摘要：
The dynamic reactions of uranium (U) with iron (Fe) minerals change its behaviors in soil environment, however, how the coexisted constituents in soil affect U sequestration and release on Fe minerals during the transformation remains unclear. Herein, coupled effects of lead (Pb) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) on U speciation and release kinetics during the catalytic transformations of ferrihydrite (Fh) by Fe(II) were investigated. Our results revealed that the coexistence of Pb and DOM significantly reduced U release and increased the immobilization of U during Fh transformation, which were attributed to the enhanced inhibition of Fh transformation, the declined release of DOM and the increased U(VI) reduction. Specifically, the presence of Pb increased the coprecipitation of condensed aromatics, polyphenols and phenols, and these molecules were preferentially maintained by Fe (oxyhydr)oxides. The sequestrated polyphenols and phenols could further facilitate U(VI) reduction to U(IV). Additionally, a higher Pb content in coprecipitates caused a slower U release, especially when DOM was present. Compared with Pb, the concentrations of the released U were significantly lower during the transformation. Our results contribute to predicting U sequestration and remediating U-contaminated soils. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
