摘要
Antimony(Sb)is a recognized priority pollutant with toxicity that is influenced by its mi-gration and transformation processes.Oxidation of Fe(Ⅱ)to Fe(Ⅲ)oxides,which is a com-mon phenomenon in the environment,is often accompanied by the formation of Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)and might affect the fate of Sb.In this study,incorporated Mn(Ⅲ)and sorbed/precipitated Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)associated with lepidocrocite were prepared by adding Mn(Ⅱ)during and after Fe(Ⅱ)oxidation,respectively,and the effects of these Mn species on Sb fate were inves-tigated.Our results indicated that the association of these Mn species with lepidocrocite obviously enhanced Sb(Ⅲ)oxidation to Sb(V),while concomitantly inhibiting Sb sorption due to the lower sorption capacity of lepidocrocite for Sb(V)than Sb(Ⅲ).Additionally,Mn oxide equivalents increased in the presence of Sb,indicating that Sb oxidation by Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)associated with lepidocrocite was a continuous recycling process in which Mn(Ⅱ)released from Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)reduction by Sb(Ⅲ)could be oxidized to Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)again.This recycling pro-cess was favorable for effective Sb(Ⅲ)oxidation.Moreover,Sb(Ⅴ)generated from Sb(Ⅲ)ox-idation by Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)enhanced Mn(Ⅱ)sorption at the beginning of the process,and thus favored Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)formation,which could further promote Sb(Ⅲ)oxidation to Sb(V).Over-all,this study elucidated the effects of Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ)associated with lepidocrocite arisen from Fe(Ⅱ)oxidation on Sb migration and transformation and revealed the underlying reaction mechanisms,contributing to a better understanding of the geochemical dynamics of Sb.
