This study found that sulfidated zero-valent iron (S-ZVI) can effectively sequestrate humic acid-complexed heavy metals. In contrast to unsulfidated iron, S-ZVI can completely remove heavy metals within a short period of time. The sequestration of heavy metals is controlled by the formation of metal sulfides and the enhanced corrosion of iron hydroxides, resulting in the stable immobilization of heavy metals in soil.
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) such as Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and As(V) are ubiquitously present in co-contaminated soil and shallow groundwater, where the humic acid (HA)-rich environments can significantly influence their sequestration. In this study, sulfidated zero-valent iron (S-ZVI) was found to be able to simultaneously sequestrate these HA-complexed HMs. Specially, the HA-complexed Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and As(V) could be completely removed by S-ZVI within 60 min, while only 35-50% of them could be sequestrated within 72 h by unsulfidated ZVI. Interestingly, different from the S-ZVI corrosion behavior, the kinetics of HM sequestration by S-ZVI consisted of an initial slow reaction stage (or a lag phase) and then a fairly rapid reaction process. Characterization results indicated that forming metal sulfides controlled the HM sequestration at the first stage, whereas the enhanced ZVI corrosion and thus-improved adsorption and/or coprecipitation by iron hydroxides governed the second stage. Both metal-oxygen and metal-sulfur bonds in the solid phase could be confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. Moreover, the transformation of S species from SO42-, SO32-, and S-2(2-) to S2- under reducing conditions could allow the sequestrated HMs to remain stable over a long period.
