Coagulation processes within water treatment plays an important role in contaminant removal and aluminum-oxo Keggin polycations are proved to be an effective coagulating agents. Previous work demonstrated that heteroatom substitution within the Keggin-type polycation ε-Al13 to form ε-GaAl12 and ε-GeAl12 can enhance removal of bacteria, DOC, and turbidity from wastewater. Additional hydrolysis of the ε-Al13 species to form larger Al30 species has also been shown to improve coagulation, but this aspect has not been evaluated for the ε-GaAl12 and ε-GeAl12 systems. In the current study, hydrolysis of ε-Al13, ε-GaAl12 and ε-GeAl12 was promoted through hydrothermal aging to evaluate the overall solution stability/behavior and water treatment efficiency. Turbidity measurement of aged solution indicated that Ga substituted aluminum-oxo Keggin polycations remain stable in solution and DLS studies demonstrated greater diversity in particle sizes within the system. Additional thermogravimetric analyses of metal hydroxide precipitates formed from the aging studies indicate that the GaAl12 system behaves more like an amorphous Al(OH)3 phase, which has higher solubility than other aluminum hydroxide phases. Hydrothermal aging did not significantly change %DOC removal as all solution showed high efficiency for removal across a range of pH values. GaAl12 solutions demonstrated good turbidity removal efficiency in all pH range, with enhanced performance at pH 5. The study suggests that larger, relatively stable oligomers do exist within the aged GaAl12 solutions that may contribute to enhanced contaminant removal in a similar manner to what is observed within the PACl-Al30 coagulant.

The Hot Water Percolation (HWP) technique for preparing soil extracts has several advantages: it is easily carried out, fast, and several parameters can be measured from the same solution. The object of this study was to examine the possible use of HWP extracts for the characterization of soil organic matter. The HPLC-SEC chromatograms, UV-VIS and fluorescence properties of the HWP extracts were studied and the results were compared with those of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS) Soil Humic Acid (HA), IHSS Soil Fulvic Acid (FA) and IHSS Suwannee Natural Organic Matter (NOM) standards as well as their HA counterparts isolated by traditional extraction methods from the original soil samples. The DOM of the HWP solution is probably a mixture of organic materials, which have some characteristics similar to the Soil FA fractions and NOM. The HWP extracted organic material can be studied and characterized using simple techniques, like UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy.

The aim of this study is to determine the Cu(II) complexing capacity and stability constants of Cu(II) complexes of humic acids isolated from two well-characterized raised bog peat profiles in respect to the basic properties and humification characteristics of the studied peats and their humic acids. The complex stability constants significantly change within the studied bog profiles and are well correlated with the age and decomposition degree of the peat layer from which the humic acids have been isolated. Among factors that influence this complexation process, molecular mass and ability to form micellar structures (supramolecules) of humic substances are of key importance.
