Unified Modeling Approach for Quantifying the Proton and Metal Binding Ability of Soil Dissolved Organic Matter

Zhenqing Shi et al.

Summary: Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds in soil solutions, which has a significant impact on various biogeochemical processes in the soil environment. However, the relationship between the chemical complexity of soil DOM molecules and their proton and metal binding abilities is still unclear, limiting our ability to predict the behavior of DOM and metals in the environment. In this study, we developed a modeling approach to quantify the proton and metal binding abilities of soil DOM, based on Cu titration experiments, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry data, and molecular modeling methods. Despite the heterogeneity and diversity of soil DOM properties in samples from different regions, we were able to classify the molecules into three representative groups based on their Cu binding capacity. By developing molecular models for each group and considering their relative contributions in each soil DOM sample, we could predict the molecular properties and binding abilities of soil DOM as a whole. These findings will contribute to the development of mechanistic models for predicting the reactivity of soil DOM from different sources.

Molecular-level composition of dissolved organic matter in distinct trophic states in Chinese lakes: Implications for eutrophic lake management and the global carbon cycle

Shasha Liu et al.

Summary: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a crucial role in aquatic biogeochemical cycles and the global carbon cycle. This study investigates the molecular composition of DOM along a trophic gradient in 11 lakes in China. The results show that DOM from eutrophic lakes is characterized by higher molecular weight, unsaturation degree, abundance of S-containing compounds, and condensed or polycyclic aromatic compounds compared to DOM from oligotrophic lakes. In addition, nutrient input and allochthonous DOM contribute to lake eutrophication and the release of autochthonous DOM. This research provides valuable insights for future studies on DOM dynamics in eutrophic lakes.

Organic compounds alter the preference and rates of heavy metal adsorption on ferrihydrite

Maya Engel et al.

Summary: The study found that different organic-ferrihydrite assemblages have varying degrees of binding with Cd, Zn, and Ni, with organic functional groups introducing additional binding sites and enhancing heavy metal binding rate. Under the influence of metal Lewis acidity, the heavy metal binding effect follows the order Cd > Zn > Ni.

Linking molecular composition to proton and copper binding ability of fulvic acid: A theoretical modeling approach based on FT-ICR-MS analysis

Pei Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the link between molecular composition and the proton and Cu binding ability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) using FT-ICR-MS analysis and theoretical modeling approaches. Despite the complexity of DOM composition, molecules can be divided into three representative groups with distinct chemical properties, providing a new approach for developing mechanistic models for metal reactions with DOM.

Yerko Escalona et al.

Summary: Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is a complex and heterogeneous mixture of organic compounds, and understanding its structure and water accessibility can be improved through the use of standardized humic substances samples. The study utilized the Vienna Soil Organic Matter Modeler 2 to investigate properties of standard Leonardite Humic Acid (LHA) at a nanoscopic level, revealing that a significant fraction of water molecules are confined between organic compounds.
