Abstract
Abstract The quantification of Ni isotopic fractionation induced by Ni binding to organic acids is a preliminary step to better constrain the mechanisms determining Ni isotopic fingerprint observed in surface soils, waters and plants, as well as the contribution of metal recycling during plant litter degradation. In this study, Ni isotopic fraction induced by reaction with small organic acids, e.g. citric and oxalic acids, and with soil purified humic acids (PHA) was investigated at different Ni-L ratio and pH conditions. The Donnan Membrane Technique was used to separate Ni bound to organic ligands from the free metal. Obtained results highlighted that Ni binding with carboxylic groups produces, in the adopted experimental conditions, a Δ60Nibond-free
