Resumo

OF INNER REARRANGEMENTS AFTER METAL IONS COMPLEXATION.The aquatic humic substances (AHS) investigated in this study were conventionally isolated from Rio Negro waters -Amazonas State/ Brazil by means of the collector XAD 8.A special five-stage tangential-flow ultrafiltration device was used for analytical fractionation of AHS.The fractionation patterns (6 fractions each) showed that metal traces remaining in AHS after their XAD 8 isolation have different size distributions.For instance, the major percentage of traces of Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb (determined using ICP-AES) was preferably complexed by molecules with relatively high molecular size (30-100 kDa) and the following complexation order was characterized: F 2 >> F 1 = F 4 = F 5 > F 3 > F 6 .Moreover, the species formed between AHS and metals prepared by spiking, showed distribution patterns changing as a function of the complexation time (ageing process), indicating a slow transformation process and an inner rearrangements in the binding sites within the AHS molecules.
