摘要
The efficiency of a new procedure for the digestion of natural waters, based on a microwave-activated photochemical reactor was evaluated in this work. Fluorescence spectra showed a 99% reduction in the emission of a 40 mg L-1 humic acid solution after 15 min of UV irradiation. In the presence of H2O2, only 3 min were necessary to accomplish a reduction of almost 100% in the emission and 6 min to reduce the concentration of dissolved organic carbon by 95%. The copper recovery from synthetic samples containing commercial humic acid, from soil suspensions, as well as from natural waters varied between 91.5 and 106.6%. The digestion of dissolved and unfiltered samples was successfully accomplished in 6 and 12 min, respectively. No contaminations or sample losses were observed. Results of copper speciation in natural waters showed that this metal is predominantly bound to natural ligands. Only 3-6% of the total recoverable copper is present in the labile form.
