Abstract The bulk of arsenic (As) at contaminated sites is frequently associated with iron (hydr)oxides. Various studies ascribe increasing dissolved As concentrations to the transformation of iron (hydr)oxides into iron sulfides, which is initiated by dissolved sulfide. We investigated whether this processes can be utilized as a source treatment approach using compost-based permeable reactive barriers (PRB), which promote microbial sulfate reduction. Arsenic-bearing aquifer sediment from a contaminated industrial site showed a decrease in As content of <10% after 420 days of percolation with sulfide-free artificial groundwater. In contrast, water that had previously passed through organic matter and exhibited sulfide concentrations of 10−30 mg/L decreased As content in the sediment by 87% within 360 days. X-ray diffraction showed no arsenic sulfides, but XANES spectra (X-ray absorption near edge structure) and associated linear combinations revealed that adsorbed arsenate of the original sediment was in part reduced to arsenite and indicated the formation of minor amounts of a substance that contains As and sulfur. The speciation of dissolved As changed from initially As(V)-dominated to As(III)-dominated after sulfide flushing was started, which increases the mobility of As. Because sulfide can be supplied not only by compost-based PRBs but also by direct injection, sulfide flushing has a wide range of application for the source treatment of arsenic.
