摘要
To elaborate primary geochemical factors controlling the enrichment and spatial distribution of arsenic (As) species in groundwater systems, multilevel hydrogeochemical monitoring was conducted at an As-contaminated site in central part of Datong Basin, northern China. Aqueous As concentration was highly variable, ranging from 5.47 to 2690 mu g/L. High As groundwater was characterized by elevated HCO3-, Fe(II), HS-, NH4+ and dominated by As(III) species. The positive correlation between As and Fe contents was observed in easily-reducible Fe pool, indicating that poorly crystalline Fe minerals served as an important As sink via chemical adsorption and/or co-precipitation. Under moderately reducing and weakly alkaline conditions (Eh >= 100 mV and pH between 7.69 and 8.04), As mobilization could be controlled by pH-dependent desorption process. The relationships of aqueous As(V) and As(III) versus Fe(II) concentration confirm that reductive dissolution of As-bearing Fe oxides/hydroxides and reductive desorption of As(V) could be responsible for As enrichment and As(III) predominance in groundwater under more reducing conditions (Eh <= 100 mV). The co-presence of elevated As(III) and sulfide indicates that microbial sulfate reduction may promote As(V) transformation into thioarsenate and/or thioarsenite and further into As(III). However, the correlations of As(V) and As(III) concentration versus saturation indices of mackinawite suggest that decrease in aqueous As concentration may be due to re-sequestration of both As(V) and As(III) by Fe(II)-sulfide precipitates.
