| Abstract |
From voltammetric titration curves of living Chlorella marina cells with cadmium ion, at constant pH, the surface binding capacity of the alga was determined and interpreted in terms of average conditional equilibrium constants and of differential equilibrium function. Since the alga can live in estuaries, the influence of ionic strength and competition of alkaline and alkaline earth cations has been considered. Cadmium complexation with dead algae killed by heat or using formaldehyde has also been studied for comparison. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved. |
