Abiotic aerobic oxidation pathways of stibnite revealed by oxygen and sulfur isotope systematics of sulfate
The environmental threat posed by stibnite is an important geoenvironmental issue of cur-rent concern.To better understand stibnite oxidation pathways,aerobic abiotic batch exper-iments were conducted in aqueous solution with varying δ18OH2O value at initial neutral pH for different lengths of time(15-300 days).The sulfate oxygen and sulfur isotope composi-tions as well as concentrations of sulfur and antimony species were determined.The sulfur isotope fractionation factor(Δ34SSO4-stibnite)values decreased from 0.8‰ to-2.1‰ during the first 90 days,and increased to 2.6‰ at the 180 days,indicating the dominated intermediate sulfur species such as S2O32-,S0,and H2S(g)involved in Sb2S3 oxidation processes.The in-corporation of O into sulfate derived from O2(~100%)indicated that the dissociated O2 was only directly adsorbed on the stibnite-S sites in the initial stage(0-90 days).The proportion of O incorporation into sulfate from water(27%-52%)increased in the late stage(90-300 days),which suggested the oxidation mechanism changed to hydroxyl attack on stibnite-S sites promoted by nearby adsorbed O2 on stibnite-Sb sites.The exchange of oxygen between sul-fite and water may also contributed to the increase of water derived O into SO42-.The new insight of stibnite oxidation pathway contributes to the understanding of sulfide oxidation mechanism and helps to interpret field data.
