Metal speciation measurement by diffusive gradients in thin films technique with different binding phases

Since its invention in the mid-1990s, the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique has rapidly become one of the most promising in situ sampling techniques for trace metal measurement in natural waters. We investigated here the possibility of using DGT devices with different binding phases to determine different DGT labile fractions of Cd and Cu in laboratory solutions and in natural waters. Several binding phases were studied, including conventional Chelex 100 resin imbedded polyacrylamide hydrogel (Chelex) and several recently developed binding phases, poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PAM-PAA) gel, poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid-co-acrylamide) (PAAG-PAM) gel, Whatman P81 cellulose phosphate ion-exchange membrane (P81), and poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) aqueous solution. Laboratory testing in metal solutions spiked with EDTA or humic acid suggested that all the DGT devices measured only free metal ions and inorganic metal complexes. Upon field testing at both freshwater and seawater sites it was found that the DGT labile metal concentrations measured by different binding phases can be significantly different, suggesting that the DGT labile metal fractions were dependent on binding strength of the binding phase. By designing binding phases that can compete with different natural water complexing ligands to varying extents, it is possible to use these different DGT devices to measure metal speciation in natural waters.     

Speciation measurements of uranium in alkaline waters using diffusive gradients in thin films technique

This work investigated the application of diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT) to uranium speciation measurements in natural water. Two binding phases were examined, a commercially available affinity membrane, Whatman DE 81 (DE 81), with amino binding functional groups and the conventionally used Chelex 100 beads imbedded polyacrylamide hydrogel (Chelex) with iminodiacetate functional groups. The DGT devices assembled with the binding phases of DE 81 (DE 81 DGT) and Chelex gel (Chelex DGT) were tested both in synthetic river water solutions and in local river water. DE 81 DGT and Chelex DGT measured 80% and 75% of the total uranium in synthetic river water solution, respectively, and measured 73% and 60% of the total uranium in St. Lawrence River, Canada, respectively. The binding properties of the DE 81 membrane and Chelex gel for uranium, and the diffusion of uranyl complexes in the polyacrylamide gel (PAM) were also studied.     

Assessment of trace metal binding kinetics in the resin phase of diffusive gradients in thin films

The dynamic technique of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), that measures metal speciation in situ, has found wide environmental application. Simple interpretation of the metal accumulation in terms of a solution concentration has assumed that trace metals do not penetrate beyond the surface of the binding layer, but penetration, although theoretically discussed has not yet been directly measured. Multiple binding layers were used to enable analysis of different depths of a DGT binding phase (Chelex-100 or iminodiacetate resins). In simple metal solution (no ligand) at pH 7, metal penetration to the back layer was low and similar for all metals. However, at lower pH up to 42% of an individual metal accumulated in the back resin layer. This was most noticeable for Mn at pH 4 and 5, but Cd and Co were also affected at pH 4. These results were consistent with rate limited binding, particularly for Mn. A kinetic model successfully fitted the data and allowed derivation of a binding rate constant and the mean distance that metals penetrate into a resin gel (λ_M). Only for Mn, Co and Cd were experimentally derived λ_M values greater than the diameter of a Chelex-100 resin bead. For most situations, then, the penetration into the binding layer is negligible and binding of trace metal ions can be regarded as instantaneous, validating the simple use and interpretation of DGT. For weakly binding metals at low pH the slower binding allows penetration, which may affect the DGT measurement.     

Performance characteristics of suspended particulate reagent-iminodiacetate as a binding agent for diffusive gradients in thin films

The performance characteristics of an alternative binding agent, suspended particulate reagent-iminodiacetate (SPR-IDA), for use with DGT methodology were investigated. The parameters investigated during this study included gel hydration, blank levels, elution factor (f_e), capacity, the effects of pH on the binding of trace metals by DGT. The novel application of this resin for use as a quantitative standard for laser ablation ICP-MS was also evaluated. To further constrain the results for the SPR-IDA binding agent, parallel experiments were performed using resin gel containing Chelex 100, which has been widely reported in the literature. Hydration results showed that the SPR-IDA resin gel reached a stable dimension and weight within ∼30 min and was dimensionally stable for ≤6 months. The measured DGT blanks for the SPR-IDA resin were 0.0023, 0.15, 0.21, 0.0033 and 0.011 ng disc⁻¹ for Co, Ni, Cu, Cd and Pb, respectively. The elution factor differed for the two resin types with the Chelex 100 recoveries slightly lower than previous reports and the SPR-IDA resin showing on average ∼5-9% better recoveries than DGT containing Chelex 100. The measured capacity of DGT discs containing the SPR-IDA binding agent was 0.26 mg Cd, similar to the calculated value of 0.29 mg Cd, indicating the entire resin layer was available for metal uptake.Both resin types performed equally well when deployed in 1 mM NaNO₃ solutions with DGT measurements of ∼100% of direct solution measurements for Co, Ni and Cd. However, DGT measurements of Cu and Pb systematically decreased with increasing solution pH down to ∼50% of solution values at pH 8.0, due to artifacts resulting from colloid formation during the addition of the metals. This was remedied by adding the metals as dilute salt standards and addition of Mg(NO₃)₂ to eliminate adsorption to the container walls. In the latter experiments, DGT measured concentrations of Co, Ni, Cu, Cd and Pb were in agreement with solution concentrations. Deployment of DGT in solutions with increasing concentrations of trace metals yielded linear results, suggesting that quantitative analysis using simplified laser ablation techniques should be possible using this newly characterized SPR-IDA resin gel.     

Diffusive gradients in thin films technique for uranium measurements in river water

The diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT) was used for uranium measurements in water. DGT devices with Dowex resin binding phase (Dow DGT) were tested in synthetic river water, which gave 84% response to total uranium concentration. The devices were also deployed in natural river water and compared to devices with other types of binding phases, Chelex 100 resin beads imbedded in polyacrylamide hydrogel (Chelex DGT) and DE 81 anion exchange membrane (DE DGT), deployed in the same location at the same time. The measurement by Dow DGT was the lowest among the different types of the DGT devices, 45% of total uranium, while measurement by DE DGT was the highest, 98% of total uranium. The results achieved by the three types of DGT devices were explained by three DGT working mechanisms, equilibrium between complexes of resin/uranyl carbonates and complexes of resin/competitive ligands in water, effective reduction of uranyl carbonate concentration by the binding phase and dissociation of UO₂(CO₃)₂²⁻ and UO₂(CO₃)₃⁴⁻ within the diffusive layer in a DGT device. It is hoped that by deploying the DGT devices with different binding phases in natural waters, additional information on uranium speciation could be obtained.     

Trace metal speciation measurements in waters by the liquid binding phase DGT device

The speciation measurements of trace metals by the diffusive gradients in thin-films technique (DGT) using a poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) aqueous solution as a binding phase and a cellulose dialysis membrane (CDM) as a diffusive layer, CDM-PSS DGT, were investigated and showed good agreement with computer modelling calculations. The diffusion coefficients of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complexes with Cd²⁺ and Cu²⁺ were measured and compared with those of the inorganic metal ions. CDM-PSS DGT device was tested for speciation measurement in sample solutions containing EDTA, tannic acid (TA), glucose (GL), dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBS) and humic acid (HA) as complexing ligands forming organic complexes with varying stability constants. Lower percentages of DGT labile copper concentrations over total filterable copper concentrations obtained from the deployments in freshwater sites indicated that copper complexes with organic matter were basically not measured by the devices.     

Large Molecular Weight poly (4-styrenesulfonate) as Binding Phase of Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films for Measurement of Heavy Metals

The technique of diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) has been used for the in situ measurement of trace metals in natural waters~([1,2]).A new liquid-type DGT device employing poly(4-styrenesulfonate)(PSS) with a molecular weight of 7×10~4 (PSS-7E4) aqueous solution as a binding phase (PSS-7E4 DGT)was reported recently with excellent contact between the binding phase and the diffusive layer,good reproducibility and no need for elution corrections~([3]).However the high depletion rate of PSS-7E4 in the process of pretreatment prevents it from its practical application.     

Effective concentration difference model to study the effect of various factors on the effective diffusion coefficient in the dialysis membrane

Cellulose acetate dialysis membrane (CDM) has been used in the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique, where accurate diffusion coefficients are essential for the assessment of the concentrations of labile metal in solution. Effective concentration difference model (ECDM), based on the assumption that the effective diffusion coefficient of metal ion in the dialysis membrane is determined by the effective concentration difference (ΔC(e)) across the dialysis membrane, is proposed and applied to study the effect of ionic strength, binding agent, ligands and Donnan potential on the effective diffusion coefficient. The effective diffusion coefficients of Cd(2+) through the dialysis membrane immersed in receptor solutions with binding agent were almost the same as those in receptor solutions without binding agent at higher ionic strengths (0.01-1 M) but much higher than those at lower ionic strengths (0.001-0.0001 M). The effective diffusion coefficients of Cd(2+) through the dialysis membrane immersed in deionized water receptor solutions with binding agent were not significantly different from those in synthetic receptor solutions (receptor solutions with various ionic strengths) with binding agent. The DGT-labile fractions were measured in synthetic solutions and natural waters, which indicated that the effective diffusion coefficients, through the dialysis membrane immersed in the deionized water solution with binding agent as receptor solution and in the spiked natural water as source solution, were more suitable for DGT application.

Determination of in situ speciation of manganese in treated acid mine drainage water by using multiple diffusive gradients in thin films devices

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a serious environmental problem that creates acidic solution with high Mn concentrations. The speciation of residual Mn from AMD after an active treatment involving the addition of a neutralizing agent can reliably evaluate the treatment efficiency and provide knowledge of the Mn species being inputted into the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in situ lability and speciation of Mn using the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique with treated drainage water from a uranium mine (TAMD). DGT devices with different binding phases (Chelex-100 and P81 and DE81membranes) were used to perform the in situ speciation of Mn.
