Abstract
Available equilibrium constant data for reactions of germanium with inorganic ligands in aqueous solution have been critically evaluated. Even though the relevant literature is sparse and mostly rather old, we have established a working thermodynamic description of germanium in aqueous, multicomponent media for its most important interactions with inorganic ligands. These thermodynamic parameters will be useful in environmental and (eco)toxicology studies. However, within the limitations of the presently available literature, significant uncertainties are inescapable. The implications for thermodynamic modelling in general are far-reaching.
期刊介绍：
Applied Geochemistry is an international journal devoted to publication of original research papers, rapid research communications and selected review papers in geochemistry and urban geochemistry which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavour, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal and the search for resources. Papers on applications of inorganic, organic and isotope geochemistry and geochemical processes are therefore welcome provided they meet the main criterion. Spatial and temporal monitoring case studies are only of interest to our international readership if they present new ideas of broad application.
Topics covered include: (1) Environmental geochemistry (including natural and anthropogenic aspects, and protection and remediation strategies); (2) Hydrogeochemistry (surface and groundwater); (3) Medical (urban) geochemistry; (4) The search for energy resources (in particular unconventional oil and gas or emerging metal resources); (5) Energy exploitation (in particular geothermal energy and CCS); (6) Upgrading of energy and mineral resources where there is a direct geochemical application; and (7) Waste disposal, including nuclear waste disposal.
