Chromophoric dissolved organic compounds in urban watershed and conventional water treatment process: evidence from fluorescence spectroscopy and PARAFAC. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:37248-37262. [PMID: 36571688 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-24787-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the origin, quantity, and composition of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from two urbanized watersheds (Cikapundung and Cimahi River), examine how CDOM compounds and absorbances change along the process of two different conventional WTPs (WTP Dago and Cimahi) using PARAFAC, and identify absorbance as potential surrogate parameters for CDOM compounds. Samples were collected from intake, secondary treatment, and filter outlets. PARAFAC was conducted based on two data scenarios: (1) from rainy and dry seasons in Cikapundung river and WTP Dago and (2) from the two rivers and two WTPs during rainy season. Tryptophan-like (C1A) and humic-like (C2A) compounds were identified based on scenario-1 analysis. For scenario-2, humic-like (C1B), peak-M (C2B), and tryptophan-like (C3B) were the main compounds. CDOM compound quantity is consistent with the fluorescence index (FI) and biological index (BIX) which confirmed sewage and animal manure pollution in both watersheds. The best overall removal of CDOM compound occurred in WTP Dago in rainy season. The high concentration of tryptophan-like in Cikapundung River in dry season and in Cimahi River in rainy season has worsen the WTP capability to reduce CDOM. Scenario-1 has shown that in WTP Dago, the potential surrogate parameter for C1A was A240 in rainy season (r = 0.60; p < 0.01) and A410 in dry season (r = - 0.43, p < 0.05). Based on scenario-2, for the WTP Dago in rainy season, C1B strongly correlated with A254 (r = 0.86; p < 0.01), C2B has the strongest correlation with A298 (r = 0.93; p < 0.01), and C3B correlated well with A240 (r = 0.59; p < 0.01). In WTP Cimahi, during rainy season, all compounds correlated well with all measured absorbances, with the strongest correlation with A298.

Sources, characteristics, and in situ degradation of dissolved organic matters: A case study of a drinking water reservoir located in a cold-temperate forest. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114857.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycles of elements and the regulation of forest ecosystem functions. However, studies on the regional and seasonal characteristics of DOM in cold-temperate montane forests are still not comprehensive. In this study, samples of water, soil, and sediment from different sites in the forest drainage basin were collected, and their DOM was characterized by an excitation-emission matrix and parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). The results showed that terrestrial-sourced humic-like substances were the dominant DOM in the studied reservoir and inflowing rivers. The quality and quantity of DOM exhibited spatiotemporal variations with the influence of terrain and monsoonal precipitation. The average concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the wet season was 11.62 mg/L, which was higher than that in the dry season (8.18 mg/L). Higher humification index (HIX) values were observed in the wet season and upstream water than in the dry season and reservoir water. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) was used to further develop a molecular-level understanding of the in situ degradation process of DOM. The results indicated that photodegradation rather than biodegradation may play a dominant role in the in situ degradation of terrestrial-sourced humic-like substances under natural conditions. The biodegradability of DOM was enhanced after the in situ degradation process. Additionally, a significant decrease in the precursors of disinfectant byproducts in DOM was observed after in situ degradation. To our knowledge, this is the first study of the sources, characteristics, and in situ degradation of DOM in a reservoir in a cold-temperate forest. These findings help better understand the quality, quantity, and biogeochemical process of DOM in the studied reservoir and may contribute to the selection of drinking water treatment technologies for water supply.

Abstract
Soil-derived dissolved organic matter (SDOM) is an important site-specific disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor in watersheds. However, it remains unclear how fertilization regime shifts the molecular diversity and chlorine reactivity of SDOM in cropland-impacted watersheds. Here, we analyzed the spectroscopic and molecular-level characteristics of the SDOM from croplands that had different fertilization regimes (i.e., non-fertilization, chemical fertilization, straw return, and chemical fertilization plus straw return) for 5 years and evaluated the chlorine reactivity of the SDOM by determining the 24-h chlorine consumption and specific DBP formation potential (SDBP-FP). The SDOM level decreased by chemical fertilization and was not significantly altered by straw return alone or combined with chemical fertilizer. However, all fertilization regimes elevated the molecular diversity of SDOM by increasing the abundance of protein-, lignin-, and tannin-like compounds. The chlorine reactivity of SDOM was reduced by chemical fertilization, but was significantly increased by straw return. Typically, straw return increased the formation potential of specific trihalomethane and chloral hydrate by 339% and 56% via increasing the aromatics in SDOM, whereas chemical fertilization could effectively decrease about 231% of the increased specific trihalomethane formation potential caused by straw return. This study highlights that fertilization regime can significantly shape the molecular diversity and chlorine reactivity of the SDOM in croplands and that partially replacing chemical fertilizer with crop straw is an advantageous practice for reducing DBP risks in drinking water in cropland-impacted watersheds.

HARMFUL ALGAE 2022; 117:102269.

Abstract
The concentration of coloured terrestrial dissolved organic matter (tDOM) from vegetation appears to be increasing in lakes in some regions of the world, leading to the term brownification. The light attenuating effect of coloured tDOM on phytoplankton growth has been a major focus of attention, but the phytotoxic effects of tDOM, particularly on cyanobacterial blooms, are less well understood. This mesocosm study tested whether coloured tDOM, leached from the leaves of a Eucalyptus tree species, inhibited a naturally occurring bloom of the toxic cyanobacterium, Raphidiopsis raciborskii, in a reservoir over a 10 day period. The study found that tDOM leachate, measured as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), inhibited photosynthesis and growth of both R. raciborskii, as well as species present at lower densities, i.e. other cyanobacteria and diatoms. However, the effect was greater at higher tDOM input loads. The photosynthetic yield (Fv/Fm) of cyanobacteria decreased rapidly in treatments with 5.9 and 25 mg L-1 DOC addition, compared to the control (reservoir water with background DOC concentration of 6.85 ± 1.09 mg L-1). tDOM had no measurable effect in the 2 and 3.3 mg L-1 DOC addition treatments. By day 5, cell densities of cyanobacteria, including R. raciborskii, and diatoms, in treatments with 5.9 and 25 mg L-1 DOC addition were significantly lower than the control with no tDOM addition, and this effect continued throughout the experiment. This is despite the leachate addition increasing phosphate concentrations which counteracted the low background concentrations of phosphate. Light attenuation and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were also affected by the tDOM addition, but were only significantly lower in the 25 mg L-1 DOC treatment compared with the control. DOC, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) concentrations all decreased in the tDOM addition treatments over the first 3 days, as the microbial cell densities increased. The components of the tDOM that decreased over time were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy in the 25 mg L-1 DOC treatment. After 5 d, the relative concentrations of fatty acids, sugars and gallic acid decreased by around 60%, while concentrations of flavonoids and myo-inositol decreased by 45 and 35% respectively. This study suggests that phytotoxic compounds in tDOM can suppress cyanobacterial blooms, despite the increased nutrient inputs. This has implications for predicting the future likelihood of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and reservoirs with climate-change driven changes in flow events, and other changes in the amount and types of vegetation cover. Revegetation of riparian zones, resulting in increased tDOM into waterways, may also be beneficial in reducing cyanobacterial blooms.

Disinfection byproducts formed during drinking water treatment reveal an export control point for dissolved organic matter in a subalpine headwater stream. WATER RESEARCH X 2022; 15:100144.

Abstract
Changes in climate, season, and vegetation can alter organic export from watersheds. While an accepted tradeoff to protect public health, disinfection processes during drinking water treatment can adversely react with organic compounds to form disinfection byproducts (DBPs). By extension, DBP monitoring can yield insights into hydrobiogeochemical dynamics within watersheds and their implications for water resource management. In this study, we analyzed temporal trends from a water treatment facility that sources water from Coal Creek in Crested Butte, Colorado. These trends revealed a long-term increase in haloacetic acid and trihalomethane formation over the period of 2005-2020. Disproportionate export of dissolved organic carbon and formation of DBPs that exceeded maximum contaminant levels were consistently recorded in association with late spring freshet. Synoptic sampling of the creek in 2020 and 2021 identified a biogeochemical hotspot for organic carbon export in the upper domain of the watershed that contained a prominent fulvic acid-like fluorescent signature. DBP formation potential analyses from this domain yielded similar ratios of regulated DBP classes to those formed at the drinking water facility. Spectrometric qualitative analyses of pre and post-reacted waters with hypochlorite indicated lignin-like and condensed hydrocarbon-like molecules were the major reactive chemical classes during chlorine-based disinfection. This study demonstrates how drinking water quality archives combined with synoptic sampling and targeted analyses can be used to identify and understand export control points for dissolved organic matter. This approach could be applied to identify and characterize analogous watersheds where seasonal or climate-associated organic matter export challenge water treatment disinfection and by extension inform watershed management and drinking water treatment.

Abstract
The removal of organic pollutants presents a major challenge for drinking water treatment plants. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) is essentially the measure of oxidizable organic matter in source waters. In this study, we report that COD can efficiently be decreased by adding Fe(II)/Fe(III) and sulfite ion to the source water while purging it with air. In this process, oxygen is activated to oxidize the main constituents of COD, i.e. organic substrates, via the generation of reactive inorganic oxysulfur radical ions. In the end, the total amount of sulfur(IV) is converted to the non-toxic sulfate ion. It has been explored how the COD removal efficiency depends on the concentration of S(IV), the total concentration of iron species, the concentration ratio of Fe(II) and Fe(III), the purging rate and the contact time by using source water from a specific location (Királyhegyes, Hungary). The process has been optimized by applying the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Under optimum conditions, the predicted and experimentally found COD removal efficiencies are in excellent agreement: 85.4% and 87.5%, respectively. The robustness of the process was tested by varying the optimum values of the parameters by ± 20%. It was demonstrated that the method is universally applicable because a remarkable decrease was achieved in COD, 62.0-88.5%, with source waters of various compositions acquired from 9 wells at other locations using the same conditions as in the case of Királyhegyes.
