摘要

Natural organic matter (NOM)-mediated redox cycling of elemental mercury Hg(0) and mercuric Hg(II) is critically important in affecting inorganic mercury transformation and bioavailability. However, these processes are not well under stood, particularly in anoxic water and sediments where NOM can be reduced and toxic methyunercury is formed. We show that under dark anoxic conditions reduced organic matter (NOM_re) simultaneously reduces and oxidizes Hg via different reaction mechanisms. Reduction of Hg(II) is primarily caused by reduced quinones. However, Hg(0) oxidation is controlled by thiol functional groups via oxidative complexation, which is demonstrated by the oxidation of Hg(0) by low-molecular-weight thiol compounds, dutathione, and mercaptoacetic acid, under redu- cing conditions. Depending on the NOM source, oxidation state, and NOM:Hg ratio, NOM reduces Hg(ll) at initial rates ranging from 0.4 to 5.5 h~(-1), which are about 2 to 6 times higher than those observed for photochemical reduction of Hg(II) in open surface waters. However, rapid reduction of Hg(II) by NOM_re can be offset by oxidation of Hg(0) with an estimated initial rate as high as S.4 h~ . This dual role of NOM_re is expected to strongly influence the availability of reactive Hg and thus to have important implications for microbial uptake and methylation in anoxic environments.
