摘要
Reactive oxygen species generated during the oxygenation of different ferrous species have been documented at groundwater field sites, but their effect on pollutant destruction remains an open question. To address this knowledge gap, a kinetic model was developed to probe mechanisms of •OH production and reactivity with trichloroethene (TCE) and competing species in the presence of reduced iron minerals (RIM) and oxygen in batch experiments. RIM slurries were formed by combining different amounts of Fe(II) and sulfide (with Fe(II):S ratios from 1:1 to 50:1) or Fe(II) and sulfate with sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) added. Extents of TCE oxidation and •OH production were both greater with RIM prepared under more reducing conditions (more added Fe(II)) and then amended with O2. Kinetic rate constants from modeling indicate that •OH production from free Fe(II) dominates •OH production from solid Fe(II) and that TCE competes for •OH with Fe(II) and organic matter (OM). Competition with OM only occurs in experiments with SRB, which include cells and their exudates. Experimental results indicate that cells and/or exudates also provide electron equivalents to reform Fe(II) from oxidized RIM. Our work provides new insights into mechanisms and environmental significance of TCE oxidation by •OH produced from oxygenation of RIM. However, further work is necessary to confirm the relative importance of reaction pathways identified here and to probe potentially unaccounted for mechanisms that affect abiotic TCE oxidation in natural systems.
