Relating dissolved organic matter fluorescence and functional properties

The fluorescence excitation–emission matrix properties of 25 dissolved organic matter samples from three rivers and one lake are analysed. All sites are sampled in duplicate, and the 25 samples include ten taken from the lake site, and nine from one of the rivers, to cover variations in dissolved organic matter composition due to season and river flow. Fluorescence properties are compared to the functional properties of the dissolved organic matter; the functional assays provide quantitative information on photochemical fading, buffering capacity, copper binding, benzo[a]pyrene binding, hydrophilicity and adsorption to alumina. Optical (absorbance and fluorescence) characterization of the dissolved organic matter samples demonstrates that (1) peak C (excitation 300–350 nm; emission 400–460 nm) fluorescence emission wavelength; (2) the ratio of peak T (excitation 220–235 nm; emission 330–370 nm) to peak C fluorescence intensity; and (3) the peak C fluorescence intensity: absorbance at 340 nm ratio have strong correlations with many of the functional assays. Strongest correlations are with benzo[a]pyrene binding, alumina adsorption, hydrophilicity and buffering capacity, and in many cases linear regression equations with a correlation coefficient >0.8 are obtained. These optical properties are independent of freshwater dissolved organic carbon concentration (for concentrations <10 mg L⁻¹) and therefore hold the potential for laboratory, field and on-line monitoring and prediction of organic matter functional properties.     

Characterization of binding site heterogeneity for copper within dissolved organic matter fractions using two-dimensional correlation fluorescence spectroscopy

The heterogeneity of copper binding characteristics for dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions was investigated based on the fluorescence quenching of the synchronous fluorescence spectra upon the addition of copper and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS). Hydrophobic acid (HoA) and hydrophilic (Hi) fractions of two different DOM (algal and leaf litter DOM) were used for this study. For both DOM, fluorescence quenching occurred at a wider range of wavelengths for the HoA fractions compared to the Hi fractions. The combined information of the synchronous and asynchronous maps derived from 2D-COS provided a clear picture of the heterogeneous distribution of the copper binding sites within each DOM fraction, which was not readily recognized by a simple comparison of the changes in the synchronous fluorescence spectra upon the addition of copper. For the algal DOM, higher stability constants were exhibited for the HoA versus the Hi fractions. The logarithms of the stability constants ranged from 4.8 to 6.1 and from 4.5 to 5.0 for the HoA and the Hi fractions of the algal DOM, respectively, depending on the associated wavelength and the fitted models. In contrast, no distinctive difference in the binding characteristics was found between the two fractions of the leaf litter DOM. This suggests that influences of the structural and chemical properties of DOM on copper binding may differ for DOM from different sources. The relative difference of the calculated stability constants within the DOM fractions were consistent with the sequential orders interpreted from the asynchronous 2D-COS. It is expected that 2D-COS will be widely applied to other DOM studies requiring detailed information on the heterogeneous nature and subsequent effects under a range of environmental conditions.

Fenton法降解垃圾渗滤液中的溶解性有机质

垃圾渗滤液是一种高浓度难降解废水,含有大量有毒物质和溶解性有机质（dissolved organic matter, DOM）,可生化性差。Fenton试剂（Fe2++H2O2）能产生活性极强的羟基自由基（·OH）,能快速氧化渗滤液中DOM和微量有机物质。本研究采用Fenton法处理垃圾渗滤液,结果表明,在优化的处理条件下,渗滤液COD和TOC去除率分别为65%和42%,其中混凝作用去除的COD和TOC分别为20%和21%。进一步通过紫外可见光谱扫描、SUVA254、E3/E4等指标评价,发现Fenton法可以有效降低渗滤液中的DOM含量,大分子有机物的含量明显减少,而分子量小的有机物含量相对增加,反应体系中溶解性有机物分子量随着反应的进行而降低,腐殖化程度降低。利用GC-MS定性出渗滤液原液中47种有机物,该类有机物在Fenton反应后上清液中未再检出,但5种物质（邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己）酯、植酮、角鲨烯、麥角甾烷醇和二氢胆固醇）在沉淀的铁泥中检出。研究发现不同pH值、H2O2和Fe2+浓度条件下,残留的COD与DOM、TOC和UV254存在显著的相关关系（R2> 0.9）。本研究结果为改进垃圾渗滤液处理工艺和探索DOM在Fenton过程中的降解行为提供科学依据。     

Diagnosis of dissolved organic matter removal by GAC treatment in biologically treated papermill effluents using advanced organic characterisation techniques

Granular activated carbon (GAC) exhaustion rates on pulp and paper effluent from South East Australia were found to be a factor of three higher (3.62 cf. 1.47 kg m⁻³) on Kraft mills compared to mills using Thermomechanical pulping supplemented by Recycled Fibre (TMP/RCF). Biological waste treatment at both mills resulted in a final effluent COD of 240 mg L⁻¹. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was only 1.2 times higher in the Kraft effluent (70 vs. 58 mg L⁻¹), however, GAC treatment of Kraft and TMP/RCF effluent was largely different on the DOC persisted after biological treatment. The molecular mass (636 vs. 534 g mol⁻¹) and aromaticity (5.35 vs. 4.67 L mg⁻¹ m⁻¹) of humic substances (HS) were slightly higher in the Kraft effluent. The HS aromaticity was decreased by a factor of 1.0 L mg⁻¹ m⁻¹ in both Kraft and TMP/RCF effluent. The molecular mass of the Kraft effluent increased by 50 g mol⁻¹ while the molecular mass of the TMP/RCF effluent was essentially unchanged after GAC treatment; the DOC removal efficiency of the GAC on Kraft effluent was biased towards the low molecular weight humic compounds. The rapid adsorption of this fraction, coupled with the slightly higher aromaticity of the humic components resulted in early breakthrough on the Kraft effluent. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrix analysis of the each GAC treated effluent indicated that the refractory components were higher molecular weight humics on the Kraft effluent and protein-like compounds on the TMP/RCF effluent. Although the GAC exhaustion rates are too high for an effective DOC removal option for biologically treated pulp and paper mill effluents, the study indicates that advanced organic characterisation techniques can be used to diagnose GAC performance on complex effluents with comparable bulk DOC and COD loads.     

Sorption of phenanthrene by dissolved organic matter and its complex with aluminum oxide nanoparticles

Intent of this study was to explore the potential application of polymerin, the polymeric, dissolved organic matter fraction from olive oil wastewaters, in technologies aimed at remediating hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) point-source pollution. Phenanthrene binding with polymerin was investigated. Moreover, the effect of addition of micro and nanoscale aluminum oxides (Al₂O₃) was studied, as well as sorption of polymerin on the oxides. Phenanthrene binding capacity by polymerin was notably higher than the sorption capacities for both types of Al₂O₃ particles. Polymerin sorption on nanoparticles was nearly 100 times higher than microparticles. In a three-phase system, using microparticles, higher phenanthrene sorption was found by adding into water polymerin, oxides and phenanthrene simultaneously. In contrast, using nanoparticles, a considerable enhancement of phenanthrene sorption was shown by adding phenanthrene to a pre-formed and dried polymerin-oxide complex. These findings support the application of polymerin, especially associated with Al₂O₃ nanoparticles, in remediation of water contaminated with HOCs. This work highlights the significant role of nanoparticles.     

白洋淀沉水植物腐解溶解性有机物与重金属的相互作用

针对白洋淀秋冬季节水生植物腐解释放大量溶解性有机物(DOM)的问题,利用紫外可见光谱(UV-Vis)和激发发射光谱(EEMs)结合平行因子分析法(PARAFAC)对DOM样品进行表征和分离。实验结果表明,PARAFAC共分离出4种组分(C1、C2、C3和C4),类腐殖酸组分C1和C2、类蛋白组分C3、含有类蛋白组分和类富里酸组分共同组成的C4。此外,对样品进行荧光淬灭滴定实验来研究DOM与重金属(Cu (Ⅱ)和Cd (Ⅱ))的相互作用,发现Cu (Ⅱ)对所有组分都存在明显的淬灭效果,并可以较好地拟合出络合常数(lgK),而Cd (Ⅱ)只与C4有较好的络合效果,这是由于C4中的类富里酸成分所造成的。研究进一步发现,样品U2中类蛋白组分C3和C4对重金属的淬灭效果比样品U0的类蛋白组分明显。这是由于样品U2中所添加的植物量较多,而植物腐解所释放的主要成分为类蛋白物质,有助于增强类蛋白组分的络合能力。研究结果可为科学评价水生植物腐解释放DOM对水体中重金属的迁移转化提供依据。     

Molecular characterisation of the dissolved organic matter of wastewater effluents by MSSV pyrolysis GC-MS and search for source markers

Microscale sealed vessel pyrolysis (MSSVpy) was used to characterise the hydrophobic (HPO) and colloid (COL) fractions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the effluents (EFFs) of two waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) and several primary source waters (SWs). The EFFs showed a large range of anthropogenically sourced organics - including the metabolites of industrial chemicals (e.g., dioxanes, n- and sec-alkyl substituted benzenes and long chain alkyl phenols), pharmaceuticals (e.g., N- and S-heterocycles) and human waste (e.g., S- and N-organics, steranes/sterenes) - as well as high concentrations of alkyl aromatic and N-organic products (e.g., alkyl indoles, carbazoles and β-carbolines) attributed to the treatment biota. Some anthropogenic chemicals are potentially toxic at even trace levels, whilst the N-organics may be precursors for toxic N-disinfection by-products. Much lower concentrations of just a few of the anthropogenic and N-organic products were detected by more traditional flash pyrolysis (Flash-py) of the EFF samples, reflecting the higher sensitivity of MSSVpy to many chemical functionalities. Few of these products were detected in the corresponding MSSVpy analysis of the SWs, but these samples did show relatively high abundances of lignin (e.g., alkylphenols) and carbohydrate (e.g., furans) derived products. Their lower EFF abundances are consistent with efficient removal by the water treatment procedures applied. Conversely, the detection of the anthropogenics in the treated EFFs reflects their general resistance to treatment. Their occurrence in the HPO fractions isolated by XAD resin separation suggests a potential relationship with the structurally stable macromolecular fraction of the DOM.     

典型南方水源溶解性有机物荧光特性变化与去除

于2014年4-9月,研究我国一典型南方水源溶解性有机物(DOM)的荧光特性变化与去除情况,同时分析了DOM荧光组分与三氯乙醛生成势(CHFP)的相关性。结果表明,该水源DOM主要以芳香性蛋白质类物质组成,溶解性微生物代谢产物类物质、富里酸类物质和腐殖酸类物质含量逐渐增加;5个荧光区域的积分体积(ΦⅠ,n、ΦⅡ,n、ΦⅢ,n、ΦⅣ,n和ΦⅤ,n)所占总体积(ΦT,n)平均比例依次为:13.55%、27.53%、25.00%、16.02%和17.91%;原水DOM的CHFP范围为27.06~81.20μg/L,平均值为46.60μg/L,三氯乙醛(CH)前体物含量与水体中溶解性微生物代谢产物类物质相关性最好;与常规处理工艺相比,O3/BAC深度处理工艺对于溶解性微生物代谢产物类物质的去除率大幅提高,更有利于CH的控制。     

Characterization of dissolved organic matter in the rhizosphere of hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii and its effect on the mobility of zinc

Pot experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the rhizosphere soil of hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) and a non-hyperaccumulating ecotype (NHE) of Sedum alfredii and its effects on the mobility of zinc (Zn). DOM was fractionated using XAD resins into six fractions. The acid fraction was the predominant component of DOM in the rhizosphere of S. alfredii, with hydrophilic acid (HiA), hydrophilic base (HiB), and hydrophilic neutral (HiN) in HE-DOM being 1.6, 1.9, and 1.2 times higher respectively, as compared to NHE-DOM. ATR-FTIR results showed that DOM in the rhizosphere of S. alfredii consisted of a mixture of hydroxylated and carboxylic acids, and HE-DOM exhibited more CO, OH, CC and CO functional groups than NHE-DOM. Resin equilibration experiment results indicated that DOM from the rhizosphere of both ecotypes of S. alfredii had the ability to form complexes with Zn, whereas the degree of complexation was significantly higher for HE-DOM (60%) than NHE-DOM (42%). The addition of HE-DOM significantly (P < 0.05) increased the solubility of four Zn minerals while NHE-DOM was not as effective at the same concentration. It was concluded that DOM derived from the rhizosphere of hyperaccumulating ecotype of S. alfredii could significantly increase Zn mobility through the formation of soluble DOM-metal complexes, this might be one of the important mechanism by which S. alfredii is involved in activating metal in rhizosphere.     

南水北调中线清河溶解性有机物的光降解行为

溶解性有机物(dissolved organic matter, DOM)在水环境中普遍存在,其光降解行为与种类和来源密切相关。近年来,南水北调中线工程沿线中DOM含量过高问题逐渐引起了人们对饮用水水源水质的关注。利用三维荧光光谱与紫外可见吸收光谱表征了清河段DOM在水(Water DOM, W-DOM)、底泥(sediment-derived DOM, S-DOM)、藻胞内(intracellular DOM, I-DOM)和胞外(extracellular DOM, E-DOM)这4种典型来源中的光学性质和光降解行为。结果表明,W-DOM的主要来源是藻类代谢产生的E-DOM;S-DOM的主要形成原因是藻细胞破裂释放I-DOM。DOM的光漂白主要发生在紫外区,且UV-B波段的光漂白效率大于UV-A波段。W-DOM、S-DOM和E-DOM中有色DOM(chromophoric DOM, CDOM)的降解率基本相同,为40%~50%;I-DOM中CDOM降解率相对较低,约为25%。光照可以将W-DOM、S-DOM和E-DOM中复杂的大分子物质分解成结构简单的小分子物质。CDOM中类腐殖质的光降解率比类蛋白质更高,W-DOM、S-DOM和E-DOM中CDOM与类腐殖质的光降解速率在相同时间下基本保持一致;S-DOM和E-DOM中CDOM与类蛋白质的光降解速率在相同时间下基本保持一致。以上结果反映了太阳辐射对水环境中DOM的转化和去除机理,为河流水质保护提供了理论依据。     

Effect of catchment land use and soil type on the concentration,quality, and bacterial degradation of riverine dissolved organic matter

We studied the effects of catchment characteristics (soil type and land use) on the concentration and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river water and on the bacterial degradation of terrestrial DOM. The share of organic soil was the strongest predictor of high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (DOC, DON, and DOP, respectively), and was linked to DOM quality. Soil type was more important than land use in determining the concentration and quality of riverine DOM. On average, 5–9 % of the DOC and 45 % of the DON were degraded by the bacterial communities within 2–3 months. Simultaneously, the proportion of humic-like compounds in the DOM pool increased. Bioavailable DON accounted for approximately one-third of the total bioavailable dissolved nitrogen, and thus, terrestrial DON can markedly contribute to the coastal plankton dynamics and support the heterotrophic food web.     

生物炭中溶解性有机质光催化降解罗丹明B

为了区分生物炭对有机物降解的因素,通过控制光照条件、气体氛围、 · OH淬灭等实验对生物炭降解有机染料罗丹明B(rhodamine-B, RhB)的过程进行了考察;采用元素分析、电子顺磁共振、总有机碳分析仪对生物炭颗粒、持久性自由基(environmental persistent free radicals, EPFRs)及溶解性有机质(dissolved organic matter, DOM)进行了表征测定;研究了不同实验条件下,不同热解温度制备的水稻秸秆生物炭对RhB的吸附和降解效果。结果表明：在200 ℃和500 ℃下所制备的生物炭中检测到明显的EPFRs信号,但其强度与RhB的降解程度不匹配;200 ℃制备的生物炭中DOM含量显著高于其他温度条件下制备的生物炭;在光降解实验中,紫外光能明显促进200 ℃生物炭对RhB降解;气体氛围实验进一步证明紫外光可诱导DOM与生物炭颗粒中EPFRs相互作用形成大量的活性氧组分(主要为$ {\rm{O}}_2^{ \cdot - }$),进而促进了其对RhB的降解。     

Enhancement effect of water associated with natural organic matter (NOM) on organic compound-NOM interactions: a case study with carbamazepine

Natural organic matter (NOM) in soils and sediments is recognized to strongly affect environmental distributions of organic compounds. Water associated with NOM may have a significant impact on NOM-organic compound interactions. The objectives of this research were (1) to determine the effect of hydration of a model NOM sorbent on interactions with a probe organic compound, carbamazepine (CBZ), and (2) based on the comparison with the literature data, to evaluate the effect of organic compound structure on the cooperative participation of water molecules in organic sorbate-NOM interactions. CBZ is one of the most widely reported water pollutants from the pharmaceutical and personal care products family. Therefore, CBZ sorption on Pahokee peat was compared from water and from n-hexadecane, using solubility-normalized solute concentrations. CBZ-NOM interactions were enhanced by one to two orders of magnitudes when NOM became fully hydrated. This enhancement is associated with the distinct ability of CBZ to undergo strong, specific interactions with NOM which was revealed by comparing the transfer of CBZ and another model sorbate, phenanthrene, from solution in n-hexadecane to the hydrated NOM sorbent. The enhancing effect of NOM hydration on CBZ-NOM interactions was also observed when CBZ sorption was examined on partially hydrated NOM. In comparison with a smaller-size organic sorbate such as phenol, CBZ needs more NOM-associated water in order to demonstrate the strengthening of interactions with NOM. Therefore, for penetration of the larger sorbate molecules into the NOM interior, a greater number of water molecules are needed to compensate for the local NOM disintegration thus suggesting the greater extent of the cooperativity in an involvement of water molecules in the CBZ-NOM interactions.     

Aniline and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene associate preferentially to low molecular weight fractions of dissolved soil organic matter

Aniline and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) were equilibrated with particulate (POM) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from an organic soil at different compositions of adsorbed major cations (Na, Al) and pH (aniline: 3.7–5.1, TNT: 4.8–5.0). After separation of POM, concentrations of ¹⁴C-labelled aniline and TNT* (including TNT degradation products) were determined in DOM size fractions using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and UV-detection. Concentrations in the <3.5 kDa size fraction were 2.8–6.0 and 8.5–9.5 times higher for aniline and TNT*, respectively, as compared to the >40 kDa fraction. Thus, both aniline and TNT* were preferentially associated to the smallest DOM size fraction. The significant binding to DOM (similar extent as to POM) and the fact that the <3.5 kDa DOM fraction was less susceptible to flocculation by major metals suggests that the mobility of aniline and TNT is highly affected by the solubility of soil organic matter.     

沉积物中溶解性有机质的垂直分布光谱特性

采用紫外光谱和三维荧光光谱结合平行因子分析（PARAFAC）方法对瀛湖沉积物中溶解有机质（dissolved organic matters,DOM）垂直分布的光谱特性进行了分析,利用荧光指数（fluorescence index,FI）、腐殖化指数（humification index,HIX）和生物源指数（biological index,BIX）解析了沉积物中DOM荧光组分、空间分布特征和来源。紫外光谱结果表明：瀛湖沉积物的UV254值在0.14~0.30之间,最大值出现在深度10~11 cm处,深层（20 cm以下深度）沉积物UV254值趋于稳定。A250/A365比值在3.69~9.98之间,均值为5.36,表明瀛湖沉积物DOM以富里酸为主。三维荧光光谱结合平行因子分析结果表明：沉积物DOM包含3类4个荧光组分,即类腐殖质组分（C1和C2）、类蛋白组分（C3和C4）,其中,类腐殖质组分的荧光强度约占全部组分荧光强度的60.7%;随着深度的增加,3个采样点的类蛋白质组分（C3和C4）的荧光强度均呈现下降趋势。FI、HIX和BIX都表明瀛湖沉积物DOM的来源主要是由沉积物中自生微生物活动产生。其中,FI在1.73~2.10范围内,BIX处于0.72~0.96范围内,HIX在1.39~4.72范围内。     

河道藻源胞内有机质光化学-生物降解机制

藻细胞破裂后会向水体释放大量的胞内有机质 (intracellular dissolved organic matter, I-DOM) 。I-DOM在河道中将经历复杂的光降解和生物降解过程,影响其在河道中的迁移转化和环境效应。为了探明光照和微生物对I-DOM的降解机制,开展了光降解、生物降解和光-生物降解实验。结果表明,I-DOM经7 d光降解和生物降解后,溶解性有机碳 (dissolved organic carbon, DOC) 的去除率分别为70%和81%;虽然光照1 d能去除38%的DOC,但后续生物降解 (光-生物降解) 与无光照生物降解对DOC的去除效率一致。进一步的研究表明,生物降解过程中的呼吸商 (respiratory quotient, RQ) 低于光-生物降解过程,说明相比于生物降解过程,光-生物降解过程中经光照后生物呼吸时所利用I-DOM的性质发生了改变,进而影响了生物呼吸时O₂的消耗和CO₂的产生。生物降解过程中微生物主要利用原始的I-DOM分子;而在光-生物降解过程中,生物降解过程的微生物主要利用经光降解转化后的I-DOM分子。光-生物降解过程中,光照消耗了I-DOM中可生物降解的脂质、蛋白质和木质素类组分,导致I-DOM的生物降解效率降低;同时,光照将I-DOM中的大分子物质分解成高O/C的小分子物质,使微生物代谢需要的O₂减少,小分子物质则更易被生物降解矿化生成CO₂,导致RQ升高。本研究结果可为河道水质调控提供参考。     

Interaction of bisphenol A with dissolved organic matter in extractive and adsorptive removal processes

The fate of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in natural and engineered systems is complicated due to their interactions with various water constituents. This study investigated the interaction of bisphenol A (BPA) with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and colloids present in surface water and secondary effluent as well as its adsorptive removal by powdered activated carbons. The solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) method followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized for determining the distribution of BPA molecules in water. The BPA removal by SPME decreased with the increased DOM content, where the formation of BPA-DOM complexes in an aqueous matrix was responsible for the reduced extraction of BPA. Colloidal particles in water samples sorbed BPA leading to the marked reduction of liquid phase BPA. BPA-DOM complexes had a negative impact on the adsorptive removal of BPA by powered activated carbons. The complex formation was characterized based on Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, along with the calculation of molecular interactions between BPA and functional groups in DOM. It was found that the hydrogen bonding between DOM and BPA would be preferred over aromatic interactions. A pseudo-equilibrium molecular coordination model for the complexation between a BPA molecule and a hydroxyl group of the DOM was developed, which enabled estimation of the maximum sorption site and complex formation constant as well as prediction of organic complexes at various DOM levels.     

Quantifying interactions between propranolol and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from different sources using fluorescence spectroscopy

Beta blockers are widely used pharmaceuticals that have been detected in the environment. Interactions between beta blockers and dissolved organic matter (DOM) may mutually alter their environmental behaviors. To assess this potential, propranolol (PRO) was used as a model beta blocker to quantify the complexation with DOM from different sources using the fluorescence quenching titration method. The sources of studied DOM samples were identified by excitation–emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMs) combined with fluorescence regional integration analysis. The results show that PRO intrinsic fluorescence was statically quenched by DOM addition. The resulting binding constants (log K _oc) ranged from 3.90 to 5.20, with the surface-water-filtered DOM samples claiming the lower log K _oc and HA having the highest log K _oc. Log K _oc is negatively correlated with the fluorescence index, biological index, and the percent fluorescence response (P _i,n) of protein-like region (P _I,n) and the P _i,n of microbial byproduct-like region (P _II,n) of DOM EEMs, while it is correlated positively with humification index and the P _i,n of UVC humic-like region (P _III,n). These results indicate that DOM samples from allochthonous materials rich in aromatic and humic-like components would strongly bind PRO in aquatic systems, and autochthonous DOM containing high protein-like components would bind PRO more weakly.     

pH和溶解性有机质对磺胺甲恶唑光降解的影响

为了考察pH和溶解性有机质(DOM)对磺胺甲恶唑(SMX)自然光降解的影响,采用光化学反应器对SMX降解过程进行模拟实验,并利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)和三维荧光光谱(3DEEM)对腐殖酸进行表征。结果表明：SMX光解过程符合准一级反应动力学方程,在中等酸性条件下反应速率明显高于中性或碱性条件;添加不同浓度的Pahokee泥炭腐殖酸(PPHA)和Sigma-Aldrich腐殖酸(SigHA)时,均对SMX的光降解产生了不同程度的抑制作用;FT-IR检测发现,PPHA与SigHA均含有含氧官能团,具有一定的还原能力,3DEEM显示PPHA具有荧光特性,可能和SMX结合生成配合物。pH影响SMX的光解与物质本身的酸离解常数有关,对光子的竞争、淬灭作用和掩蔽效应可能是PPHA和SigHA对SMX光降解抑制作用的主要原因。
