The decomposition of the polynuclear Keggin Al13species (Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)127+or Al13) has been examined as a function of pH (2.06 ≤ pH ≤ 3.50), ionic strength (I = 0.1 and 1.0) and temperature (10°C ≤ T ≤ 65°C) using batch and flow-through reactors. The overall decomposition rates were found to be positively correlated with the activity of H+, ionic strength and temperature with half-lives ranging from 350 to 43,000 s. The decomposition rate was interpreted as a function of two parallel reactions, one first-order and one second-order with respect to [H+] − d[A113] dt =R1+R2(1) where R1= k1[H+] [Al13] and R2= k2[H+]2[Al13]. For 25°C and I = 0.1, the rate constants k1and k2were determined as 0.0333 ± 0.0016 M−1s−1and 2.59 ± 0.62 M−2s−1, respectively. The activation energies and the Arrhenius factors for an ionic strength of 1.0 were found to be Ea1= 13.3 ± 1.9 kJ mol−1, Ea2= 44.9 ± 4.9 kJ mol−1, A1(I=1.0)= 25.2 ± 19.2 M−1s−1, A2(I=1.0)= 1.62 109± 3.12 109M−2s−1. While Ea1and Ea2do not depend on the ionic strength, the Arrhenius factors for I = 0.1 were obtained as A1(I=0.1)= 7.23 ± 0.19 M−1s−1and A2(I=0.1)= 1.86 108± 1.9 107M−2s−1. The apparent charge of the Al13complex in the encounter reaction with a hydronium ion was calculated from the Arrhenius factors at various ionic strengths as 0.78. We postulate Al13with a protonated bridging OH group as the precursor for the decomposition reaction, first-order in [H+]. The low value of the activation energy for the one-proton pathway is explained by an exothermic formation of the precursor HAl138+. The larger value of Ea2indicates that the formation of a precursor with two adjacent protonated sites involves a positive reaction enthalpy. The half-life of several hundred hours at pH 5 indicates that Al13may exist in natural waters, however, it may also be subject to continuous decomposition and reformation.
