In this study, we simulate the glass transition temperature and viscosity of SOA over the globe using the global chemical transport model, GEOS-Chem. The simulated spatial distributions show that SOA at the surface exist as liquid over equatorial regions and oceans, semisolid in the midlatitude continental regions, and glassy solid over lands with low relative humidity. The predicted SOA viscosities are mostly consistent with the available measurements. In the free troposphere, SOA particles are mostly predicted to be semisolid at 850 hPa and glassy solid at 500 hPa, except over tropical regions including Amazonia, where SOA are predicted to be low viscous. Phase state also exhibits seasonal variation with a higher frequency of semisolid and solid particles in winter compared to warmer seasons. We calculate equilibration time scales of SOA partitioning (τ<sub>eq</sub>) and effective mass accommodation coefficient (α<sub>eff</sub>), indicating that τ<sub>eq</sub> is shorter than the chemical time step of GEOS-Chem of 20 min and α<sub>eff</sub> is close to unity for most locations at the surface level, supporting the application of equilibrium SOA partitioning. However, τ<sub>eq</sub> is prolonged and α<sub>eff</sub> is lowered over drylands and most regions in the upper troposphere, suggesting that kinetically limited growth would need to be considered for these regions in future large-scale model studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":15,"journal":{"name":"ACS Earth and Space Chemistry","volume":"9 2","pages":"288–302 288–302"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsearthspacechem.4c00281","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143444084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effect of electron shuttles and Fe(III)-organic-matter(Fe(III)-OM) complexes on microbial Fe(III) reduction is mainly based on a few early isolated model strains. Due to variations in experimental methods among different researchers, it remains unclear whether these two types of compounds influence different Fe(III)-reducing bacteria differently at varying cell numbers. To address this question, we conducted cell suspension experiments with <i>Shewanella oneidensis</i> MR-1, <i>Aeromonas</i> sp. CD and <i>Aeromonas</i> sp. XH, and evaluated reduction rates of Fe(III)-citrate and ferrihydrite with or without AQDS at three different inoculum concentrations. Our results showed that electron shuttles promoted Fe(III) reduction to different extents among these bacteria, along with varying ratios of the rates of Fe(III)-OM reduction and ferrihydrite reduction. Furthermore, cell numbers also influenced the impact of electron shuttle on Fe(III) reduction; ferrihydrite reduction rates were not increasing proportionally with increasing inoculum concentrations when electron shuttles were present. Comparative genomics suggested that differences in the identity of the Fe(III) reductase and the type of Fe(III)-chelators potentially synthesized probably led to these varied promotional effects. These results highlight the significant differences between model and nonmodel Fe(III)-reducing bacteria, suggesting that the presence of Fe(III)-OM complexes and electron shuttles may determine the presence and abundances of certain Fe(III)-reducing bacteria in different environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":15,"journal":{"name":"ACS Earth and Space Chemistry","volume":"9 2","pages":"241–252 241–252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143444066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the morphological and chemical properties preserved in sediments impacted by a modern euxinic spring, an early Earth proxy, as compared to adjacent unimpacted sediments. We used X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze the mineralogy of bulk sediment and isolated clay fractions. We further examined the morphology and chemistry of smectite clay nanoparticles using scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). XRD results show that pyrite and barite are present in all of the impacted sediments but absent in the unimpacted sediments. Although grain size analysis shows the impacted samples have more clay-sized particles, the mineralogy of impacted and unimpacted clay fractions is composed of smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, and illite clays. We further focused on smectite clay nanoparticles, as they are known to be sensitive proxies for redox conditions. Smectites with a platy and cornflake texture were prevalent in all samples. However, EDX results reveal differences between the smectites in the impacted and unimpacted samples: impacted smectites additionally incorporate S, Ba, and Sr. Furthermore, STEM–EDX shows evidence of nanoscale barite and pyrite precipitation on the impacted smectites. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that (1) XRD-detectable sulfur bearing minerals in a soil profile exposed to euxinic groundwater are present outside the zone with visible sediment iron reduction and (2) Al-smectite nanoparticles primarily respond to euxinic conditions by immobilizing cations via adsorption or interlayer cation exchange rather than significantly changing their octahedral sheet cation composition.</p>","PeriodicalId":15,"journal":{"name":"ACS Earth and Space Chemistry","volume":"9 2","pages":"265–276 265–276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143444220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It possibly landed on Earth as a metal phosphide (schreibersite, (Fe,Ni)<sub>3</sub>P), throughout the Heavy Meteor Bombardment during the Archean Era. Its subsequent corrosion by water led to P-oxygenated compounds, which are the subject of this kinetic computational study, which complements our previous thermodynamic characterization. The reaction was studied at the periodic DFT level, simulating the water corrosion reaction on the reactive Fe<sub>2</sub>NiP schreibersite (001) surface. Results show that the time scale of the reaction at 350 K is a few hours.</p>","PeriodicalId":15,"journal":{"name":"ACS Earth and Space Chemistry","volume":"9 2","pages":"211–216 211–216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143444041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
