Abstract
Specific concentration profiles of iodate, iodide and organo-iodine in the water column of the Rogoznica Lake, where both oxic and anoxic conditions occur, were observed. Iodate and iodide concentrations were determined directly in water samples by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cathodic stripping square wave voltammetry (CSSWV), respectively. Concentrations of ‘labile’ and ‘stabile’ organo-iodine were determined by DPV in the samples pretreated with chlorine water and UV-irradiation (combined with hydrogen peroxide and followed by chlorine water addition), respectively. In this stratified water column (salinity and dissolved oxygen gradients) with pronounced biological productivity, high concentrations of iodide (up to 0.87 μM) and significant percentages of ‘labile’ and ‘stabile’ organo-iodine, up to 37% and 30% respectively, were found. The formation of ‘labile’ organo-iodine is primarily governed by chemical reactions with dissolved sulphur forms and organic compounds, as well as remineralization processes of ‘stabile’ organo-iodine.
