Abstract [en]

In previous publications discussing arsenic determination using ferrihydrite-backed diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) devices, organic arsenic forms have been disregarded, even though it is known that the two most prevalent in natural waters, dimethylarsinate (DMA) and monomethylarsonate (MMA), may adsorb to ferrihydrite and thereby be included in the measurement. In this work the accumulation of DMA and MMA, as well as inorganic arsenite and arsenate, to ferrihydrite-backed DGT devices was investigated. It could be demonstrated that MMA, and under acidic conditions also DMA, adsorbed to the binding layer and might therefore contribute to the total mass of measured arsenic. Diffusion coefficients were measured for all four species to enable quantification of DGT-labile concentrations of organic and inorganic arsenic. Elution of the analytes from the ferrihydrite binding layer was performed using 1 mL of 1 M NaOH to facilitate arsenic speciation analysis using chromatographic separation. Average recovery rates were between 87 and 108%. This study shows that the contribution of DMA and MMA to the total accumulated mass must be taken into consideration when evaluating DGT data in future studies.
