Fractionation of carbon isotopes of dissolved organic matter adsorbed to goethite in the presence of arsenic to study the origin of DOM in groundwater.

Abstract:

:Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) in groundwater plays a crucial role in mobilizing arsenic (As). The complex contribution of DOM sources makes it hard to predict how the variation of environmental conditions would affect the distribution of As concentrations. Identifying the carbon isotope fractionation of DOM is the key to quantify DOM sources based on stable carbon isotopes. To understand the magnitude and variability in the carbon isotopic fractionation of DOM in competitive adsorption with As(V), this study investigated the δ13C values of fulvic acid (FA) and DOM during adsorption to goethite in the presence of As(V), at a specific pH and temperature. The carbon isotopic enrichment factor (ε) of FA in the adsorption to goethite was 0.65 ± 2.11‰ at pH 4.1, 25 °C, suggesting that FA molecules containing 13C were more easily adsorbed to goethite. An increasing temperature increased εFA from 0.32 ± 1.17‰ to 0.82 ± 5.39‰ at 15-35 °C. For dissolved sediment organic matter (DSOM) cases, molecules containing 13C were more easily adsorbed to goethite. However, enrichment factors were not detected due to a reduction in DSOM adsorption and the diversity of natural humic substances or groups. The findings provide basic data for accurately ascertaining DOM sources through carbon isotopes, which is significant for predicting As fluctuation in aquifers affected by monsoon climate and/or human activities.
