Environmetal context.The mobility of toxic arsenic compounds in the environment can be controlled by the solubility of certain minerals. To predict and model the fate and behaviour of these contaminants, the solubility and related thermodynamic properties of the lead and arsenic mineral mimetite were determined. The data obtained in this study will be used to optimise and increase the effectiveness of remediation procedures that are already applied to contaminated sites. Abstract.The solubility of the synthesised mimetite was measured in a series of dissolution experiments at 5–55°C and at pH values between 2.00 and 2.75. The solubility product logKSP for the reaction Pb5(AsO4)3Cl ↔ 5Pb2+ + 3AsO43– + Cl– at 25°C is –76.35 ± 1.01. The free energy of formation ΔGf,2980 calculated from this measured solubility product equals –2634.3 ± 5.9 kJ mol–1. The temperature dependence of the logKSP is non-linear, indicating that the enthalpy of the reaction depends on the temperature. The enthalpy of the formation of mimetite ΔHf0, is –2965.9 ± 4.7 kJ mol–1, the entropy, ΔS0, is 39.5 J mol–1 K–1, and the heat capacity, ΔCp,f0 is –6172 ± 105 J mol–1 K–1. Hydrochemical modelling indicates that regardless of the composition of the background solution, Pb5(AsO4)3Cl is most stable at neutral to weakly alkaline pH.

AbstractThe bromide analogue of pyromorphite Pb5(PO4)3Br was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The solubility of the brompyromorphite was measured at 25°C and pH values of 2.0, 2.6 and 3.2. For the 3 pH measurements, the average solubility product, log KSP, for the reaction Pb5(PO4)3Br ⇔ 5Pb2+ + 3PO- 3- + Br- at 25ºC is -77.38 ± 0.70. The free energy of formation, ΔG°f,298, calculated from this measured solubility product is -3724.7 ± 4.3 kJ mol−1. These results confirm that brompyromorphite is more soluble than pyromorphite.

Tooeleite [Fe6(AsO3)4(SO4)(OH)4·4H2O] was synthesized and characterized to investigate its possible immobilization for arsenic in acidic and alkali environments by a long-term dissolution of 330 d. The synthetic tooeleite was platy crystallites of ~1μm across, giving the lattice parameters of a = 6.4758 Å, b = 19.3737 Å and c = 8.9170 Å. For the tooeleite dissolution, the dissolved arsenic concentration showed the lowest value of 427.3~435.8 mg/L As at initial pH 12 (final pH 5.54). The constituents were dissolved preferentially in the sequence of SO42− > AsO33− > Fe3+ in the aqueous medium at initial pH 2–12. The dissolved iron, arsenite and sulfate existed mainly as FeSO4+/Fe3+, H3AsO30 and SO42− at initial pH 2, and in the form of Fe(OH)30/Fe(OH)2+, H3AsO30 and SO42− at initial pH 12, respectively. The tooeleite dissolution was characterized by the preferential releases of SO42− anions from solid surface into aqueous medium, which was fundamentally controlled by the Fe-O/OH bond breakages and the outer OH− group layers. From the data of the dissolution at 25 °C and initial pH 2 for 270–330 d, the ion-activity product [logˍIAP], which equaled the solubility product [Ksp] at the dissolution equilibrium, and the Gibbs free energy of formation [ΔGfo] were estimated as −200.28 ± 0.01 and −5180.54 ± 0.07 kJ/mol for the synthetic tooeleite, respectively.

Dissolution of the synthetic cadmium fluorapatite [Cd5(PO4)3F] at 25°C, 35°C, and 45°C was experimentally examined in HNO3 solution, pure water, and NaOH solution. The characterization results confirmed that the cadmium fluorapatite nanorods used in the experiments showed no obvious variation after dissolution. During the dissolution of Cd5(PO4)3F in HNO3 solution (pH = 2) at 25°C, the fluoride, phosphate, and cadmium ions were rapidly released from solid to solution, and their aqueous concentrations had reached the highest values after dissolution for <1 h, 1440 h, and 2880 h, respectively. After that, the total dissolution rates declined slowly though the solution Cd/P molar ratios increased incessantly from 1.55∼1.67 to 3.18∼3.22. The solubility product for Cd5(PO4)3F (Ksp) was determined to be 10−60.03 (10−59.74∼10−60.46) at 25°C, 10−60.38 (10−60.32∼10−60.48) at 35°C, and 10−60.45 (10−60.33∼10−60.63) at 45°C. Based on the log Ksp values obtained at an initial pH of 2 and 25°C, the Gibbs free energy of formation for Cd5(PO4)3F (ΔGf0) was calculated to be −4065.76 kJ/mol (−4064.11∼−4068.23 kJ/mol). The thermodynamic parameters for the dissolution process were computed to be 342515.78 J/K·mol, −85088.80 J/mol, −1434.91 J/K·mol, and 2339.50 J/K·mol for ΔG0, ΔH0, ΔS0, and ΔCp0, correspondingly.

Incubation of a membrane preparation enriched in Photosystem Two (PSII) at alkaline pH inhibited the water-splitting reactions in two distinct steps. Up to pH 8.5 the inhibition was reversible, whereas at higher alkalinities it was irreversible. It was shown that the reversible phase correlated with loss and rebinding of the 23 kDa extrinsic polypeptide. However, after mild alkaline treatments a partial recovery was possible without the binding of the 23 kDa polypeptide when the assay was at the optimal pH of 6.5 and in a medium containing excess Cl-. The irreversible phase was found to be closely linked with the removal of the 33 kDa extrinsic protein of PSII. Treatments with pH values above 8.5 not only caused the 33 kDa protein to be displaced from the PSII-enriched membranes, but also resulted in an irreversible modification of the binding sites such that the extrinsic 33 kDa protein could not reassociate with PSII when the pH was lowered to 6.5. The results obtained with these more extreme alkaline pH treatments support the notion that the 23 kDa protein cannot bind to PSII unless the 33 kDa protein is already bound. The differential effect of pH on the removal of the 23 kDa and 33 kDa proteins contrasted with the data of Kuwabara & Murata [(1983) Plant Cell Physiol. 24, 741-747], but this discrepancy was accounted for by the use of glycerol in the incubation media.
