Water solubility enhancement of DDT by humic acid and extracellular organic matter of aquatic algae

摘要

The water solubility enhancement of 2,4'-DDT and 4,4'-DDT by humic acid and extracellular organic matter released from Microcystis aeruginosa was investigated by a ingenious sampling method and increasing apparent solute solubilities. Water solubility enhancements of the two DDT isomerizes by both humic acid and extracellular organic matter at the solution pH 7-11, and their solubilities increased with the increase of pH. Absorption coefficients Ci_w (2,4'-DDT and 4,4'-DDT) increased with the increase of pH for HA and EOM, but C_(iw) for EOM are about two times than for HA at same TOC concentrations. The results suggested that more attentions should be paid to the enhancement of organic chemicals by EOM, especially in eutrophic water body where an increasing algae population usually appears, and the enhancement of DDT solubility by EOM may increase the risk of pesticide residues to organisms.
