Two adsorbents (Metsorb and ferrihydrite) used in binding layers with the diffusive gradients in a thin film technique were evaluated for the measurement of dissolved reactive phosphorous (DRP) in synthetic and natural waters. Possible interferences were investigated with Cl- (up to 1.35 mol L-1) and SO42- (up to 0.056 mol L-1) having no affect on either DGT binding layer, and HCO3- (up to 5.7 mmol L-1) having no effect on Metsorb-DGT, over 4 days. However, HCO3- interfered with the ferrihydrite-DGT measurement at concentrations typical of many natural waters (>= 0.7 mmol L-1) after a deployment period of 1-2 days. The capacity of the Metsorb binding phase for DGT response was similar to 37,000 ng P, whereas the capacities of a low-mass (17.8 mg of adsorbent per DGT sampler) and high-mass (29.2 mg of adsorbent per DGT sampler) ferrihydrite binding phase were substantially lower (similar to 15.000 ng P and similar to 25,000 ng P, low-mass and high-mass, respectively). Increasing the capacity of the ferrihydrite adsorbent allowed the ferrihydrite-DGT to be utilized for up to 3 days before interference by HCO3- was observed. Seawater deployments demonstrated that even high-capacity ferrihydrite-DGT devices underestimated the DRP concentration by 37%, whereas Metsorb-DGT measurements were accurate. The Metsorb-DGT is superior to the ferrihydrite-DGT for determining DRP over deployment times greater than 1 day and in waters with >= 0.7 mmol L-1 HCO3-. Based on the experience obtained from this detailed validation process, the authors propose a number of key requirements that need to be considered when developing new DGT binding layers, with testing the performance over longer deployment times being critical.
