Strong Substance Exchange at Paddy Soil-Water Interface Promotes Nonphotochemical Formation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Overlying Water

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 58(17), P. 7403 - 7414

Published: April 17, 2024

Photochemically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) are widespread on the earth's surface under sunlight irradiation. However, nonphotochemical ROS generation in water (e.g., paddy overlying water) has been largely neglected. This work elucidated drivers of and its spatial distribution undisturbed water, by combining imaging technology with situ monitoring. It was found that H2O2 concentrations formed three waters could reach 0.03–16.9 μM, profiles exhibited heterogeneity. The O2 planar-optode indicated redox interfaces were not always at soil–water interface but also possibly layer, depending soil properties. facilitated a rapid turnover reducing oxidizing substances, creating an ideal environment for ROS. Additionally, electron-donating capacities increased 4.5–8.4 times compared to top layers. Importantly, field investigation results confirmed sustainable •OH through pathways constituted significant proportion total daily production (>50%), suggesting comparable or even greater role than photochemical generation. In summary, process reported this study greatly enhances understanding natural processes soils.

Frequent cycles of flooding and drainage in paddy soils lead to the reductive dissolution iron (Fe) minerals reoxidation Fe(II) species, all while generating a robust consistent output reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we present comprehensive assessment temporal spatial variations Fe ROS during flooding-drainage process representative soil. Our laboratory column experiments showed that decrease dissolved O2 concentration led rapid reduction below water-soil interface, aqueous was transformed into solid phases over an extended time. As result, •OH production capacity liquid reduced improved. The increased from 227-271 μmol kg-1 (within 1-11 cm depth) 500-577 499-902 after 50 day, 3 month, 1 year incubation, respectively. During drainage, dynamic triggered by consumption oxidation. ROS-trapping film situ capture revealed soil surface active zone for intense H2O2 production, limited observed deeper layers (>5 cm) due penetration. These findings provide more insights complex interplay between cycling redox transition zones fields.

Differential interactions between natural clay minerals and dissolved organic matter affect reactive oxygen species formation

Water Research, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 249, P. 120984 - 120984

Published: Dec. 6, 2023

Naturally occurring reactive oxygen species (ROS) are widely involved in many environmental processes. Here we investigated the ROS generation associated with interaction between complexed natural clay minerals (CMs) and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Our results showed that among nine chemical-reduced CMs (CR-CMs), light brown CR-CM (CR-CM 7) generated highest via oxygenation, relying on structural Fe(II) (Fe can transfer electrons to oxygen) instead of total as previously reported. Moreover, DOM affected oxygenation CR-CMs differently. The tight 7 formed DOM-complexed Fe, while weak dark gold 1) black 5) exhibited decreased efficiencies. Mechanism studies revealed were through three pathways but all followed a similar one-electron process presence DOM. We further developed three-layer geobattery model system demonstrated long electron driven by CR-CMs/DOM could extend several centimetres across oxic-anoxic interface, even without redox switching. These findings offer new insights into CMs-involved transformation environments.
