Humic substances are characterized by a variable electric potential and by a variety of binding sites leading to chemical heterogeneity. Binding of ions to these substances is influenced by both factors. A methodology based on acid—base titrations at several salt levels is presented that allows for the assessment of an appropriate electrostatic double-layer model and the intrinsic proton affinity distribution. The double-layer model is used for the conversion of pH to pHSfor each data point, where HSis the proton concentration in the diffuse layer near the binding site. It is shown that with an appropriate double-layer model the proton binding curves at different salt levels converge into one “master curve” when plotted as a function of pHS. The intrinsic proton affinity distribution can then be derived from the “master curve” using the LOGA method. A rigorous analysis of metal binding to humic substances is complex and in practice is not feasible. Under two different (simplifying) assumptions, namely fully coupled and uncoupled binding, it is shown how intrinsic metal ion affinity distributions can be obtained. Model calculations show that apparent metal ion affinity distributions do not resemble the intrinsic metal ion affinity distribution.
