Magnesium binding by terrestrial humic acids

Abstract: Environmental contextThe behaviour of magnesium, which is an essential element for all living organisms, in terrestrial environments is influenced by natural organic matter. This study shows that magnesium binding by terrestrial humic acids exhibits a pronounced ionic strength-dependence indicating a strong preference for electrostatic binding to humic acids. This interaction is expected to influence the mobility of humic substances and their associated trace elements. AbstractMagnesium binding by three terres… Show more

“…Copper (Cu), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), sodium (Na), and several other elements are complexed with humic acids to reduce appropriate shortage of elements in soil [24]. In plants magnesium (Mg) is needed for the working of ATP in living cells and also for chlorophyll synthesis [25]. The presence of zinc (Zn), a micronutrient in soil is essential for the growth of plants.…”

“…and amino groups all participate in metal binding, with different metals showing preference for different functional groups. Although the specifics of such binding are metal-dependent, 21,27,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] there is competition between metals for different binding sites. 25,34,45,46 Complexation by metals can affect NOM photophysics, which is often probed using fluorescence studies.…”

“…Given the significant flux decline and shift in NOM molecular weight noted during the NOM-Mg experiment, magnesium appears to bridge high molecular weight NOM, yet the influence of this fouling mechanism is less significant than that of calcium. The high affinity of calcium for NOM functional groups relative to magnesium enables calcium-NOM aggregation in solution and extensive RO membrane fouling [58,59].…”
