Abstract

The association of poorly crystalline iron (hydr)oxides with organic matter (OM), such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), exerts a profound effect on Fe and C cycles in soils and sediments, and their behaviors under sulfate-reducing conditions involve complicated mineralogical transformations. However, how different loadings and types of EPS and water chemistry conditions affect the sulfidation still lacks quantitative and systematic investigation. We here synthesized a set of ferrihydrite–organic matter (Fh–OM) coprecipitates with various model compounds for plant and microbial exopolysaccharides (polygalacturonic acids, alginic acid, and xanthan gum) and bacteriogenic EPS (extracted from Bacillus subtilis). Combining wet chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopic techniques, we systematically studied the impacts of C and S loadings by tracing the temporal evolution of Fe mineralogy and speciation in aqueous and solid phases. Our results showed that the effect of added OM on sulfidation of Fh–OM coprecipitates is interrelated with the amount of loaded sulfide. Under low sulfide loadings (S(-II)/Fe < 0.5), transformation to goethite and lepidocrocite was the main pathway of ferrihydrite sulfidation, which occurs more strongly at pH 6 compared to that at pH 7.5, and it was promoted and inhibited at low and high C/Fe ratios, respectively. While under high sulfide loadings (S(-II)/Fe > 0.5), the formation of secondary Fe–S minerals such as mackinawite and pyrite dominated ferrihydrite sulfidation, and it was inhibited with increasing C/Fe ratios. Furthermore, all three synthetic EPS proxies unanimously inhibited mineral transformation, while the microbiogenic EPS has a more potent inhibitory effect than synthetic EPS proxies compared at equivalent C/Fe loadings. Collectively, our results suggest that the quantity and chemical characteristics of the associated OM have a strong and nonlinear influence on the extent and pathways of mineralogical transformations of Fh–OM sulfidation.
