Bio-geo-chemistry of minor (Fe, Mn) and trace elements (As, Pb, Zn) in soils and sediments

                 Arsenic in soils over geochemical anomalies, Echassières, Allier, France

Arsenic sorption on iron oxides as an ultimate sink for arsenic after long term weathering. Changes in arsenic speciation in a soil profile developed on FeAsS and FeAs2 mineralized schists in the Echassières region, Allier, France. Concentrations of As, Cu, and Zn indicate some enrichment relative to the bedrock in the upper part of the saprolite (B and C1 horizons) and a progressive depletion towards surficial A2–A00 horizons. SEM photograph displaying the typical euhedral cubic crystals of pharmacosiderite (Ph) formed after hydrothermal weathering of primary iron–arsenic sulfides minerals. XRD patterns show the progressive disappearance of this crystalline towards the upper part of the saprolite; the main Bragg reflections of muscovite (Mu) and biotite (Bt) are also indicated. Fourier filtered contributions of the second neighbor contributions to the EXAFS spectra  at As K-edge indicate that As is adsorbed on HFO in topsoils horizons.

Arsenic in acid mine drainage

The key role of microorganisms in immobilizing arsenic in acid mine drainage. Massive bacterial oxidation of iron and arsenic leads to the formation of spectacular outcrops of arsenic-bearing (up to 20 wt% As) sediments and meter-wide stromatolites (bottom center) at the Carnoulès (Gard, France) acid mine drainage. The proportion of seasonally alternating As(III) and As(V) species associated with ferric oxides can be quantified by XANES spectroscopy (right). SEM  micrograph of winter sediments (top right) shows the close association between Acidithiobacillus ferrooxydans, which oxidizes only Fe(II), and a Fe(III)-arsenite, tooeleite (Morin et al. Amer Mineral 2007). This rare mineral, with a distinctive layer structure (top center) is the main component of the stromatolite (bottom left). from Morin & Calas, Elements (2006)
