The limiting and driving roles of Fe(II) in As(III) oxidation were systematically studied in this research. It was found that the oxidation efficiency of As(III) increased with the increase of Fe/As molar ratio, but decreased with the increase of pH and air flow rate. Fe(II) oxidation rate increased with the increase of pH and air flow rate, and the ROS generated by Fenton-like reaction of Fe(II) promoted As(III) oxidation.
The co-oxidation of Fe(II) and As(III) occurs under aerobic conditions, and Fe(II) may largely determine the fate of As(III), but the effect of Fe(II) on the As(III) oxidation is barely explored. In this research, the limiting and driving roles of Fe(II) in As(III) oxidation were systematically studied through batch kinetic studies in combi-nation with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS), and quenching experiments. The results showed that As(III) oxidation efficiency increased with the increase of Fe/As molar ratio (from 63.1% to 98.3%), but decreased with the in-crease of pH (from 96.0% to 44.2%) and the increase of air flow rate (from 88.1% to 75.1%). The Fe(II) oxidation rate increased with the increase of pH and air flow rate. When Fe(II) was oxidized rapidly, As(III) was more likely to be immobilized in the inner sphere of formed Fe (hydr)oxides, limiting As(III) oxidation. On the other hand, Fe(II) was oxidized to produce Fe (hydr)oxides to adsorb or fix As(III); meanwhile, the ROS generated by Fenton -like reaction of Fe(II) promoted As(III) oxidation, especially, center dot O-2(-) and H2O2 were important ROS that drove the As(III) oxidation. These findings might provide a new insight for Fe(II) and As(III) geochemistry cycling in naturally occurring environment.
