The agarose-BP and agarose-MOS gel disks were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry and Porosimetry by nitrogen adsorption. Elution of analytes from the binding agents was successfully performed with 2 mol L-1 HCl. The accumulation of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in DGT devices based on agarose-BP and agarose-MOS (DGT-BP and DGT-MOS) agreed well with the theoretical curves predicted by the DGT equation in synthetic solutions (500 mu g L-1 for each analyte). The uptake of DGT-BP and DGT-MOS for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn was found to be independent of ionic strength of solutions up to 0.005 mol L-1 and for the entire studied pH range (from 3.5 to 8.0). Validation of DGT-BP and DGT-MOS methods was carried out by deploying the devices in spiked river water (the Corumbatai and the Piracicaba river). The recoveries obtained for the natural water matrices ranged between 40% and 150%. DGT-labile concentrations in situ for DGT-BP and DGT-MOS (performed in acid mine drainage) were also consistent with the values measured by conventional DGT-Chelex, albeit DGT-BP had a better binding capacity in acid drainage water. The predictions performed by chemical speciation modelling vMINTEQ were in general agreement for Pb using DGT-MOS (CDGT-MOS/C-dissolved 50% and Pb+2 (MINTEQ) species 41.9%) and for Cu using DGT-BP (CDGT-BP/C-dissolved 55% and Cu-MINTEQ(+2) species 62%). The proposed DGT-BP and DGT-MOS reaffirm the use of residual biomass as binding phase in the DGT technique, featuring low costs in production and 'green' technology approaches.
