Resumo
As substâncias húmicas aquáticas investigadas foram convencionalmente extraídas de amostra de água coletada no Rio Negro - AM, Brasil utilizando-se resina XAD 8. Investigações usando ressonância nuclear magnética de próton e carbono treze indicaram a presença de alta aromaticidade com pouca substituição, pequena quantidade carbono carboxílico e razão 1:1 de grupos alifáticos / aromáticos. A razão das absorbâncias E350/E450, na região do ultravioleta e do visível, sugere a presença de estruturas alifáticas em proporções relativamente grandes. A distribuição do peso molecular das substâncias húmicas aquáticas foi caracterizada utilizando-se um sistema de ultra filtração de 5 estágios. O fracionamento indicou que metais traço, originalmente complexados com as substâncias húmicas, apresentam diferentes distribuições.
The aquatic humic substances investigated in this study were conventionally isolated from Rio Negro waters - Amazonas State/Brazil by means of the collector XAD 8. Molecular spectroscopy investigations of these humic substances using ¹H-NMR and 13C-NMR indicated the presence of high aromaticity with few substituents, small amounts of carboxylic carbon, and an aliphatic/aromatic ratio of 1:1. The relatively high UV-VIS absorbance E350/E450 ratio suggested the presence of relatively large proportions of aliphatic structures. Moreover, using a five-stage tangential-flow ultrafiltration (UF) device, the molecular-size distribution of the isolated humic substances was characterized. The fractionation patterns showed that metal traces remaining in humic substances after their XAD 8 isolation have different size distributions. For instance, Mn, Cu, Cd and Ni quantified by ICP-AES were preferably found in the high molecular-weight fractions (10-100 kDa).
