Developments in the liquid micro-extraction of trace metals from aqueous phases have proven to be limited when extended from pure water to more complex and demanding matrices such as sea water or wastewater treatment effluents. To establish a system that works under such matrices, we successfully tested three task-specific ionic liquids, namely trihexyltetradecyl- phosphonium-, methyltrioctylphosphonium- and methyltrioctylammonium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate in two-phase solvent bar micro-extraction (SBME) experiments. We describe the influence of pH, organic additives, time, stirring rate and volume of ionic liquid for multi-elemental micro-extraction of Cu, Ag, Cd and Pb from various synthetic and natural aqueous feed solutions. Highest extraction for all metals was achieved at pH 8.0. Minimal leaching of the ionic liquids into the aqueous phase was demonstrated, with values < 30 mg L−1 DOC in all cases. Sample salinities of up to 60 g L−1 NaCl had a positive effect on the extraction of Cd, possibly due to an efficient extraction mechanism of the present chlorido complexes. In metal-spiked natural feed solutions, the selected SBME setups showed unchanged stability under all conditions tested. We could efficiently (≥85%) extract Cu and Ag from drinking water and achieved high efficacies for Ag and Cd from natural sea water and hypersaline water, respectively. The method presented here proves to be a useful tool for an efficient SBME of heavy metals from natural waters without the need to pretreat or modify the sample.

The spectral absorption of light (350–650 mμ) by pure water and bay of Fundy water was determined by means of a quartz spectrograph, Nicol prisms, and tubes of water of varying lengths up to 5 metres. The sun at noon on clear days was used as the source of radiation, its constancy being checked by means of a pyrheliometer. The tubes and spectrograph were placed in an equatorial mounting and the radiation from the sun controlled by a heliostat mirror. The results in the visible for distilled water agree with those of other workers. There appears to be a surprising difference in the absorption of ultra-violet between distilled water and natural waters. Less than 0.5 per cent of the near ultra-violet was transmitted by 1 metre of one of the samples of sea-water. A number of applications of the above method have been suggested.

The possibility of dissolved organic compounds acting as complexing or chelating agents in natural waters has received considerable attention in the last two to three decades. Stumm & Morgan (1970) have expressed doubts about the existence of humicmetal ion complexes in natural waters. Strickland (1972) has also stated that although the addition of chelating agents to sea water often improved the growth of phytoplankton, there was little evidence that the function of dissolved organic matter in oceans and lakes was to complex metals so as to increase or decrease their availability to phytoplankton. Strickland argued that even if all dissolved organic carbon were present as a compound of strong complexing ability it would not be able to compete for most metals with inorganic ligands such as chloride, sulphate and hydroxide. However, there is an increasing amount of data indicating that metals in natural waters may exist in chelated forms with dissolved organic matter (see, for example, Davey, Morgan & Erickson, 1973; Chau & Lum-Shue-Chan, 1974).

Abstract Peak area instead of peak height is used for the simultaneous determination of Cu(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) in fresh and sea water in the presence of anionic and cationic surfactants by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. These species, if present, tend to make more irreversible the electrodic process of the metals. Because the employment of peak area for species having irreversible electrodic processes permits limits of detection about one or 2 orders of magnitude lower, this work shows the possibility of determining heavy metals at ultratrace level concentrations in the presence of surfactants, compounds which are always present in natural waters. The precision and accuracy of the analytical method were checked by the analysis of the standard reference materials (SRM) Fresh Water NIST-SRM 1643d, Sea Water BCR-CRM 403, and Estuarine Water BCR-CRM 505. The former, expressed as relative standard deviation (sr), and the latter, expressed as relative error (e), were satisfactory, being in all cases lower than 5%. The analytical procedure has been applied to fresh and sea water sampled in the Po river mouth area (Italy).

Pure mineral magnesium silicates are amongst the most difficult substances to decompose by naturally occurring agents. Pure water exerts no chemical action on them, neither does water containing carbonic acid gas, even although the latter body be present to the point of saturation. Fresh spring, river, or lake waters containing alkaline carbonates in solution are also, as my experiments prove, totally unable to decompose pure natural silicate of magnesia. Of course, it must be remembered that the amount of alkaline carbonate in natural waters is very small.

Studying of methane formation and distribution in natural waters is important for understanding of biogeochemical processes of carbon cycle, searching for oil and gas sections and evaluation of CH4 emissions for investigations of greenhouse effect. The Black Sea is the largest methane water body on our planet. However, relatively low values of methane concentration (closed to equilibrium with the atmospheric air) are typical of the upper aerobic layer. At the same time, the distribution pattern of CH4 in surface waters of coastal areas is complicated by the influence of coastal biological productivity, continental runoff, bottom sources, hydrodynamic processes and anthropogenic effect. The investigation is focused on the spatial variability of dissolved methane in the surface layer of the sea in coastal regions affected by the continental runoff and anthropogenic pressure. Unique in situ data on methane concentrations were collected along the ship track on 2 sections between Sochi and Gelendzhik (2013, 2014) and 2 sections between Gelendzhik and Feodosia (2015). Overall 170 samples were obtained. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the samples revealed increase of CH4 saturation in the southeastern part of the Crimean shelf and the Kerch Strait area. Such a pattern was apparently caused by the influence of the Azov Sea water spread westward along the Crimean shore from the strait.

Sewage Sludges

Soil is a powerful and active absorber of many substances, assumes the pressure of industrial and municipal emissions and waste, and performs the important role of a buffer and a detoxicant. It accumulates heavy metals, pesticides, hydrocarbons and other chemical polluting substances and due to the soil absorbing complex (SAC) strongly captures and protects natural waters and the atmosphere from harm. Applying sewage sludges in our research will enable us to strengthen the capacity of SAC and to reduce the toxicity of heavy metals when they enter a reservoir via a drain from anthropogenically polluted territory.

Examination of individual degradation paths (biodegradation and photolysis) of butyltin compounds (especially tributyltin: TBT) in natural waters was performed. Biodegradation of TBT and dibutyltin (DBT) in an unfiltered sea water in summer is rather fast; their half life is about a week. But pretreatment with glass fiber filter makes the half life of TBT much longer (about 80 days). Photolysis of TBT in sea water by sun light is rapid (half life is about 0.5 days), and faster than in distilled water or in fresh water. Degradation rates of each process for TBT are calculated in various conditions of sea water, and contribution rates are compared. Biodegradation will be the main degradation process in an “SS-rich” area such as a marina, but photolysis will exceed that in a “clean” area. Over all half lives of TBT in sea water vary from 6 days to 127 days considering seasons and presence of SS.
