the Fe(II) concentrations used in this study, the oxidation of Fe(II) with H2O2 also needs to be considered.

Redox state of iron in the offshore waters of Peru’

The total concentration and redox state of iron were examined along a transect across the continental shelf off the Peruvian coast during. January 1984. Total and dissolved iron (0.4~pm filter) were measured by the Co-APDC coprecipitation method. Fe(II) was measured by a preconcentration step with S-hydroxyquinoline bonded to silica as the stationary phase, followed by elution and the ferrozine...

A Comparison between Four Analytical Methods for the Measurement of Fe(II) at Nanomolar Concentrations in Coastal Seawater

Dissolved Fe(II) in seawater is deemed an important micronutrient for microbial organisms, but its analysis is challenging due to its transient nature. We conducted a series of Fe(II) method comparison experiments, where spikes of 5 to 31 nM Fe(II) were added to manipulated seawaters with varying dissolved oxygen (37 to 156μM) concentrations. The observed Fe(II) concentrations from four analyti...
