Abstract in another language
Knowledge of how arsenic (As) partitions among various phases in Fe-rich sulfidic environments is critical for understanding the fate and mobility of As in such environments. We studied the reaction of arsenite and arsenate sorbed on ferrihydrite nanoparticle surfaces with dissolved sulfide at varying S/Fe ratios (0.1–2.0) to understand the fate and transformation mechanism of As during sulfidation of ferrihydrite. By using aqueous As speciation analysis by IC-ICP-MS and solid-phase As speciation analysis by synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we were able to discern the mechanism and pathways of As partitioning and thio-arsenic species formation. Our results provide a mechanistic understanding of the fate and transformation of arsenic during the codiagenesis of As, Fe, and S in reducing environments. Our aqueous-phase As speciation data, combined with solid-phase speciation data, indicate that sulfidation of As-sorbed ferrihydrite nanoparticles results in their transformation to trithioarsenate and arsenite, independent of the initial arsenic species used. The nature and extent of transformation and the thioarsenate species formed were controlled by S/Fe ratios in our experiments. However, arsenate was reduced to arsenite before transformation to trithioarsenate.
