28
More on pe
  • Aqueous electrons do not exist
  • Redox reactions are frequently not in equilibrium
  • Multiple pes from multiple redox couples
  • However, we do not expect to see major
    inconsistenciese.g. both D.O. and HS-in a
    single environment

29
Redox Elements
30
Redox and pe in SOLUTION Data Blocks
  • When do you need pe for SOLUTION?
  • To distribute total concentration of a redox
    element among redox states e.g. As to As(5) and
    As(3)
  • A few saturation indices with e- in dissociation
    reactions
  • Pyrite
  • Native sulfur
  • Manganese oxides
  • Can use a redox couple Fe(2)/Fe(3) in place of pe
  • Rarely, pe 16.9Eh. (25 C and Eh in Volts).
  • Redox choices only apply to speciation
    calculations

31

SOLUTION_SPREAD
35
SATURATION INDEXThermodynamic state of a
solution relative to a mineral
  • SI lt 0, Mineral should dissolve
  • SI gt 0, Mineral should precipitate
  • SI 0, Mineral reacts fast enough to maintain
    equilibrium
  • Maybe
  • Kinetics
  • Uncertainties

36
Rules for Saturation Indices
  • Mineral can not dissolve if it is not present
  • If SI lt 0 and mineral is presentthe mineral
    could dissolve, but not precipitate
  • If SI gt 0the mineral could precipitate, but not
    dissolve
  • If SI 0the mineral could dissolve or
    precipitate to maintain equilibrium

37
Uncertainties in SI Analytical data
  • 5 uncertainty in element concentration is .02
    units in SI.
  • 0.5 pH unit uncertainty is 0.5 units in SI of
    calcite, 1.0 units in dolomite
  • 1 pe or pH unit uncertainty is 8 units in SI of
    FeS for the following equation
  • SI(FeS) logFelogSO4-2-8pH-8pe-log
    K(FeS)

38
Uncertainties in SI Equation
  • Much smaller uncertainty for SI(FeS) with the
    following equation
  • SI(FeS) logFelogHS-pH-log K(FeS)
  • For minerals with redox elements, uncertainties
    are smaller if the valence states of the elements
    in solution are measured.

39
Uncertainties in SI Log K
  • Apatite from Stumm and Morgan
  • Ca5(PO4)3(OH) 5Ca2 3PO4-3 OH-
  • Apatite from Wateq log K -55.4
  • Log Ks especially uncertain for aluminosilicates

  • Accounts for sorption as a function of pH and
    solution composition
  • Considers variable charge surfaces. Number of
    sorption of sites is constant but site charge and
    surface charge vary as a function of solution
    composition
  • Similar to aqueous complexation/speciation
  • A mix of anions, cations neutral species can
    sorb
  • Accounts for electrostatic work required to
    transport ions to a charged surface (similar to
    an activity coefficient correction) ?
    Gouy-Chapman theory

123
Surface charge depends on the sorption/surface
binding of potential determining ions, such as
H. Formation of surface complexes also affects
surface charge.

Gouy-Chapman Double-Layer Theory
The distribution of charge near a surface seeks
to minimize energy (charge separation) and
maximize entropy. A charged surface attracts a
diffuse cloud of ions, preferentially enriched in
counterions. The cation/anion imbalance in the
cloud gradually decreasses away from the surface.

CD-MUSIC
  • Hiemstra and Van Rimsdijk
  • Charge Distribution MUltiSIte Complexation model
  • Inner sphere complexes have charge on central
    ion, say P, distributed between the 0 and 1
    planes
  • Recently, tend not to have charge at the 2 plane.
  • EXAFS, Molecular dynamics, and crystallography
    for bonding characteristics

130
Optional Explicit Diffuse Layer Calculation
Electroneutrality requires that
Borkovec and WestallCalculate the excess/deficit
of ions in the diffuse layer. PHREEQC has
capability for the Dzombak and Morell formulation.

For all surface reactions
where DZ is the net change in the charge number
of the surface species
is variable and represents the
electrostatic work needed to transport species
through the interfacial potential gradient. The
exponential factor basically is equivalent to an
activity coefficient correction. Kint strictly
represents the chemical bonding reaction.

Surface Complexation
  • 3 keywords to define surface complexation
  • SURFACE_MASTER_SPECIES (component data)
  • SURFACE_SPECIES (species thermo. data)
  • SURFACE
  • First 2 are found in phreeqc.dat and wateq4f.dat
    (for hydrous ferrous oxide, HFO, with both weak
    and strong sorption sites data from Dzombak
    Morel, 1990). Data can be modified in
    user-created input files.
  • Last is user-specified to define amount and
    composition of a surface.

Databases do not have CD-MUSIC species!
135
SURFACE
  • Initial surface calculation
  • Sites units (moles or sites/nm2)
  • Model

Sorption Parameters for HFO(from Dzombak
Morel, 1990)
Specific surface area 600m2/g (range
200-840) Site density for weak sites 0.2
mol/mol Fe (range 0.1-0.3) 3.5
sites/nm2 (-sites density) Weak sites apply to
sorption of protons, cations and anions Site
density for strong sites 0.005 mol/mol Fe
(range 0.001-0.01) 0.1 sites/nm2 Strong sites
are a smaller set of high-affinity cation binding
sites. Dzombak Morel assume HFO to be
Fe2O3.H2O, i.e. 89g HFO/mol Fe Note HFO ages to
goethite (a-FeOOH), a crystalline oxide with
lower and less reactive surface area. 2-10
goethite appears after 12-15 days of aging.
137
Initial Surface Calculation
  • Calculates the composition of a surface in
    equilibrium with a solution
  • Solution composition does not change
  • Not a reaction, think of it as a shortcut
  • Simplest, most reasonable way to define a surface
    composition
  • Alternative to initial solution composition is
    HfoOHUncharged OH form of surface

138
SURFACE Sites Related to an EQUILIBRIUM_PHASE
  • Sites and area are proportional to moles of
    mineral
  • Index numbers of SURFACE and EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES
    must match
  • Other SURFACE options are the same
  • Can also relate surface to a KINETIC reactant
    (last tab)

139
SURFACE Exercise R27
  • Calculate the composition of a Hydrous Ferric
    Oxide (Hfo) surface in equilibrium with seawater.
  • Use Dzombak and Morel DDL model, with each
    explicit diffuse-layer option (default
    thickness). Note, one option fails.
  • Assume only weak sites, site density 3.5
    sites/nm2, mass of sorbent is 10 grams, and
    specific area is 600 m2/g.

140
SURFACE Caveats
  • Competition, especially cation vs anion, may be
    inaccurate
  • DM is only for Hfo, the real world is some
    combination of Fe, Al, Si, and organic matter
  • Site-specific data are needed
  • Explicit diffuse layer calculation is at best an
    approximation
  • Thickness
  • Negative concentrations
  • Theory lacking for finite pore spaces
  • Borkovec requires charge balance
  • Still developing New data, EXAFS, Molecular
    Dynamics, CD-MUSIC

141
SURFACE Exercise R30
  • Define a 100 umol/kgw NaHPO4 solution
  • Define surface in equilibrium with the solution
  • 1 mmol Hfo_w sites
  • 5000 g of solid
  • 0.3 m2/g solid
  • Add 3 mmol of NaOH in 30 steps
  • Plot dissolved P and major sorbed phosphate
    species versus pH

142
Questions
  • How much phosphate is on the surface at pH 6?
  • What are the sorbed species?
  • Which species is predominant?
  • What happens to surface charge as the pH
    increases?

REACTION KINETICS
Pierre Glynn, March 2005 (w/ notes from Alex Blum)
144
General Concepts
  • Transport vs. Reaction Control
  • Elementary vs. Overall Reactions
  • Detailed Balancing
  • Microscopic Reversability
  • Temperature Dependance
  • Transition State Theory
  • Michaelis-Menten/Monod Kinetics
  • Surface Area
  • Silicate mineral dissolution kinetics
    weathering

145
Transport vs. Reaction Control
a) Transport control b) Surface reaction
control c) Mixed Transport and surface-reaction
control
146
  • Transport limitations
  • diffusion in solution
  • solid-state diffusion
  • Reaction limitations
  • surface reaction control
  • surface characteristics
  • crystal defects
  • impurities
  • crystal morphology

147
Surface Area
  • Critical to rate calculations and predictions
  • Geometric area estimation (often requires
    averaging or stochastic theory)
  • BET measurements, usually w/ N2 (4Ã… compared to
    3Ã… for H2O)
  • Surface roughness (BET/Geometric)
  • SR 5 - 12 for fresh ground silicate
  • SR 300 - 2000 for deeply weathered natural
    silicates
  • Rate correction factor (m/m0)n, n lt 1.

148
Elementary vs. overall reactions
Reactions are the result of molecular collisions
almost invariably depend on the collision of no
more than 2 molecular species at a time.
Overall reactions, such as
do not reveal the sequential, and possibly
parallel, sets of molecular interactions, i.e.
elementary reactions, that are actually involved.
149
Example of fast reactions (only 1 elementary
step)
Example of a two step reaction
Overall reaction
Determining a rate law requires knowledge of the
rate-limiting elementary reaction (usually only
one). Allows accounting for the stoichiometry and
the reaction order. If this is not possible (eg.
for an overall reaction), rate laws are
determined experimentally.
150
Temperature Dependence
151
Activation Energy (EA)
  • Reaction rates are exponentially dependent on EA
  • EA depends on the direction of a reaction
  • Catalysis lowers the EA required for a reaction
    (note activated complex)

Transition State Theory
  • Applies statistical mechanics to individual
    elementary reactions. Meaningless for overall
    reactions.
  • Focuses on the activated complex, the molecular
    configuration present at the top of the energy
    barrier between reactants and products in an
    elementary reaction.
  • Assumes this complex is a true chemical species
    and assumes that the initial reactants are always
    at equilibrium with the complex.
  • Predicts that the rate is proportional to the
    number of activated complexes and to their rate
    of decomposition.

Surface Speciation Kinetic Model
  • Fast reversible adsorption reaction to form a
    surface species
  • Irreversible dissolution reaction at that surface
    species

157
Surface complexation theory allows guessing the
form of the activated complex. In this case
(dissolution of Amelia albite Blum, 1994, GCA),
the dissolution rate is proportional to the
degree of protonation, or deprotonation of the
surface

Michaelis-Menten/Monod Kinetics
  • Based on enzyme kinetics
  • Similar to TST theory based on the idea of an
    activated complex, or an enzyme-substrate
    (ES) compound, whose concentration controls the
    rate of reaction
  • The Michaelis-Menten equation is
