Inorganic Analytical Approaches
• Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GF-AAS)
– Older technique, often coupled with solvent extraction, not used as
much anymore
• Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
• Flow Injection/Chemiluminescence/Spectrophotometry
• Electrochemistry (Voltammetry)
4
Types of Electrochemical Analyses
•
Cathodic Stripping Voltametry (Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu)
– Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode (CSV-HMDE)
– Preconcentrates using adsorption of a metal-Lsynthetic complex
– Reduces the metal (and in some cases the ligand) to generate signal
• e.g. -0.6V to -1.4 V
•
Anodic Stripping Voltametry (Zn, Cd, Pb)
– Thin Film Mercury Rotating disk electrodes (ASV TF-RDE)
– Preconcentrates using adsorption of elemental metal holding a reduction
potential
– No synthetic Ligand needed
– Oxidizes the metal to achieve signal
• e.g. -1.4 to -0.4 V

Kinetics of Competitive Ligand Exchange

To actually calculate ligand concentrations, and Kcond titration data is analyzed using
Scatchard plots or van den Berg/Ruzic plot, or non-linear fitting

In culture, copper ligands are produced by cyanobacteria
Moffett and Brand, Limnol Oceanogr, 1996

Cobalt ligands in seawater have a biological source
(Production of ligands in a Synechococcus feature in the Costa Rica Upwelling Dome

From Buck and Bruland 2007
The physiochemical speciation of dissolved iron
in the Bering Sea, Alaska
Limnol Oceanogr, 2007
“These observations suggest that the
phytoplankton community is readily able to
access dissolved Fe from the FeL1 complex,
resulting in excess L1 between dissolved Fe
and L1 ligand concentrations in samples with
intermediate dissolved Fe, and this is a
seemingly ubiquitous feature of dissolved Fe
cycling in the marine environment.”
•
FeL1 as a nutritional source?
•
How do phytoplankton acquire iron and
other bioactive metals?
