Dissolved organic matter (DOM) greatly influences the transformation of nutrients and pollutants in the environment. To investigate the effects of pyrolysis temperatures on the composition and evolution of pyroligneous acid (PA)-derived DOM, DOM solutions extracted from a series of PA derived from eucalyptus at five pyrolysis temperature ranges (240–420 °C) were analysed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Results showed that the dissolved organic carbon content sharply increased (p < 0.05) with an increase in pyrolysis temperature. Analysis of the dissolved organic matter composition showed that humic-acid-like substances (71.34–100%) dominated and other fluorescent components (i.e., fulvic-acid-like, soluble microbial by-products, and proteinlike substances) disappeared at high temperatures (>370 °C). The results of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopic analysis suggested that with increasing pyrolysis temperatures, the humic-acid-like substances became more sensitive than other fluorescent components. This study provides valuable information on the characteristic evolution of PA-derived DOM.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) may do harms to human beings. After disinfected by chlorine (amine), DOM can form disinfection by-products (DBPs) which can be mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic. Characterization and source of trihalomethane precursors in the secondary effluent by sequencing batch reactors were investigated. CHCl3 was the primary DBPs. The results showed that the precursors of CHCl3 were mainly strongly hydrophobic DOM, while CHCl2Br and CHClBr2 were mainly formed from hydrophilic DOM. The effects of different powder media (activated carbon, zeolite) on removal of DOM were compared. The results showed that the dosing of powder media can promote the removal of DOM and the DBPs precursors.

The temperature sensitivity of multiple carbon (C) pools in the soil plays an important role in the C cycle and potential feedback to climate change. The aim of this study was to investigate the temperature sensitivity of different biochars in soil to better understand the temperature sensitivity of different soil C pools. Biochars were prepared using sugarcane residue at temperatures of 300, 500 and 800°C (representing different C pools) and C skeletons (representing the refractory C pool in biochar) were obtained from each biochar. The sugarcane residue, biochars and C skeletons were used as amendments in a simulated soil with microbes but without organic matter. The temperature sensitivity of the amended soils was characterised by their mineralisation rate changes in response to ambient temperatures. The temperature sensitivity of treatments with relatively refractory biochars was higher than that with labile biochars. The temperature sensitivity of treatments with biochars was lower than for their corresponding C skeletons. The different temperature sensitivity of treatments was attributable to the different internal C structures (i.e. the functional groups of C=C and aromatic structure) of amendments, determining the biodegradability of substrates. Dissolved organic matter and microbial enzyme activity of biochars were lower than those of corresponding C skeletons, and decreased with increasing pyrolysis temperature. The temperature sensitivities of treatments with biochars, C skeletons and sugarcane residue were negatively correlated with the properties of dissolved organic matter and microbial enzyme activities (especially dehydrogenase) in soil.

Abstract In a systematic study the organic carbon content of typical Germ an soils was studied by solid state C-13 CPM AS spectroscopy.In order to check the quantitative validity of the standard sodium hydroxide extraction procedure, which fractionates soil organic matter into hum in, humic acid, and fulvic acid also the high resolution solid state spectra of these fractions were determined.The chemical information obtained from these spectra is discussed.

AbstractFew studies have sought to investigate the potential for dissolved organic matter (DOM) to bind (and thus potentially transport) radionuclides under the high pH regimes that are expected in cementitious disposal. We have used equilibrium dialysis to investigate uranyl binding to humic acid over a pH range of ∼10 to 13. The experimental results provide evidence that DOM can bind uranyl ions over this pH range, including in the presence of competing ions. There is a general decrease in binding with increasing pH, from ∼80% of total uranyl bound at pH 9.8 to ∼10% at pH 12.9. Modelling of the system with WHAM/Model VII can yield representative results up to pH ∼10.5.
