Abstract

Abstract

The existence form and distribution of phosphorus cannot be completely known due to low concentration of phosphate in cave dripping water. In order to resolve the above problem, the molybdophosphoricblue spectrophotometry method, which set separation-enrichment-measurement in one process, for quantitatively measuring PO43- content in dripping water is developed in light of the classic method MAGIC. Four recovery tests show that the recovery rate of trace phosphate is 99%, 102%, 95% and 96% respectively, up to the requirement of quantitative analysis. Test of phosphates in dripping-water samples collected during 2005 - 2012 from the HS4 drop site in Heshang Cave, Hubei Province show that max content is 12.1 μg P/L and minimum 0.1 μg P/L, averages 4.55 μg/L. The concentration of phosphate in cave dripping-water presents seasonal fluctuations, high in summer and fall, low in spring and winter, which is consistent with homochronous temperature and water-dripping velocity and well responses the changes of climate and environment.
