摘要

Multi-isotopes can be effectively utilized to offer new insights into heavy-metal oxidation dynamics and variations in redox conditions. Therefore, hydrochemical data and isotopic characteristics (δ18OH2O, δD, δ34SSO4, δ18OSO4, δ15NNO3, δ18ONO3, δ13CDOC and δ13CDIC) were determined the oxidation mechanism of Sb(III) to Sb(V) in D3x4 groundwater. The results showed the concentration of Sb in D3x4 groundwater ranges from 0.005 to 20.700 mg/L, with an average of 2.300 mg/L, and Sb(V) represented the dominant form present within D3x4 groundwater. The δ34S、δ15N values in D3x4 groundwater ranges from -4.20‰ to 6.30‰, 1.20‰ to 22.70‰, respectively. the δ13CDOC and δ13CDIC content in D3x4 groundwater vary in the ranges of -26.97‰ to -16.70‰ and -17.84‰ to -2.30‰, respectively. Stibnite oxidation significantly influenced the enrichment of Sb(V) and SO42−, while microbial nitrification notably contributed to elevated NO3 levels in high-Sb groundwater by converting Sb(III) to Sb(V). The presence of redox-active moieties in DOM facilitated electron transfer for promoting Sb(III) oxidation rate during the stibnite oxidation process. Additionally, microbial oxidative degradation of DOM can promote Sb(V) enrichment, with carbon serving as an energy source for nitrification, facilitated this process and enhances the oxidation rate of Sb(III) to Sb(V). These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the geochemical behavior of antimony in groundwater and enhance our knowledge regarding Sb(III) oxidation mechanism in oxygenated groundwater.
