A chemical model that employs the photosensitization properties of methylene blue to mimic herbicide toxicity is used to test size separation as a method of chemical speciation. A spectrophotometric study of the dye interactions with the humic colloid indicated that the dye – humic acid complex has a weaker absorption spectrum than the free dye. The absorption spectra suggested that the binding sites on the humic acid are sufficiently isolated to prevent dye–dye interactions on the colloid surface. The dye photosensitization of tryptophan degradation indicated that only the free methylene blue was active in the presence of humic acid, clay, and polystyrene sulphonic acid. The model suggests that if the pollutant must be in true solution to be biologically active then a size separation by dialysis would be a satisfactory speciation procedure.

A model System composed of bentonite, humic acid (HA), polystyrene sulphonic acid (PSSA), methylene blue (MB), and paraquat was used to characterize the possible interactions of organocations in natural waters. The adsorption and desorption studies with bentonite indicated that the clay had a strong preference for the organocations over alkali and alkaline earth cations. Paraquat saturated the bentonite up to the cation exchange capacity whereas methylene blue did not completely saturate the clay but did form methylene blue aggregates on the clay surface. The aggregates could be readily removed by washing with distilled water. The organocation interactions with the anionic polyelectrolytes were more susceptible to changes in pH or ionic strength. Paraquat could be completely desorbed from HA and PSSA by raising the solution ionic strength to 0.1. Methylene blue could not be completely removed from the humic acid but could be removed from PSSA by raising the ionic strength to 0.1. The studies indicate that a combination of dialysis separations, variation of ionic strength, and spectrophotometric analysis could be used to determine the free paraquat and the bound paraquat susceptible to changes in environmental levels of pH and ionic strength.
