Dissolved organic matter (DOM) sequestration is critical to soil formation of bauxite residue (BR), where mineral weathering and neutralization or acidification are driven by microbial- and plant root-derived organic acids. This study used mixed organic acids to simulate mineral weathering during ecological engineering and examined DOM molecular fractionation and adsorption in BR minerals.
Using high-resolution electrospray ionization Orbitrap mass spectrometry, the study characterized selective adsorption and molecular fractionation of DOM derived from microbial decomposition of plant mulch. Organic acid treatments progressively weathered sodalite-like alkaline minerals, formed amorphous Al/Si/Fe phases, lowered pH, and increased reactive surface sites in mineral phases.
The slightly weathered and highly weathered BR minerals preferentially adsorbed high-molecular-weight organics rich in aromatic and/or polyphenolic domains. Synchrotron-based Al, Si, and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and FTIR mapping further revealed strong associations between secondary Al/Si/Fe phases and protein-, carboxylic-, aromatic-, and oxygenated lipid-like compounds. These findings highlight the role of mineral weathering in controlling DOM stabilization during eco-engineered soil formation of bauxite residue.
