The effect of temperature on tight metal binding by peat and soil derived solid humic acids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The brown biomaterials called humic acids (HA) in peats and soils retain water and bind metal cations and other solutes. Studies of the interactions of purified solid peat and soil-derived HA from different countries with metal cations in water probe HA microstructures and help to characterize the metal binding sites. Labile cations such as Caaq2+, Co aq2+, Cu aq2+, Fe aq3+, Mg aq2+ and Mn aq2+ tightly bind to solid HAs in sequential steps. The isotherms A vs. c are well fitted with the Langmuir model and plots of 1/A vs. 1/c are linear for each step. Here, A is mmol bound metal g–1 HA and c is the equilibrium cation concentration (M). This paper compares the stoichiometric site capacities vi and equilibrium constants Ki for tight binding of Ca aq2+, Co aq2+, Cu aq2+, Fe aq3+, Mg aq2+ and Mn aq2+ at different solid HA sites. Measurements at different temperatures give linearly correlated metal binding enthalpy and entropy changes, indicating that conformational changes and cation/HA hydration/dehydration are important factors in metal binding and release by solid HAs. Key words: Humic acids; metal binding; isotherms; thermodynamics

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
