Abstract
A series of macroreticular resin adsorbents was evaluated for ability to extract and fractionate organic solutes found in natural waters. Studies with organic solute standards and natural water samples lead to the development of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fractionation analysis whereby the DOC is concentrated and fractionated by macroreticular resins into acid, base, and neutral hydrophobic organic solute fractions and into acid, base, and neutral hydrophilic organic solute fractions. The hydrophobic solutes were sorbed and fractionated on nonionic, nonpolar macroreticular resins, and the hydrophilic solutes were sorbed and fractionated by macroreticular ion-exchange resins. Organic-inorganic complexes as well as organic solutes were isolated by resin sorption. DOC fractionation analysis was developed to serve as a compound classification that fills the gap in organic solute characterization between the organic solute concentration (DOC) and specific compound identification.
