Studies of Cu(II) in soil by X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Based on original data for copper, this paper evaluates the use and advantages of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in studies of heavy metals in soils. The structural parameters of the Cu2+ target were quantified for soil exposed to copper and the same soil eluted with 0.1 M HCl. Experimental data were obtained using synchrotron sources of second and third generations.X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) indicated that the copper in both samples is likely to be predominantly bound by oxygen-containing functional groups. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis showed that the equatorial Cu-O distances were similar to those seen for Cu2+-humic complexes in aqueous solutions, but the axial distances for both samples were longer than in water. In the axial direction, this may indicate a type of ligation dissimilar to that in solutions. The magnitude of the mean square deviation of the axial Cu-O distance in the 0.1 M HCl eluted sample indicated a stronger bond compared with that in the sample containing both extractable and tightly bound copper. The results indicate that careful examination of structural data for sequentially eluted soils in combination with the development of new radiation sources to improve the sensitivity and quality of the data are likely to improve insight into the nature of interactions between heavy metals and soil. Key words: Soil, copper, humic, speciation, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, X-ray absorption near edge structure

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.
