Soil Chemistry 5-1 CARBONATE EQUILIBRIA Carbonates are arguably the most important dissolved component of soil solutions and in alkaline soils this statement is even less disputable. Implicit in this statement is the relationship among dissolved carbonate species whether or not they are in equilibrium with solid phase metal carbonates. The simplest example of carbonates is the control which dissolved carbon dioxide has on water pH and buffering. In this section of the course we will consider the effect of carbon dioxide on water pH, the influence of solid phase calcium carbonate on solution composition and the implications of these reactions. Several systems including carbon dioxide, solution and solid phase carbonates can be envisioned. Some of these include (after Garrels and Christ, 1967). 1. The solution pH of water in equilibrium with carbon dioxide and essentially devoid of other controlling species. 2. The reaction of calcium carbonate saturated solutions with free access to carbon dioxide. In essence this is the equilibrium of lime with air or soil air. Also referred to as an open system with solid phase present. This case is of considerable interest as it represents the relationship of dilute natural waters in contact with the atmosphere and system control only by the carbonate equilibria. 3. The reactions of calcium carbonate with water where the gas phase is restricted or negligible. This condition is not common, but in situations were the equilibrium system has little head space and the mixing of air is restricted the attendant pH and slow rate of return to equilibrium is of interest. This is the famous "Turner Effect". Such as system is also referred to as a closed system since mass is not transferred or exchanged with the surroundings. 4. Equilibrium in systems with a fixed quantity of added alkalinity such as the addition of strong base to a system open to the atmosphere. Other cases can be considered, however these serve to illustrate the great utility of being able to understand the equilbrium behavior of carbonate species in soils and sediments. Section 5- Carbonate Chemistry Soil Chemistry 5-2 CASE 1 CO2 - H2O open system Aqueous carbon dioxide reacts to form carbonic acid via the following reaction: CO2 (aq)3 + H2O ® H 2CO H 2CO 3 = 10 -2.8 = 0.00159 CO 2 (aq) The hydration of carbon dioxide is slow to attain equilibrium below pH 8 in pure systems. However, above pH 11, the hydration reaction is relatively rapid as carbon dioxide reacts directly with hydroxide to form bicarbonate. - - CO2 (aq) + OH = HCO3 (1) In biological systems the hydration of carbon dioxide is catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase a Zn-containing * enzyme. Only a small portion of the aqueous carbon dioxide exists as carbonic acid. However, in most H2CO3 (as defined below) is used to represent solution carbonates. * H 2 CO3 = H 2CO3 + CO2(aq) (2) * Where H2CO3 is the total dissolved cabon including aqueous carbon dioxide. Carbonic acid dissociates into bicarbonate and carbonate according to the following equations: + - ( H ) (HCO3 ) o - 6.4 = K H 2CO3 = 10 (3) ( H 2CO3 ) * where H2CO3 = H2CO3 + CO2 (aq) = H2CO3 o -4 Note that K H2CO3 = 2*10 or pK = 3.69 if corrected for CO2(aq) Section 5- Carbonate Chemistry Soil Chemistry 5-3 + 2- ( H ) (CO3 ) o - 10.3 = - = (4) - K HCO 3 10 ( HCO3 ) As for every aqueous reaction the acid base relationship between the proton and hydroxide is an important relationship. + - (H ) ()OH o - 14 = KW = 10 (5) ( H2O ) Starting with the electrical neutrality expression: + -- 2- [ H ] = [ OH ] + [ HCO3 ] + 2 [ CO 3 ] (6) The system is manipulated to collect terms in the variables of interest - hydrogen ion concentration and carbon dioxide partial pressure. Note that the electrical neutrality expression is defined in terms of concentrations (mol/L). Therefore, in order to utilize values from the thermodynamic equilibrium expressions, the conditional equilibrium constants must be used which relate concentrations rather than activities to the ionic distributions at equilibrium. Defining OH - in terms of H + yields: c KW [OH - ] = (7) [ H + ] - Solving for HCO3 gives: c [ ] - KHH 2CO 3 2 CO3 [HCO 3 ] = (8) []H + Finding carbonate via bicarbonate: c - K - [HCO 3 ] 2 - HCO3 [CO 3 ] = []H + (9) Section 5- Carbonate Chemistry Soil Chemistry 5-4 cc [] KH 2CO3 KH- 2 CO 3 - 2 - HCO3 Substituting for HCO33 : [CO ] = (10) [ H + ] 2 + The rewritten electrical neutrality expression in terms of H and H2CO3 is: c c cc æö - [2 3 ] æöK W æöKHH 2CO33 []2CO 3 KKHH 2CO3 HCO CO [ + ] = + + 2 (11) H ç÷++ç÷ç÷+ 2 èø[HH]èø[] èø[ H ] + 2 Rearranging, multiplying by (H ) and substituting kH * PCO2 for H2CO3 yields: + 3 c+c+cc [] - W [ ] - [] HH - 2 - = 0 HKHKHH22CO3HkkPCO2KCO32KPHCO3 CO (12) + 3 +cccc [] - [] w + HH - 2 - = 0 HHK( KHH22CO3kkPCO2) KCO32KPHCO3 CO We are left with a polynomial equation in [H+]. In this formulation the only variables are (H+) and PCO2. If a known and constant value for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is inserted into the above equation, (H+) can be found by a variety of numerical techniques. Henry's Law Constant for this reaction is strongly influenced by temperature and slightly affected by ionic strength. o Salt Level kH@ 298K Log kK 0.2 M NaCl 0.0328 -1.48 0.5 M NaCl 0.0304 -1.57 1.0 M NaCl 0.0273 -1.56 o Temp K kH @ 0.2 M NaCl Log kH @ 0.2 M NaCl 273 Ko 0.073 -1.13 278 Ko 0.061 -1.21 283 Ko 0.051 -1.29 288 Ko 0.043 -1.36 293 Ko 0.037 -1.47 298 Ko 0.033 -1.48 308 Ko 0.026 -1.58 Section 5- Carbonate Chemistry Soil Chemistry 5-5 Dissolved carbon is distributed among three species H2CO3, HCO3 and CO3 as a function of pH. In soil systems where there may be an external (to the carbonate system) control on pH it would be handy to know the distribution of the carbonate species given pH. This distribution of carbonate species can be derived from the Henderson-Hasslebach relationship knowing pH and pK’s. A slightly different approach is shown next.

Therefore, in the CO2- water system there is never a net excess of base. The system can neutralize added base, but can not neutralize added acid. Another way of saying the same thing is to state that the system do not contain any alkalinity. Alkalinity is an important concept in solution chemistry and relates to the acid neutralization capacity of solutions. The definition of alkalinity for the CO2-water system is: --2-+ Alkalinity=[OH]+[HCO33]+-2[]COH[] (16) In the CO2 -water system the electrical neutrality condition for the system is: +---2 [H]=[OH]++[]HCO332[]CO (17) Substituting the electrical neutrality equation into the alkalinity definition : Section 5- Carbonate Chemistry Soil Chemistry 5-9 --22---- Alkalinity=[OH]+[HCO3]+2[CO3]-[OH]--[HCO33]2[]CO (18) Therefore, there is no alkalinity in a CO2-water system, unless other sources of base are added. Case 2. CaCO3 -CO2-H2O system Calcium carbonate in water with a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide. For the case of a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate dissolved in the aqueous phase one more equation is need to describe the system.

July 2017; Accepted: 4 September 2017; Published: 8 September 2017 Abstract: Quantitative phase analyses of carbonate rocks containing Mg-rich calcite and non- stoichiometric dolomite by the Rietveld method yielded improved results when the substitutions are refined for either minerals. The refinement is constrained by the c-axis of the lattice for both minerals using the formula c = −1.8603 nMg + 17.061 for calcite, where nMg is the molar fraction of Mg replacing Ca, and c = 16.0032 + 0.8632ΔnCa for dolomite, with ΔnCa being the excess Ca in its B site. The one-step procedure was implemented into the Topas software and tested on twenty-two carbonate rock samples from diverse geological settings, considered analogues to petroleum system lithotypes of the pre-evaporite deposits of Southeastern Brazil. The case study spans over a wide range of calcite and dolomite compositions: up to 0.287 apfu Mg in magnesian calcite, and Ca in excess of up to 0.25 apfu in non-stoichiometric dolomite, which are maximum substitutions the formulas support. The method overcomes the limitations for the quantification of minerals by stoichiometry based on whole-rock chemical analysis for complex mineralogy and can be employed for multiple generations of either carbonate.

    CYANIDE REMEDIATION: CURRENT AND PAST TECHNOLOGIES C.A. Young§ and T.S. Jordan, Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Montana Tech, Butte, MT 59701 ABSTRACT Cyanide (CN-) is a toxic species that is found predominantly in industrial effluents generated by metallurgical operations. Cyanide's strong affinity for metals makes it favorable as an agent for metal finishing and treatment and as a lixivant for metal leaching, particularly gold. These technologies are environmentally sound but require safeguards to prevent accidental spills from contaminating soils as well as surface and ground waters. Various methods of cyanide remediation by separation and oxidation are therefore reviewed. Reaction mechanisms are given throughout. The methods are compared in regard to their effectiveness in treating various cyanide species: free cyanide, thiocyanate, weak-acid dissociables and strong-acid dissociables.

    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

The black or black and white calcite spheres are systematically accompanied by needle-like sulfosalts which are known by the local miners as “plumosite”. The genesis of epithermal spheres composed partly or entirely of black calcite is considered to be related to the deposition of calcite within voids filled by hydrothermal fluids that contain acicular crystals of sulfosalts, mostly jamesonite in suspension.

It is added to an appropriate local anesthetic as a neutralizing agent immediately prior to administration. The solution contains no bacteriostat, antimicrobial agent or added buffer and is intended only for single-use. pH is adjusted with carbon dioxide. Per the USP monograph for Sodium Bicarbonate Inj., pH is between 7.0 and 8.5. Osmolar concentration is 2 mOsmol/mL (calc.). Sodium bicarbonate, 84 mg is equal to one milliequivalent each of Na+ and HCO3-. Sodium Bicarbonate, USP is chemically designated as NaHC03, a white crystalline powder soluble in water. Sodium bicarbonate in water dissociates to provide sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. Sodium (Na+) is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid and plays a large part in the therapy of fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Bicarbonate (HCO3-) is a normal constituent of body fluids and the normal plasma level ranges from 24 to 31 mEq/liter. Bicarbonate anion is considered “labile” since at a proper concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) it may be converted to carbonic acid (H2CO3) and thence to its volatile form, carbon dioxide (CO2) excreted by the lung. Normally a ratio of 1:20 (carbonic acid; bicarbonate) is present in the extracellular fluid. In a healthy adult with normal kidney function, practically all the glomerular filtered bicarbonate ion is reabsorbed; less than 1% is excreted in the urine.
