Retention of arsenic, chromium and boron on an outcropping clay-rich rock formation (the Tégulines Clay, eastern France).
Science of the Total Environment 2018 November 16
The retention behavior of three toxic chemicals, As, Cr and B, was investigated for an outcropping rock formation, the Albian Tégulines Clay (France, Aube). At a shallow depth, Tégulines Clay is affected by weathering processes leading to contrasted geochemical conditions with depth. One of the main features of the weathering is the occurrence of a redox transition zone near the surface. Batch sorption experiments of As(V), As(III), Cr(VI) and B were performed on samples collected at two depths representative either of oxidized or reduced mineral assemblages. Batch sorption experiments highlighted a distinct behavior between As, Cr and B oxyanions. Cr(VI) retention behavior was dominated by redox phenomena, notably its reduction to Cr(III). The in-situ redox state of the Tégulines Clay samples has a significant effect on Cr retention. On the contrary, As(V) reduction into As(III) is moderate and its retention slightly affected by the in-situ redox state of the Tégulines Clay. As(V) retention is higher than As(III) retention in agreement with literature data. B retention is strongly related to its natural abundance in the Tégulines clay samples. Distribution coefficient of B corrected from its natural content is expected to be very low for in-situ conditions. Finally, the retention and mobility of these oxyanions were affected by clay mineralogy, natural abundance, and reducing capacity of the Tegulines Clay.
