Abstract
The fate of arsenic sulfide sludge (ASS), a typical precipitationproduct of acid smelting wastewater, is readily affected by the surrounding conditions when deposited in environment. When exposed to sunlight, the dissolution and oxidation of ASS were markedly accelerated. However, the photocatalytic transformation mechanism of ASS is still unclear. Herein, the release and oxidation of As(III) in ASS under visible light was investigated by employing artificial arsenic sulfide with Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions. Results show that the coexisting ferric ions are critical to promote the photo-oxidation of As(III) released from the parental solid into As(V). The photo-oxidation rate can reach 149 μM/h in the presence of 0.5 mM Fe(II) ions at pH 1.3, ~5 times of that in the absence of Fe(II). The pH-dependent mechanism of photocatalytic oxidation of As(III) stimulated by Fe(II) ions is proposed and verified. In acid conditions (pH 1.3 and 3), photo-generated hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were promoted by Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycling catalysis with the assistance of the reductive sulfur species from ASS, e.g. S2-and SO32-, and thus accelerated the oxidation of As(III). While at pH 7, the nascent ferric hydroxide colloids enhanced the oxidation rate of As(III) via photo-induced ligand-to-metal-charge transfer (LMCT) mechanism. These findings can help in predicting and controlling the fate of real arsenic-containing sludge in sunlit environments.
