Abstract

Organic matter plays an important role in the mobilization of iodine in groundwater system. In this study, the high iodine groundwater from shallow and middle aquifers in Datong basin in China was collected to perform the effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on iodine mobilization in groundwater. The structure of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in groundwater was characterized by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). The results show that the range of total iodine concentration in groundwater is 1.97-926.10 μg/L. Iodide is the main species of iodine in groundwater. The total iodine concentration has a positive correlation with DOM (r=0.84) and a negative correlation with biodegradable organic matter (r=-0.71), indicating that the organic matter in high iodine groundwater experience more intensive biodegradation. The differences of DOM molecular composition between high and low iodine groundwater further show that microorganisms preferentially use small molecular biodegradable compounds such as CHO, CHON1 and CHON2 to promote the release of bound iodine into groundwater during degradation. The hydrochemical fate of groundwater iodine under the reducing environment is mainly related to the reductive dissolution of iron (hydrogen) oxides and the biodegradation of organic matter, during which iodine species changed, while under oxidizing environment, it could be related to the transformation of natural organic matter.
