A unifying model of cation binding by humic substances Class: Advanced Environmental Chemistry (II) Presented by: Chun-Pao Su (Robert) Date: 2/9/1999 ? Abstract Model V describes the binding of ions by humic substances in terms of complexation at discrete sites, modified by electrostatic attraction and repulsion, also takes account of nonspecific binding due to counterion accumulation. The model operates over wide ranges of pH (3-11) and ionic strength (0.001-1M). Electrostatic effects on specific binding are described with an empirical relationship involving net humic charge and an electro
