Speciation Studies in Soil, Sediment and Environmental Samples
Thallium has numerous applications in industry. It is also of great environmental concern because of its high toxicity. Therefore, stabilities of its aqueous and solid species under low temperature environments are fundamentally important to its impact on environments. In previous publications (Xiong 2007, 2009), a number of aqueous and solid thallium species and their stabilities were addressed. However, several thallium species that are potentially important to soil environments, especially saline soil environments, have not been covered.

This study reports the solubility constants of both synthetic and natural hydromagnesite (5424) determined in NaCl solutions with a wide range of ionic strength regarding the following reaction:. Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2.4H2O (cr)+10H+⇆5Mg2++4CO2(g)+10H2O(l)Solubility experiments were conducted from undersaturation in deionized water and 0.10-4.4m NaCl solutions at PCO2 of 10-3.4atm and 22.5°C, and lasting up to 1870days. Based on the specific interaction theory, the weighted average solubility constant at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental results in 0.10-3.2m NaCl solutions using the natural hydromagnesite (5424) from Staten Island, New York, is 58.39±0.40 (2σ) in logarithmic units at 22.5°C with a corresponding value of 57.93±0.40 (2σ) at 25°C. Similarly, the weighted average solubility constant using the natural hydromagnesite (5424) from Gabbs, Nevada, is 59.54±0.72 (2σ) in logarithmic units at 22.5°C with a corresponding value of 59.07±0.72 (2σ) at 25°C. The weighted average solubility constant of synthetic hydromagnesite (5424) determined from experiments in 0.10-4.4m NaCl solutions is 61.53±0.59 (2σ) in logarithmic units at 22.5°C with a corresponding value of 61.04±0.59 (2σ) at 25°C. The natural hydromagnesite has lower solubilities because of its higher crystallinity related to their origins than synthetic hydromagnesite. The solubility constant of synthetic hydromagnesite is about one order of magnitude lower than the literature values. The Gibbs free energies of formation at the reference state (25°C, 1bar) are -5896±2kJmol-1, -5889±4kJmol-1, and -5,878±3kJmol-1 for the natural hydromagnesite from Staten Island, New York, from Gabbs, Nevada, and for the synthetic hydromagnesite, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
