Abstract
Black carbon (BC) occurs ubiquitously in the environment. Its oxidation in the laboratory yields asuite of benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs), suggesting similar oxidation products in soils. Since only for a few soils the occurrence of BPCAs in the free form has been documented, screening for them in a broad range of contrasting soils was conducted. They were extractedfrom soil samples with 0.5 M NaOH and quantified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. As expected, BPCAs turned out to be as ubiquitous as BC. They were detected not only inevery soil sample investigated so far, but also in samples from drill cores up to a depth of 10 mand in recently deposited calcareous tufa. The concentrations covered a range similar to that ofsome phenolic acids. The range exceeded those reported for low-molecular-weight aliphaticacids or simple sugars in soils. The distribution of BPCAs in soil profiles indicated a considerablepotential of translocation within, and export from, soil, in particular of benzene hexacarboxylic(mellitic) acid. Mellitic acid may therefore be present in almost any geochemical sample affectedby seepage water from soils. Its high water solubility and strong metal-complexing ability suggestit may be involved in metal-transport processes, at least on geological timescales.
