Myojin Rift, Izu–Bonin Arc as the Modern Analog of Hokuroku Basin, Northeast Japan: Geotectonic Significance of the New Hydrothermal Deposit in the Back-Arc Rift

A huge hydrothermal field, named the "Hakurei Sulfide Deposit" (HSD) was discovered in the North Myojin Rift (NMR), Izu–Bonin Back-Arc Rift (BAR) during the 2003 survey cruise of R/V Hakurei-maru No.2 . This paper investigates the geotectonic features and the tectonic setting of ore deposits between the NMR and the Hokuroku Basin, which is representative of kuroko fields in Japan. The topographic features of the NMR and the Hokuroku Basin are similar. Both have a clear ring structure surrounded by faults and the east–west width is almost the same. Many kuroko deposits were formed on the extrusion centers of the five pre-mineral acidic volcanic complexes, located in a loop inside the Hokuroku Basin. In the case of the NMR, seven submarine volcanoes are also located in a loop, and the HSD formed inside the summit caldera of Bayonnaise Knoll, which is one of the seven volcanoes. These topographic similarities highlight that the NMR is a modern analog of the Hokuroku Basin. Identifying such similarities is extremely useful when prospecting kuroko deposits on land equivalents as well as on the other segments of the Izu–Bonin BAR. The probability of finding kuroko deposits on land is expected to increase when the following are identified: (i) location of back-arc rift and the volcanic front; (ii) direction of the arc–trench system and intra-rift faults (and/or fracture zone); (iii) position of submarine volcanoes surrounding a back-arc rift; and (iv) intersections of a caldera fault and intra-rift fault (and/or fracture zone) inside the summit caldera of submarine volcanoes. Within these aforementioned points a ring structure, acidic volcanic complexes that circle the circuit and submarine calderas along the volcanic front, are an important indication of submarine hydrothermal deposits.     

A Simple Kinetic Model for Autoxidation of S(IV) Oxides Catalyzed by Iron and/or Manganese Ions

The reaction kinetics of S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by single metal ions of Mn(II) and Fe(II) or Fe(III) and by a mixture of Mn(II) and Fe(II) under the conditions representative for acidified atmospheric liquid water was investigated. A simple power law kinetic model based on the stability constants for metal-sulfito complexes formed during the first step of a radical chain mechanism predicts well the kinetics for the reactions catalyzed by single metal ions. The calculated stability constants for iron (5.7×10³ dm³ mol^–1) and manganese (10×10⁴ dm³ mol^–1) sulfito complexes are close to those reported in the literature. The catalytic synergism between Mn(II) and Fe(II) was confirmed. For this system the following power law rate equation was suggested:r_tot = S_Fe · r_Fe + S_Mn · r_Mn ,where r_Fe and r_Mn are the reaction rates in the presence of Fe(II) and Mn(II), respectively. S_Fe and S_Mn are proportional factors, which account for the synergistic effect. The proposed power law rate equation predicts the reaction kinetics very well. The values of S_Fe (1.35) and S_Mn (15) indicate that the influence of Fe(II)/Fe(III) on Mn(II)/Mn(III) cycling is larger than, vice versa, agreeing with the reaction mechanism proposed for the S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by mixed metal ions.     

pH effect on Re(VII) and Se(IV) diffusion in compacted GMZ bentonite

In a high-level radioactive waste (HLW) repository, pH has an impact on the solubility, migration, and adsorption of radionuclides. Thus, understanding the effects of pH on the diffusion of radionuclides is essential for long-term disposal of HLW. In this work, the diffusion behaviors of Re(VII) and Se(IV) in compacted Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite at different pH have been investigated by a through-diffusion method. The effective diffusion coefficient, i.e., D_e values of Re(VII) and Se(IV) were in the range of (1.0–2.4) × 10⁻¹¹ m²/s at pH 3.0–10.0 and (0.38–2.3) × 10⁻¹¹ m²/s at pH 3.0–9.0. In the case of Re(VII), the D_e values remained almost unchanged probably because ReO₄⁻ was the dominant species in the pH range of 3.0–10.0. In the case of Se(IV), whose predominant species were HSeO₃⁻ at pH < 9.0 and SeO₃²⁻ at pH ≥ 9.0, the D_e values decreased by a factor of 3–6 at pH 9.0, i.e., D_e (pH < 9.0)/D_e (pH 9.0) ≈ 3–6, implying that the species with a higher valence state had a stronger anion exclusion effect. The decrease in D_e values can be explained by the diffusion species of Se(IV). Additionally, the rock capacity factor α decreased with the increase of pH. HSeO₃⁻ was absorbed on GMZ bentonite with distribution coefficient K_d values in the range of (1.0–2.5) × 10⁻⁴ m³/kg at pH ≤ 8.0, whereas SeO₃²⁻ was negligibly sorbed at pH > 8.0.

S(IV) Autoxidation in Atmospheric Liquid Water: The Role of Fe(II) and the Effect of Oxalate

The reactivity of dissolved iron compounds towards different pollutants and photooxidants in atmospheric liquid water depends upon the oxidation state and speciation of iron. Our measurements of the oxidation state of dissolved iron eluted from aerosol particles (Dae: 0.4–1.6 m) collected in the urban atmosphere of Ljubljana showed that a large fraction of the iron content is present as Fe(II). The concentration ratio [Fe(II)]/[Fe(III)] varied between 0.9 and 3.1. The kinetics of S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by Fe(II) under the conditions representative for acidified atmospheric liquid water and the influence of oxalate on this reaction under dark conditions was investigated. The reaction rate is the same if Fe(II) or Fe(III) is used as a catalyst under the condition that Fe(II) can be oxidized in Fe(III), which is the catalytically active species. Oxalate has a strong inhibiting effect on the S(IV) autoxidation in the presence of Fe(II). The reaction is autocatalytic with an induction period, that increases with higher concentrations of oxalate. The inhibiting effect of oxalate differs according to whether iron is initially in the Fe(II) or Fe(III) state. However, in both cases the inhibition by oxalate is a result of the formation of complexes with the catalyst.     

Degradation of Isoprene in the Presence of Sulphoxy Radical Anions

Autoxidation of S(IV) initiated by manganese sulphate or potassium peroxydisulphate in alkaline aqueous solutions was significantly slowed down by dissolved isoprene, which decayed in the process. The laboratory experiments were carried out in a batch, perfectly mixed reactor, which had no gas space. The concentration–time profiles of oxygen were measured with a Clark-type electrode. The profiles of sulphite species and of isoprene were evaluated from the UV spectra of solutions. The kinetic analysis indicated that isoprene reacted directly with sulphate radical anions produced during the S(IV) autoxidation. A relative second-order rate constant of (2.12 ± 0.37) × 10⁹ M^–1 s^–1 was determined for this reaction at 25 °C, pH (8.0–8.5) and ionic strength of (1.7–4.9) × 10^–3 M (the reference rate constant of the reaction of sulphate radical anions with sulphite ions equalled 3.4 × 10⁸ M^–1 s^–1). A tentative mechanism of isoprene oxidation during S(IV) autoxidation, which included formation of isoprene – SO^– ₄ adduct, was based on the analogy to the gas-phase reactions of isoprene and to the liquid-phase reactions of sulphate radical anions with other compounds. Atmospheric significance of the aqueous-phase reaction of isoprene with sulphate radicals was discussed. Approximate analysis showed the reaction is a potential sink for isoprene in the aqueous phase and in the gas–liquid systems of high liquid water content (LWC > 10^–5 m³ m^–3). The aqueous-phase oxidation of isoprene can produce secondary pollutants, and influence transformation and the long-range transport of SO₂ in the atmosphere.

The Effect of Atmospheric Organic Compounds on the Fe-Catalyzed S(IV) Autoxidation in Aqueous Solution

Laboratory experiments were conducted with real atmospheric aerosol particles as well as with synthetic solutions under dark conditions, to simulate some of the chemical features of aerosols. In solutions obtained by the leaching of aerosols (size range >D _ae: 0.4–1.6 m) that contained sufficient amounts of transition metal ions (e.g. Fe) and organic species (e.g. oxalate), S(IV) oxidation rates were significantly lower than those expected from the Fe-catalyzed S(IV) autoxidation in Milli-Q water. The results suggest that oxalate is responsible for much of the observed inhibition. Acetate and formate also inhibit the reaction, but to a much lesser extent. Oxalate has a strong inhibiting effect on the Fe-catalyzed S(IV) autoxidation at all investigated pH values (2.8, 3.7 and 4.5). It was established that Fe(III)-oxalato complexes affect the redox cycling of Fe(II)/Fe(III) and that the observed decrease of the reaction rate is caused by the reduced amount of catalytically active Fe(III) due to the complexation with oxalate. For the system Fe-S(IV)-O₂-oxalate at initial pH 3.7 the reaction rate was calculated using exponential simplification to account for oxalate influence on the amount of free Fe(III) by the following equation:–r_S(IV) = k · [S(IV)] · [Fe(III))] · e ^-b·[Ox]
