Abstract: | Abstract Extracted aquatic fulvic acid samples (HO10FA) from a brown lake Hohloh in the Black Forest (Germany) were ozonated at two different ozone doses and then chlorinated. In connection with liquid chromatography and further detection systems (UV and DOC) on gel matrix, a combined system (gel chromatograpy) was used for a detailed characterization of ozonated and post-chlorinated fulvic acid samples. The gel chromatographic characterization showed a slight decrease in DOC (14%) and SAC254 (36%) at the end of 20 min ozonation whereas the low ozonation time (5 min) caused increases in DOC (6%) and SAC254 (56%). |
