摘要
Environmental contextCarbon sequestration and dynamics are influenced by adsorptive fractionation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on minerals. We found that the molecular fractionation of DOM on ferrihydrite was highly dependent on the presence of Na, Ca and Cu ions in water. These results advance our mechanistic understanding of the dynamic behaviour of DOM, and contribute to predicting carbon cycling and contaminant behaviour in the natural environment. AbstractThe adsorptive fractionation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) at the ferrihydrite and water interface is a key geochemical process controlling DOM compositions and reactivity, thus affecting carbon cycling and contaminant behaviour in the environment. However, the effects of cations on DOM fractionation and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) combined with spectroscopic methods were employed to investigate molecular fractionation of DOM on ferrihydrite under different cations in the background electrolytes, including Na, Ca, and Cu ions. The results indicated that DOM fractionation was influenced by the combined effects of cation type, intrinsic molecular property, and extent of DOM adsorption. DOM adsorption on ferrihydrite exhibited the strongest and the weakest fractionation under Na and Ca background electrolytes, respectively. Both Ca and Cu background electrolytes reduced the adsorption of highly unsaturated and phenolic/polyphenolic molecules with high molecular weight and number of O atoms. In addition to the molecular acidity, the complexation of Ca and Cu ions to DOM binding sites and the coagulation effect of divalent cations may affect molecular fractionation. Additionally, DOM fractionation was enhanced with increasing DOM adsorption. Our results contribute to predicting carbon cycling and contaminant behaviour in the natural environment.
