This study investigates the effects of aging pH and time of AMD solution on Fe mineralogy and HMs speciation in sediments from Dabaoshan mining area. The results show that increasing AMD solution pH leads to higher total contents and reducible fraction of HMs in the sediments, while the oxidizable fraction of all HMs is negligible.
Fe (oxyhydr)oxides are the main components that accumulate heavy metals (HMs) in the acid mine drainage (AMD) sediments, but how the aging pH and time of AMD solution affects the Fe mineralogy and HMs speciation remains ambiguous. Herein, we determined the impacts of aging pH and time on the Fe mineralogy and chemical fractions of HMs in the sediments from Dabaoshan mining area using mineral characterizations, chemical extraction, and AMD solution incubation. For the natural AMD sediments, jarosite and goethite are the major Fe (oxyhydr)oxides in sample S1 with solution pH 2.68, while schwertmannite is dominant in sample S2 with solution pH 6.78, co-existing minor ferrihydrite. With increasing the AMD solution pH, the total contents of HMs (expect for As) and the reducible fraction of HMs (expect for Pb) in the sediments both increase. The HMs of Mn, Zn, Ni, and Cd are mainly associated with Fe (oxyhydr)oxides, while Pb possibly exists as Pb-bearing minerals (e. g., PbSO4) in the sediments. The oxidizable fraction of all HMs is negligible in both sediments. When the AMD solution of S1 was aged at different pHs, schwertmannite is dominant initially at all pHs, with a higher crystallinity being at a lower pH. With increasing aging time, the pre-formed schwertmannite transforms to goethite and jarosite at pH < 3, while it keeps stable at pH 5 and 7 due to the accumulation of more HMs. These new insights are essential to assess the mobility and availability of HMs in the AMD-affected areas.
