Abstract

Regression of standard state equilibrium constants with the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) equation of state allows evaluation of standard partial molal entropies (So) of aqueous metal-organic complexes involving monovalent organic acid ligands. These values of So provide the basis for correlations that can be used, together with correlation algorithms among standard partial molal properties of aqueous complexes and equation-of-state parameters, to estimate thermodynamic properties including equilibrium constants for complexes between aqueous metals and several monovalent organic acid ligands at the elevated pressures and temperatures of many geochemical processes which involve aqueous solutions. Data, parameters, and estimates are given for 270 formate, propanoate, n-butanoate, n-pentanoate, glycolate, lactate, glycinate, and alanate complexes, and a consistent algorithm is provided for making other estimates. Standard partial molal entropies of association (ΔSro) for metal-monovalent organic acid ligand complexes fall into at least two groups dependent upon the type of functional groups present in the ligand. It is shown that isothermal correlations among equilibrium constants for complex formation are consistent with one another and with similar correlations for inorganic metal-ligand complexes. Additional correlations allow estimates of standard partial molal Gibbs free energies of association at 25°C and 1 bar which can be used in cases where no experimentally derived values are available.

      The agreement was within 0.01–0.04 log units, except for the calculated Q1 at 150 and 200 °C where the HKF evaluation was 0.09 and 0.14 log units lower, respectively. The aqueous species and solid component HKF parameters in the CaCO3-H2O system were taken from the Slop07 database (Shock and Helgeson, 1988; Shock and Koretsky, 1995; Shock et al., 1997; Sverjensky et al., 1997; Geopig, 2010). In the present study, the stability constants were determined using an isothermal cell with transfer operating simultaneously with two electrode systems:

      Nevertheless, it is important to note that the standard state equilibrium constant of a metal-glycinate reaction is sensitive to the changes in ionic strength, pH, and temperature. Therefore, any small change in these parameters could influence the dissolution or precipitation of minerals [14]. In this study, the average standard state equilibrium constants of metal-glycinate association are calculated based on experimental data that are available in the literature (see Tables 1–4).
