Surfactant Sorption

Bioavailability is herein defined as the accessibility of a substrate by a microorganism. Further, bioavailability is governed by (1) the substrate concentration that the cell membrane “sees,” (i.e., the “directly bioavailable” pool) as well as (2) the rate of mass transfer from potentially bioavailable (e.g., nonaqueous) phases to the directly bioavailable (e.g., aqueous) phase. Mechanisms by which sorbed (bio)surfactants influence these two processes are discussed. We propose the hypothesis that the sorption of (bio)surfactants at the solid-liquid interface is partially responsible for the increased bioavailability of surface-bound nutrients, and offer this as a basis for suggesting the development of engineered in-situ bioremediation technologies that take advantage of low (bio)surfactant concentrations. In addition, other industrial systems where bioavailability phenomena should be considered are addressed.

Coordination-induced spin crossover (CISCO) in nickel(II) porphyrinates is an intriguing phenomenon that is interesting from both fundamental and practical standpoints. However, in most cases, realization of this effect requires extensive synthetic protocols or extreme concentrations of extra-ligands. Herein we show that CISCO effect can be prompted for the commonly available nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrinate, NiTPP, upon deposition of this complex at the air/water interface together with a ruthenium(II) phthalocyaninate, CRPcRu(pyz)2, bearing two axial pyrazine ligands. The latter was used as a molecular guiderail to align Ni···Ru···Ni metal centers for pyrazine coordination upon lateral compression of the system, which helps bring the two macrocycles closer together and forces the formation of Ni–pyz bonds. The fact of Ni(II) porphyrinate switching from low- to high-spin state upon acquiring additional ligands can be conveniently observed in situ via reflection-absorption UV-vis spectroscopy. The reversible nature of this interaction allows for dissociation of Ni–pyz bonds, and thus, change of nickel cation spin state, upon expansion of the monolayer.

The authors studied benthic flux of oxygen, alkalinity, and nutrients in situ at three points in the Mejerda River Delta at depths of 10m, 20m and 40m in March and August 2012. Three sedimentary cores were simultaneously drilled at the same locations to determine the diffusive flux of NO2-, NO3-, NH4+ and PO43- and to estimate diagenetic mechanisms occurring below the sediment-water interface. Photosynthesis was not sufficiently high during the day, and the oxygen consumption at sediment-water interface was about 1.7 to 10mmol/m²/day, essentially controlled by the degradation of organic matter and oxidation of reduced elements. Nitrate contents are relatively high in the sediment (above 140μM for NO3-)and their production is not always in conformity with the general scheme of early diagenesis, moreover, benthic flux between water and sediment are not clearly established. The diffusive flux of NH4+ and PO43- are always directed to the water column, at averages of 1.27μmol/m²/day for PO43- and 96.5μmol/m²/day for NH4+, complying with those measured by benthic chambers, but representing less than 30% of benthic fluxes for NH4+ and less than 5% for PO43-.
