1 ASPECTS OF AQUATIC REDOX CHEMISTRY
REDOX CONDITIONS IN NATURAL WATERS: PART II

2 Example Redox Impact on the Aquatic Cycling of Iron

3 Efficiency of Thermodynamic Predictions Measured Eh Vs Calculated Eh in Acid Mine Waters
ACS, 1979

4 Limitations of Thermodynamic Predictions Measured Eh Vs Calculated Eh in Groundwaters
From Lindberg and Runells, 1984 (Science)

5 pE-pH Diagram for Pb:

6 Profiles of dissolved “redox sensitive” chemical species in pore waters of a sediment core collected from an estuary in North Carolina Where do the ammonia and phosphate come from?

7 Profiles of dissolved nitrate, manganese and iron in interstitial waters of a marine sediment core
Mn4+(s)Mn2+(aq) Fe3+(s)  Fe2+(aq) NO3- (aq) NO2-(aq)

8 Idealized distributions of temperature (T) and dissolved oxygen (DO) in “oligotrophic” and “eutrophic lakes” Spring turnover Summer stratification Fall turnover Winter stratification mg O2/L mg O2/L mg O2/L mg O2/L mg/L………………..mg/L………….mg/L…………..mg/L……

9 REDOX BUFFERS AND REMEDIATION
pe Amount of organic matter reacted (arbitrary scale) Changes in pe of a water in contact with sediment as a function of the amount of organic matter decomposed
