1 Analyses plan Module 19  Conductivity and temperature {H + } determined using pH electrode  UV/VIS MAS  Sample pre-treatment Sample filtration Sample filtration Total organic carbonTotal organic carbon Major anions and cations to be determined by ICMajor anions and cations to be determined by IC UV oxidation UV oxidation

2 Conductivity   Ecoscan Con5 (Eutech instruments) conductivity meter. The instrument is calibrated using 1000 and 1433 µS calibration solutions   The measurements are done for quality control purposes in order to compare measured and calculated conductivity

3 {H + } determined using pH electrode  Thermo Orion model 720 pH-meter with a Blueline 11-pH electrode. The pH-meter is calibrated with pH = 4.00 and 7.01 buffer solutions The pH-meter is calibrated with pH = 4.00 and 7.01 buffer solutions

4 Major anions and cations to be determined by Ion Chromatograph (IC)  Principle The sample is injected in a flow of eluentThe sample is injected in a flow of eluent The analyte ions are separated by different degree of binding to the active sites on the ion exchange materialThe analyte ions are separated by different degree of binding to the active sites on the ion exchange material Ions with opposite charge of the analyte is exchanged with H + or OH -Ions with opposite charge of the analyte is exchanged with H + or OH - The activity of the analyte along with H + or OH - in the eluent stream are measured by means of a conductometerThe activity of the analyte along with H + or OH - in the eluent stream are measured by means of a conductometer

5 Total organic carbon  Analytical chemistry lab Ø 104  High temperature (680ºC) catalytic combustion analysis on a Shimadzu TOC-5000A instrument  Principle: The organic carbon is combusted to CO 2 by high temperature and catalysis. The amount of CO 2 produced is measured using an IR detector The organic carbon is combusted to CO 2 by high temperature and catalysis. The amount of CO 2 produced is measured using an IR detector  Analytes measured may include: TC, IC, TOC, NPOC, and POC

6 Al fractionation  Fractionation of monomeric aluminium from polymeric forms is accomplished by 20 sec. complexation with 8-hydroxyquinoline at pH 8.3 with subsequent extraction into MIBK organic phase  Organic bound monomeric aluminium is separated from inorganic aluminium (mainly labile) by trapping the latter fraction on an Amberlight IR-120 ion exchange column  The Al concentrations in the organic extracts are determined photometrically Download manual from Download manual from http://folk.uio.no/rvogt/KJM_MEF_4010/http://folk.uio.no/rvogt/KJM_MEF_4010/

7 P fractionation - The oxidation by UV is intended to mimic the photooxidation occurring in the lake during ice free season. - Filtration through 0,45μm filter (or rather 0,2μm) filter removes algae.

8 P determination  - Orthophosphate reacts with ammoniummolybdate to a yellow-coloured phosphorousmolybdate acid, that is reduced with ascorbic acid in the presence of antimony to a strongly blue coloured complex. This colour is measured photometrically as described in Norwegian Standard (NS 4724). ammoniummolybdate

9 QC of data  After the analysis the data must be compiled and quality controlled by ion balance and agreement between measured and calculated conductivity  For this purpose you may use the Data compilation and QC worksheet available at http://folk.uio.no/rvogt/KJ M_MEF_4010/

11 Inorganic complexes  Major cations in natural waters H +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, Na +, K + H +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, Na +, K +  Common ligands in natural systems: OH -, HCO 3 -, CO 3 2-, Cl -, SO 4 2-, F - & organic anions OH -, HCO 3 -, CO 3 2-, Cl -, SO 4 2-, F - & organic anions In anoxic environment: HS - & S 2- In anoxic environment: HS - & S 2-  Dominating species in aerobic freshwater at pH 8 are:

12 Hydrolysis  In aqueous systems, hydrolysis reactions are important Hydrolysis reactions are controlled by {H + } Hydrolysis reactions are controlled by {H + } The higher the pH, the stronger the hydrolysis of metal cationsThe higher the pH, the stronger the hydrolysis of metal cations E.g. AluminiumE.g. Aluminium Al 3+ aq denotes Al(H 2 O) 6 3+Al 3+ aq denotes Al(H 2 O) 6 3+

13 Concentrations of dissolved Fe 3+ species Two total Fe concentrations, Fe T = 10 -4 M and Fe T = 10 -2 M
