Abstract

The consumption of agricultural products grown on paddy soils contaminated with toxic element has a detrimental effect on human health. However, the processes and mechanisms of iron (Fe) mineral-associated arsenic (As) availability and As reactivity in different paddy soil profiles are not well understood. In this study, the fractions, immobilization, and release risk of As in eleven soil profiles from the Changzhutan urban agglomeration in China were investigated; these studied soils were markedly contaminated with As. Sequential extraction experiments were used to analyze fractions of As and Fe oxide minerals, and kinetic experiments were used to characterize the reactivity of Fe oxide minerals. The results showed that concentrations of total As and As fractions had a downward trend with depth, but the average proportions of As fractions only showed relatively small changes, which implied that the decrease in the total As concentrations influenced the changes in fraction concentrations along the sampling depth. Moreover, we found that easily reducible Fe (Feox1) mainly controlled the reductive dissolution of the Fe oxides, which suggest that the reductive dissolution process could potentially release As during the flooded period of rice production. In addition, a high proportion of As was specifically absorbed As (As-F2) (average 20.4%) in paddy soils, higher than that in other soils. The total organic carbon (TOC) content had a positive correlation with the amount of non-specifically bound As (As-F1) (R = 0.56), which means that TOC was one factor that affected the As extractability in the As-F1. Consequently, high inputs of organic fertilizers may elevate the release of As and accelerate the diffusion of As.

Highlights:

• Goethite and hematite played important roles in As immobilization in paddy soil.

• Easily reducible Fe (Feox1) mainly controlled the reductive dissolution of the Fe oxides.

• TOC showed a positive correlation with the amount of As-F1.

• High inputs of organic fertilizers may elevate the release of As.
