Effect of ionic strength on the formal potential of the glass electrode in various saline media
Brandariz, Isabel; Vilariño, Teresa; Alonso Suárez, Pablo A.; Herrero, Roberto; Fiol López, Sarah; Sastre de Vicente, Manuel (Elsevier, 1998-08)We examined the variation with ionic strength (I, adjusted with KCl, KNO3, KBr, NaCl or NaClO4) of the formal potential (Econst) for glass electrodes exhibiting a Nernstian response (i.e. Ecell=Econst−s log [H+]). For this ... -
Gibbs-Donnan and Specific Ion Interaction Theory Descriptions of the Effect of Ionic Strength on Proton Dissociation of Alginic Acid
Rey-Castro, Carlos; Herrero, Roberto; Sastre de Vicente, Manuel (Elsevier, 2004)[Abstract] The apparent proton dissociation constants of a commercial alginic acid have been obtained in KNO3 and NaCl at concentrations ranging between 0.01 and 2 mol·L-1. An analysis of the dependence on the ionic strength ... -
Green Development of Iron Doped Silica Gel Materials for Chromium Decontamination
Gómez-Carnota, David; Barriada, José Luis; Herrero, Roberto (Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] New hybrid polymeric materials were prepared by the polymerisation of sodium silicate, water, and hydrochloric acid, with the subsequent addition of iron. After the treatment with a natural reducing biomass ... -
