Abstract

Life and element cycling on Earth is directly related to electron transfer (or redox) reactions. An understanding of biogeochemical redox processes is crucial for predicting and protecting environmental health and can provide new opportunities for engineered remediation strategies. Energy can be released and stored by means of redox reactions via the oxidation of labile organic carbon or inorganic compounds (electron donors) by microorganisms coupled to the reduction of electron acceptors including humic substances, iron-bearing minerals, transition metals, metalloids, and actinides. Environmental redox processes play key roles in the formation and dissolution of mineral phases. Redox cycling of naturally occurring trace elements and their host minerals often controls the release or sequestration of inorganic contaminants. Redox processes control the chemical speciation, bioavailability, toxicity, and mobility of many major and trace elements including Fe, Mn, C, P, N, S, Cr, Cu, Co, As, Sb, Se, Hg, Tc, and U. Redox-active humic substances and mineral surfaces can catalyze the redox transformation and degradation of organic contaminants. In this review article, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of biogeochemical redox processes and their impact on contaminant fate and transport, including future research needs.

  • The efficiency of Mn oxides as an electron pump for a wide range of redox reactions is unique among common soil minerals.

    “The efficiency of Mn oxides as an B electron pump ^ for a wide range of redox reactions is unique among common soil minerals [28].”

    From Chemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments (2016) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Major Elements, Minerals, and Humic Substances section (p. 2) says Mn oxides have chemical influence disproportionate to their abundance and participate in a wide variety of redox reactions. It does not establish that they function as an efficient “electron pump” or that this property is unique among common soil minerals. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Organic material, sulfides, and ferrous species appear to be the dominant reductants.

    “Organic material, sulfides, and ferrous species appear to be the dominant reductants.”

    From Chemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments (2016) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Major Elements, Minerals, and Humic Substances section (p. 2) describes sulfide as a reductant, organic compounds as electron donors, and Fe(II) as a powerful reductant. Research Needs (p. 6) also describes electron transfer by reduced humic substances. These passages support the listed materials' reducing roles, but do not establish that they are the dominant reductants. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Very stable Cr(III)-organic complexes form when Cr(VI) is reduced by soil organic matter.

    “Very stable Cr(III)-organic complexes form when Cr(VI) is reduced by soil organic matter [28, 30].”

    From Chemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments (2016) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Impact on Trace Elements section (p. 2) says that soluble Cr(VI) can be reduced to sparingly soluble Cr(III). It does not say that soil organic matter causes this reduction or that very stable Cr(III)-organic complexes form. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The geochemical cycling of Se parallels that of sulfur so Se is predominantly cycled through biological pathways.

    “The geochemical cycling of Se parallels that of sulfur so Se is predominantly cycled through biological pathways [9, 28].”

    From Chemical Processes Affecting the Mobility of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments (2016) · cites this paper as [28]

    The table in “Impact on Trace Elements” (p. 4) calls Se an “analog of S,” supporting the sulfur comparison. The review’s opening summary (p. 1) includes Se among elements affected by redox processes, but neither passage establishes that Se is predominantly cycled through biological pathways. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Reductive dissolution of As-rich Fe(III) (hydr)oxides mobilizes geogenic As.

    “The simultaneous presence of high dissolved As and Fe(II) concentrations in anoxic groundwater has led to the conclusion that reductive dissolution of As rich Fe(III) (hydr)oxides mobilizes geogenic As (see Figure 2 in Borch et al ., 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
