Characterization of Natural Organic Matter Fractions by High Pressure Size-Exclusion Chromatography, Specific UV Absorbance and Total Luminescence Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The composition of isolated natural organic matter (NOM) fractions was studied by means of high pressure size-exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC), specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) at 254 nm, total luminescence spectroscopy (TLS) and synchronous scanning fluorescence measurements. The HPSEC, SUVA and TLS studies revealed that humic acids (HA) and hydrophobic acids (HOA) are composed of complex, aromatic and high molecular weight subunits. Hydrophobic neutrals (HON) consist of few groups of compounds with relatively low molecular sizes and a degree of condensed aromatic moieties. Similar characteristics were observed for hydrophilic acids (HIA) and bases (HIB). Obtained results also demonstrated that hydrophilic neutrals (HIN) are made of non-humic, aliphatic and low molecular weight components. Furthermore, the synchronous excitation-emission spectra indicated the presence of proteinlike constituents in HIB, HIN and HON fractions as well as lignin-derived constituents with relatively low molecular sizes in HIA.

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a major water constituent that affects the performance of drinking water treatment processes and the quality of drinking water. Besides, several studies have shown that NOM can be adsorbed on the surface of oxides being thereby able to compete with other ions. The overall goal of this study was essentially to investigate the competitive adsorption between fluorid...

To characterize organic nitrogen present in cattle manure compost, a hot-water extract of the compost along with an acid-insoluble (humic acid-like) fraction either treated with alkali or laccase or untreated were separated by size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC). Nitrogen was then detected by chemiluminescent nitrogen detection (CLND), and humic acid-like substances ...

Background and Aim: Natural organic matter (NOMs), measured on the basis of organic carbon, produces disinfection by-products precursors (DBPs) during the chlorination process. Some DBPs are carcinogenic. NOMs are not completely removed by conventional water treatment. As a result, in addition to forming DBPs, they support bacterial regrowth in the water distribution systems and cause unpleasan...
