| Abstract | Laboratory ion-exchange experiments were performed to investigate the complexation behavior of Cr(III) with uronic acids, such as galacturonic, glucuronic, and alginic acid (main constituents of bacterial exopolymeric substances). The experimental data were analyzed with a chemical equilibrium model in FITEQL to determine the reaction stoichiometries and stability constants for the formation of Cr-ligand complexes. Analysis of ion-exchange data with a chemical model indicates that the accurate description of Cr(III) complexation with both glucuronic and galacturonic acids requires postulation of a mixture of 1:1/1:2 complexes between Cr(III) and ligands under the experimental conditions studied (e.g., pH 4), but that the Cr-alginic acid binding can be modeled based on a reaction stoichiometry of 1:1 Cr-alginic acid complexes. Because of the complex nature of alginic acid, a nonelectrostatic, discrete ligand approach was used to determine proton and Cr binding with the functional groups of alginic acid. In this approach, alginic acid was conceptualized as being composed of a suite of two monoprotic acids (HL1 and HL2) with arbitrarily assigned pKa values of two and four, respectively. The results indicate that Cr binding with uronic acids mainly occurs through carboxylic groups under acidic to slightly alkaline pH conditions (e.g., pH < 8). The overall results of the present study indicate that the formation of such Cr-ligand complexes may have a pronounced effect on Cr(III) transport, solubility and bioavailability in natural systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
