Examination the effects of Zn2+ and Cu2+ on the Pb2+ binding with dissolved organic matter using absorbance spectroscopy by Jilai Zhang, Dan Jian, Chenglei Hu, Wenhua Chen, Ming Jiang, Sheng Wang, Youbo Su, Naiming Zhang, Zhihao Si, Menglan Lu

“…The results indicate that the addition both of Zn 2+or Cu 2+can reduce the binding of DOM to Pb 2+, with the effect of Cu 2+being the most obvious. Specifically, significant changes were evident in the differential log-transformed absorbance at higher Zn2+/Cu2+ concentrations, including modified spectral shapes, absorption wavelength fluctuation, and differential absorption intensity changes. …”
