Surface complexation of carboxylate adheres Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts to the hematite-water interface

Abstract:

The interaction of viable Cryptosporidium parvum ??ocysts at the hematite (??-Fe₂O₃)-water interface was examined over a wide range in solution chemistry using in situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Spectra for hematite-sorbed ??ocysts showed distinctchangesin carboxylate group vibrations relative to spectra obtained in the absence of hematite, indicative of direct chemical bonding between carboxylate groups and Fe metal centers of the hematite surface. The data also indicate that complexation modes vary with solution chemistry. In NaCl solution, ??ocysts are bound to hematite via monodentate and binuclear bidentate complexes. The former predominates at low pH, whereas the latter becomes increasingly prevalent with increasing pH. In a CaCl₂ solution, only binuclear bidentate complexes are observed. When solution pH is above the point of zero net proton charge (PZNPC) of hematite, ??ocyst surface carboxylate groups are bound to the mineral surface via outer-sphere complexes in both electrolyte solutions. ?? 2009 American Chemical Society.
