Abstract in another language
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in elevated concentrations of contaminants in the groundwaters and subsurface soils, posing a growing hazard to humans and ecosystems. The transformation of most contaminants is closely linked to the mineralogy of ferric (hydr)oxides. Sulfidation of ferric (hydr)oxides is one of the most significant biogeochemical reactions in the anoxic environments, causing reductive dissolution and recrystallization of ferric (hydr)oxides and further affecting the transformation of iron-associated contaminants. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the sulfidation process of ferric (hydr)oxides and the transformation of relevant contaminants. This review presents detailed reaction mechanisms between ferric (hydr)oxides and dissolved sulfide, and elucidates the factors (e.g. crystallinity of ferric (hydr)oxides, the ratio of sulfide concentration to the surface area concentration of ferric (hydr)oxides) that control the formation of surface associated Fe(II), iron sulfide minerals, as well as transformation of secondary minerals. Then, we summarized the transformation mechanisms of a variety of typical environmentally relevant contaminants existing in groundwater and subsurface soils, including heavy metals, metal(loid) oxyanions (arsenic, antimony, chromium), radionuclides (uranium, technetium), organic contaminants and phosphate/nitrate species. The general mechanisms of contaminant transformation involve a combination of release, reduction and re-adsorption/incorporation processes, the specific pathway of which is highly dependent on the properties of the contaminant itself and the extent of sulfidation. Moreover, the challenge of extending our knowledge towards in situ remediation, as well as further research needs are identified.
