研究目的
Investigating the emergence of the protein-like fluorophore as a result of DOM phototransformation in natural waters.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the increase in protein-like fluorescence of natural waters may result from phototransformation of DOM, not just microbial production. The phototransformation is a two-step process involving degradation during irradiation and partial regeneration during dark storage, with the most prominent recovery observed in the protein-like fluorophore spectral range.
研究不足
The study focuses on the phototransformation of DOM in natural waters but does not extensively explore the microbial contributions to the protein-like fluorophore. The experimental conditions, such as the use of UV radiation and dark storage, may not fully replicate natural environmental conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Samples of natural waters were irradiated using ultraviolet radiation in the solar wavelength range. Their EMM spectra were recorded before and directly after irradiation, and after 72 h long dark storage.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
River water was collected at the Vistula River outlet, and samples of surface coastal and sea water were taken in summer
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
20 Quartz tubes, Cleo Advantage fluorescent tubes, SKU 430 UVB and SKU 421 UVA broadband sensors, Vario Cube TOC analyzer, Jasco 630 V dual-beam spectrophotometer, Jasco FP6300 spectrofluorometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were filtered, irradiated for 20 h, and then stored in dark for 72 h. Fluorescence and absorbance measurements were taken before and after irradiation and after dark storage.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fluorescence values were normalized to Raman units, and second order Rayleigh scattering and Raman scattering were deleted using data conversion.
