Ion binding to humic substances is influenced by the chemical heterogeneity and by the variable charge behavior of the humics. In this paper, we concentrate on the variable charge effects. To study these effects, acid/base titration data of 11 humic substances measured at a series of salt levels are analyzed. In a first-order approach, the organic matter molecules are treated as an ensemble of small rigid and impermeable cylindrical or spherical particles of a certain size and a variable surface charge density depending on pH and salt concentration. With double-layer models for such particles, the electrostatic effects on the proton binding can be described reasonably well. When the density of the humic material is used as a constraint, the radius of the spheres or the cylinders is the only adjustable parameter in the model
