The competing ligand exchange method was used to investigate the competitive binding of Ni(II) by Al(III) and Fe(III) in model aqueous solutions and freshwaters. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry and adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry were used to monitor the rate of uptake of the Ni by Chelex 100 chelating resin and dimethylglyoxime as the competing ligands, respectively. The results have revealed that Ni(II)-humate complexes were more labile in presence of the mixture of Al(III) and Fe(III), compared to the lability of the Ni(II)-humate complexes when only one of the two, Al(III) or Fe(III), was present. The environmental significance of this work is that in model solutions simulating freshwater containing humic substances and the target trace metal Ni(II) and cations, Al(III) and Fe(III), the competitive binding of Ni(II), Al(III) and Fe(III) by humic substances makes Ni(II)-humate complexes labile, releasing free Ni²⁺-aqua complex, which reported to be toxic.
