Original Abstract
Various methods and techniques have been used for studying humic substances binding to metal ions, among which steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy has proven to be one of the most promising and productive. The aim of this work was study molecular and quantitative analysis of metal ion binding to humic substances (HS). The object of our study was two standards of humic substances (Elliott Soil standard HA 1S102H and Elliott Soil standard FA 2S102F). All samples of IHSS standards HS were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. UV/Vis spectra of aqueous solutions HS were measured by spectrophotometer Hitachi U-3900 in the wavelength range of 200–900 nm. Absorption coefficients (EET/EBz and E465/E665) of HS were calculated from the absorbance values. Infrared spectroscopy is a useful technique in characterization of structure, functional groups and formation modes of HS. For the fluorescence experiments the final concentration of the HS was adjusted to 10 and 15 mg∙L–1. All fluorescence spectra were performed on a Horiba Scientific Fluorolog. The fluorescence intensity (IF) values (in CPS) of samples were corrected using method of Lakowicz. A fluorescence titration method was used for determining metal ion complexing capacities and stability constants of metal ion complexes of standards HS. Titration with Cu(II), Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions decreased fluorescence intensities of HS. Chemical parameters on the complexation of Cu(II), Pb(II) and Hg(II) ions, including the conditional stability constants and the percentage of fluorophores participating in the complexation, were estimated by the modified Stern–Volmer equation.
