Iron speciation in interaction with organic matter: Modelling and experimental approach
Résumé
The present study aims to model iron speciation when interacting with natural organic matter. Experimental data for iron speciation were achieved with insolubilized humic acid as an organic matter analogue for 1.8 × 10− 3 M and 1.8 × 10− 4 M iron concentrations and 2–5 pH range. Combining EPR spectroscopy and chemical analysis allowed us to fit NICA-Donnan model parameters for both organic complexation of iron and oxides precipitation.
