Historically, Al-27-NMR spectroscopy has been required for definitive identification of the AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12(7+) polycation ("Al13"), but recent studies suggest that it might be equatable to the polynuclear Al fraction that exhibits a moderate reaction rate with the spectrophotometric ferron reagent (Alb). Our objectives were to further test this correspondence and to critically evaluate the ferron-Al13 reaction kinetics. Partially neutralized solutions were prepared with [Al]T = l0(-4)-10(-2) mol L-1, hydrolysis ratios of 0.8-2.4, and base injection rates of 0.2-20 mL h-1. These solutions were quantitatively analyzed using ferron and Al-27 NMR, and the results confirmed that the Alb fraction measured with ferron corresponds to Al13 in freshly prepared solutions. The apparent pseudo-first-order rate coefficient for the ferron-Al(b) reaction (k(b)) is dependent on the total ferron concentration in the reaction mixture. Examination of fitted k(b) values from this work and from some previous studies revealed that they are, if properly evaluated, indeed consistent and predictable, permitting near-certain identification of Al13. The ferron method thus offers a simple and inexpensive alternative to Al-27-NMR analyses and allows quantification of Al13 at concentrations 10-100-fold lower than presently analyzable by NMR, a concentration range pertinent to natural waters.
