River water and treated effluent were chosen as commonly investigated matrices with a high potential of biotransformation activity. Analyses were carried out for sample storage temperatures of 4 and 28 degrees C for water samples stored as liquid phase and for sample storage temperatures of 4, 20 and 40 degrees C for SPE cartridges. Cooling of water samples alone was not sufficient for longer storage times (>24 h). While copper sulphate caused detrimental interferences with nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds, sodium azide proved to be a suitable stabilising agent. The best results could be obtained for SPE cartridges stored cool. Recommendations for samples preservation are provided. (C), 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Based on ester hydrolysis, the influences of different substituents on the reaction kinetics are studied in detail using the analog phenol acetates under the influence of varying pH and temperatures. Furthermore, a 2-ethylbutyl-2-naphthol-6-sulfonic ester is tested in laboratory experiments for its applicability as a practical thermo-sensitive tracer, considering also the influences of brine and rock matrix. The reaction is shown to be strongly thermo-sensitive while the reaction kinetics can be varied by two orders of magnitude by altering the sterical hindrance groups. These changes in the reaction kinetics are found to be predictable by using the results of this work. It has been found that the half-life can be decreased by the factor of three, if the reacting group is sterically hindered from one side and by the factor of ten, if the reacting group is hindered from both sides. Also mesomeric and inductive effects of substituents on the aromatic ring have significant effects on reaction rates. The pH-dependency on the reaction speed could be quantified and it is shown that the reaction complete alkaline catalyzed. Therefore, this reaction fulfills the many considerations of a tracer-test, such as varying absolute temperature, test durations, and temperature gradients. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Moreover, concentrations of gemfibrozil and cetirizine were reduced to 20% and 40% of their initial concentrations, respectively, after 200 h of residence time. In contrast, prior to installation of the reactive layer, the concentrations of these three pharmaceuticals in both the vadose zone and the aquifer were more than 60% of the initial concentration.

Tested systems for each dye were: (i) pure sand (0% Fe-0), (ii) pure Fe-0 (100% Fe-0), and (iii) Fe-0/sand (50% Fe-0 - vol/vol). Tested dyes were methylene blue (MB - cationic), Orange II (anionic) and reactive red 120 (RR 120 - anionic). Used dye concentration was 31 mu M and used Fe-0 mass was 100g. Each system was characterized by the time-dependent changes of the pH value, the iron breakthrough, the dye breakthrough, and the hydraulic conductivity (permeability). The experiments lasted for 93 days during which a total of 26.12 L of the dye solution flowed through each column (809.7 mu M dye in total). No significance changes in pH value, Fe breakthrough and permeability could be documented. In pure sand systems (0% Fe-0) 15, 21 and 140 mu M of RR 120, Orange II and MB were discolored respectively. The discoloration efficiency in Fe-0-based systems was 75% for MB and more than 95% for RR120 and Orange II. Results confirmed quantitative adsorptive MB discoloration and negligible adsorption of anionic dyes onto negatively charged sand. Quantitative discoloration of anionic dyes (Orange II, RR 120) in Fe-0/sand systems was attributed to high affinities of both species to positively iron corrosion products. UV-vis spectra of effluent solutions revealed a quantitative chemical reaction of RR 120 in the Fe-0/H2O system.

However, a quantification of the magnitude of leakage is difficult. The objective of this work is to provide a highly sensitive methodology for the estimation of the mass of untreated wastewater entering karst aquifers with rapid recharge. For this purpose a balance approach is adapted. It is based on the mass flow of caffeine in spring water, the load of caffeine in untreated wastewater and the daily water consumption per person in a spring catchment area. Caffeine is a source-specific indicator for wastewater, consumed and discharged in quantities allowing detection in a karst spring. The methodology was applied to estimate the amount of leaking and infiltrating wastewater to a well investigated karst aquifer on a daily basis. The calculated mean volume of untreated wastewater entering the aquifer was found to be 2.2 +/- 0.5 m(3) d(-1) (undiluted wastewater). It corresponds to approximately 0.4% of the total amount of wastewater within the spring catchment. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Even less is known about the risk posed by emerging micropollutants in these systems. In order to identify the attenuation potential of karst aquifers in-situ and to estimate the risk posed by micropollutants, a dualtracer test was conducted in this study in order to investigate differential transport in the subsurface: The reactive compound caffeine was used as a tracer to indicate the attenuation capacity within the aquifer in-situ. Due to the low limit of quantification, only small amounts of caffeine needed to be injected. To calibrate a model and to visualize the attenuation of caffeine a conservative reference tracer (uranine) is injected simultaneously. The methodology is tested in a well-characterised karst system in southwest Germany. The results indicate a significantly higher attenuation rate than was expected for karst aquifers. The attenuation is decribed as a first-order process. The corresponding half-life is 104 h. This low half-life suggests that a generally assumed low natural attenuation capacity of karst aquifers is unjustified. The observed mass loss of caffeine illustrates the potential of caffeine to be used as reactive tracer for indicating in-situ attenuation capacity within highly hydraulically conductive systems, such as karst aquifers. Due to the high attenuation rate of caffeine it does not pose a threat as a longtime contaminant. In combination with a conservative reference tracer an economical and environmentally benign method is presented in this manuscript for the in-situ determination of the attenuation capacity of highly conductive aquifer systems.
