In our laboratory experiments we investigated whether some of them, e.g., starch or peptone, and also a complex yeast biomass can be transformed into humic-like substances by natural assemblages and some pure cultures of aquatic microorganisms. After a 6 months incubation most of the cultural media enriched with those natural organic substrates turned dark in color and humic-like substances (HS) could be isolated. However, the original substrate organic carbon was mainly mineralized in microbial cultures, and only about 3 % C was converted into HS. Total yields of HS differed in dependence of the individual substrate used (peptone > yeast > starch), the origin of inoculum (river > lake > groundwater), and the incubation temperature (20°C > 10°C). According to their elemental composition, and their spectroscopical and electrophoretic characteristics the microbially formed HS resembled natural aquatic humic matter, but were higher in aliphatic constituents (carbohydrates, peptides) and lower in aromatic structures. HS-like substances were also obtained from pure cultures of a bacterium Bacillus sphaericus and a fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides. The 13 C and 15 N isotopic contents of the microbially produced HS differed in dependence on the microbial inoculum and the type of organic substrates used, but in general they indicated anabolic processes to be mainly responsible for the humification of the simple organic substrates used in our experiments.","PeriodicalId":7010,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrochimica Et Hydrobiologica","volume":"54 1","pages":"200-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83622954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rate constant related to the crystal surface per volume was found to be independend of the crystal size. The effect of temperature on the rate constant was described using the Arrhenius equation. The use of suspension of lime as precipitating agent leads to decrease of the rate constant compared to lime water. This effect can be explained by the dissolution of suspended calcium hydroxide particles. Using the presented conditions (SI0 = 2.8), no impact of iron and manganese ions was observed. Einflus von Eisen- und Manganionen auf die Kristallisationsgeschwindigkeit von Calciumcarbonat In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Untersuchungen zur Kristallisationsgeschwindigkeit von Calciumcarbonat vorgestellt. Es wurden Versuche mit Kristallen unterschiedlicher Grose im Bereich zwischen 10 und 50 μm fur Konzentrationen zwischen 5 und 50 g·L−1 durchgefuhrt. Es zeigte sich, das die auf die Oberflache pro Volumen bezogene Geschwindigkeitskonstante unabhangig von der Kristallgrose ist. Die Abhangigkeit der Geschwindigkeitskonstante von der Temperatur konnte mit der Arrhenius-Gleichung beschrieben werden. Im Vergleich zum Kalkwasser wird die Geschwindigkeit der Kristallisation durch die Verwendung von Kalkmilch erheblich verlangsamt, da das suspendierte Calciumhydroxid zunachst gelost werden mus.

Substances of the triazines and phenoxyalkanecarboxylic acid group analyzed within the programme represent the major part of the total amount of herbicides applied. The most detected pesticides were atrazine and its metabolite deethylatrazine.

Die Aufbereitung von Bodenseewasser mit Ozon verringerte die Bildung der DNP um 35% und der adsorbierbaren organisch gebundenen Halogene (AOX) um 45%. Die Abnahme der DNP-Summe beruht im wesentlichen auf der Verringerung der Chloroform-, Dichloressigsaure- und Trichloressigsaurebildung. Obwohl das Wasser des Bodensees einen Bromidgehalt von nur 6.2 μg/L hat, lagen nach der Chlorung von aufbereitetem Wasser 32% der THM, 16% der HES und 30% der HAN in Form ihrer bromhaltigen Verbindungen vor. Bei einer Chlorung des Wassers wurde durch zudotiertes Bromid (bis zu 1 mg/L) die DNP-Zusammensetzung zugunsten der bromierten Verbindungen verschoben, wobei die Verschiebung im wesentlichen vom Stoffmengenverhaltnis des Bromids zum Hypochlorit abhing. Ein mathematisches Modell zur Beschreibung der Veranderungen in der DNP-Zusammensetzung mit steigendem Br/HOCl-Stoffmengenverhaltnis zeigte eine gute Ubereinstimmung mit den gemessenen Werten fur mikrogesiebtes Rohwasser und fur aufbereitetes Trinkwasser aus dem Bodensee. Nach der Chlorung von mikrogesiebtem Rohwasser reagierten 27% des Bromids zu den nachgewiesenen DNP, 39% wurden nicht umgesetzt und 34% des Bromids befanden sich in unbekannten Verbindungen. Wird aufbereitetes Wasser gechlort, so wurden nur noch 16% des Bromids in unbekannte Verbindungen eingebaut, wahrend 34% in den bekannten DNP wiedergefunden und 50% nicht umgesetzt wurden. Auch bei Bromidzugaben (bis zu 25 μg/L) zu ozontem und aufbereitetem Wasser hat das nach der Chlorung umgesetzte Bromid zu 60 bis 72% zu den nachgewiesenen niedermolekularen halogenorganischen DNP reagiert.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of bromide ion on the distribution of DNP-species resulting from chlorination and to draw up a bromide mass-balance. The treatment of water from Lake Constance with ozone decreased the formation of DNP about 35% and of total organic halogens (AOX) about 45%.

In batch tests with a solid/liquid ratio of 1:10, various aqueous solutions were composed, the solubilizing effect of which can be attributed to ubiquitous natural compounds (e. g., phospholipids, humic and carbonic acids). These solutions were evaluated in regard to the mobilization of PAHs, PCBs, and aliphatic hydrocarbons in soil and waste samples. The results were compared with batch tests containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the properties and applications of which are selected and optimized in order to simulate the chemical interactions between pollutant and solubilizing substances of natural sources. Under alkaline conditions, the part of eluated pollutants was high because of the release of humic substances indigenous to the sample. Low concentrations of phospholipids and humic acid could decrease the mobility of aliphatic hydrocarbons. The extend of HOC mobilization is affected by specific interdependences between solubilizing substances and reactive matter of the samples. For most samples, 5.0g/L concentrated SDS solution was able to simulate the most effective natural solutizer potential in regard to the mobilization of PAHs, PCBs, and aliphatic hydrocarbons within the system of batch tests. Whereas elution with pure water caused significant deviations in pollutant composition and too low yields, the use of SDS effected a good conformity. Modified in such a manner, the elution procedure can follow DIN 38414 part 4, when loss of pollutants will be minimized; e. g., centrifugation is needed to separate phases.","PeriodicalId":7010,"journal":{"name":"Acta Hydrochimica Et Hydrobiologica","volume":"257 1","pages":"242-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74920349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
