Rapid reaction of nanomolar Mn(II) with superoxide radical in seawater and simulated freshwater

January 1, 2011

Superoxide radical (O2) has been proposed to be an important participant in oxidation−reduction reactions of metal ions in natural waters. Here, we studied the reaction of nanomolar Mn(II) with O2 in seawater and simulated freshwater, using chemiluminescence detection of O2 to quantify the effect of Mn(II) on the decay kinetics of O2. With 3−24 nM added [Mn(II)] and
