2. Background Dissolved metals, bacteria, and NOM interact to form ternary complexes
3. Big Picture Why is Ternary complexation important?
Ternary complexation will help researchers to better understand mobility of metal ions in aqueous systems with NOM.
This in turn will assist in toxic clean-up efforts.
May have implications for bacteria-substrate interactions.
4. Experiments Two main sets of analysis were done
Comparison of the extent of ternary complexation with different NOM.
Comparison of the extent of ternary complexation with the same NOM using different metals.
6. Basic Data Analysis
