چکیده
Iron (Fe) oxyhydroxide colloids facilitate the transport of organic matter, oxyanions and trace metals in environment. This study was set up to compare sizes Fe-organic carbon (OC) formed by oxidation Fe(II) presence different concentrations Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (NOM) evaluate how variable dissolved (DOC) Fe ratios impact binding phosphate. The molar DOC/Fe ratio test solutions varied cover range environmental freshwaters. Low levels phosphate (3.2 µM PO4, P/Fe 0.036) were either present during coprecipitation together with NOM or equilibrated Fe-OC post-synthesis. suspended analysed Flow Field Fractionation (FlFFF-UV-ICP-MS) radiolabeled orthophosphate 32PO4 used detection P. Decreasing consistently increased colloid size both absence PO4 formation. Over a wide (10–1400), very small (<10 nm). Further decreasing yielded larger until limit for stability reached (DOC/Fe ≤ 1). PO4/Fe factor 2–3 among colloids. Within 1–20 nm at high ratio, measured OC/Fe decreased 100 increasing size, suggesting surface area controlled sorption NOM. By contrast, dependent PO4/NOM competition on surfaces that can be explained steric interactions. Thus, enhances mobility formation OM-Fe-PO4 complexes but highest proportion adsorbed largest and, likely, least mobile particles.

Role of organic matter, clay, and iron contents in the sorption of oxytetracycline on river sediments
Background: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely-used antibiotic; metabolism studies indicate only partial assimilation of it inside the body. Traditional wastewater treatment plants cannot remove OTC, and this results in the release of considerable amounts of the drug into aquatic environments. There is much concern over the role of residual antibiotics in the development of new generations of ba...
متن کاملMobility of Dissolved Organic Matter from the Suwannee River (Georgia, USA) in Sand-Packed Columns.
Transport of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the Suwannee River and of synthetic polystyrene sulfonates (PSSs) was investigated in columns packed with naturally Fe/Al-oxide-coated sands from Oyster, Virginia. Surface-water samples were collected in May 2012 and processed by XAD-8 (humic substances; HPOA), XAD-4 (transphilic acids [TPIAs]), and reverse osmosis (broad range of components; NOM...
متن کاملRemoval of natural organic matter from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation
Natural organic matter (NOM) affects some qualitative parameters of water such as color. In addition, it can deteriorate the performance of water treatment process including coagulation, adsorption, and membranes. NOM also reacts with chlorine in the chlorination process and may form disinfection by-products. The present study was carried out in laboratory-scale in a batch system using a cylind...
متن کاملProposed Guidelines for Solid Phase Extraction of Suwannee River Dissolved Organic Matter.
This paper proposes improved guidelines for dissolved organic matter (DOM) isolation by solid phase extraction (SPE) with a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (PPL) sorbent, which has become an established method for the isolation of DOM from natural waters, because of its ease of application and appreciable carbon recovery. Suwannee River water was selected to systematically study the effects of...
متن کاملCalcium carbonate concretions formed by the decomposition of organic matter.
Bacterial decomposition of butterfish and smelts in small sealed jars containing seawater and other solutions, for periods ranging from 65 to 205 days, results in a large increase in concentrations of dissolved bicarbonate, carbonate, and ammonia (plus volatile amines). Accompanying this is a rise in pH and the precipitation of Ca(++) ion from solution. The Ca(++) is not precipitated as CaCO(3)...
