dc.description.abstractDetermining species, concentrations, and physicochemical parameters in natural waters is key to improve our understanding of the functioning of these ecosystems. Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films (DGT) devices with different thicknesses of the resin or of the diffusive disc can be used to collect independent information on relevant parameters. In particular, DGT devices with a stack of two resin discs offer a simple way to determine dissociation rate constants of metal complexes from the accumulation of the target metal in the back resin disc. In this work, simple approximate expressions for the determination of the dissociation rate constant are reported and applied to a model Ni nitrilotriacetic complex as well as to Zn complexes in the Mediterranean Osor stream. Once the physicochemical parameters are known, one can plot the labile fraction of the metal complexes in terms of the thickness of the diffusion domain. These plots reveal a strong dependence on the nature of complexes as well as on the characteristics of the diffusion domain, and they are of high interest as predictors of availability to biota whose uptake is limited by diffusion.
