Arsenic has the ability to form a wide range of chemical bonds with carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur, resulting in a large variety of compounds that exhibit a host of chemical and biochemical properties. Besides the intriguing chemical diversity, arsenic also has the rare capacity to capture our imaginations in a way that few elements can duplicate: it invokes images of foul play that range from sinister to comedic (e.g., “inheritance powder” and arsenic-spiked elderberry wine). However, the emergence of serious large-scale human health problems from chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water has placed a high priority on understanding environmental arsenic mobility, toxicity, and bioavailability, and chemical speciation is key to these important questions. Ultimately, the purpose of arsenic speciation research is to predict future occurrences, mitigate contamination, and provide successful management of water resources. Chemical speciation is fundamental to understanding mobility and toxicity. Speciation affects arsenic solubility and solid-phase associations, and thus the mobility, of arsenic in natural waters. It is also critical to designing treatment strategies, understanding human exposure routes, and even developing medical applications (e.g., as a treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia; Antman 2001). As single- and multi-celled organisms are exposed to various forms of arsenic, they often alter its speciation to either utilize the arsenic for energy or to mitigate the detrimental effects of intracellular arsenic (detoxification). Some organisms can accumulate arsenic in cell material, which can be a concern if it accumulates in a human food product such as rice or seafood, but could be a potential remediation solution in hyper-accumulating plants (Ma et al. 2001). It is important to quantify speciation in addition to total amount of arsenic because …","PeriodicalId":49624,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry","volume":"66 1","pages":"185-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83855990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an example, using the keywords “arsenic” and “environmental” in the academic search engine Scopus yields >12,300 references (title, abstract, and keywords). However, there is also increasing recognition that the toxicology of As is controlled by the form (speciation) of As (Scopus “Arsenic” and “speciation” yields >2900 references). It is commonly held that inorganic As(III) is the most toxic form, followed by arsenate (As(V)), with the various methylated forms generally having much less toxicity, although the epidemiology of the methylated forms has not been as well studied (e.g., Bacquart et al. 2010; Kobayashi 2010; Quazi et al. 2011; Whaley-Martin et al. 2013). However, the effect of inorganic speciation on human metabolism is debatable because As(V) is rapidly reduced after ingestion. Recent studies have shown that cellular biomethylation can result in the production of trivalent methylated As species, which can be more toxic than inorganic As forms (e.g., Styblo et al. 2000; Mass et al. 2001; Dopp et al. 2010; Rahman and Hassler 2014). For a recent review of As toxicology, see Mitchell (2014, this volume). Because in most terrestrial waters As(III) occurs as a neutral species (H3AsO3°), arsenite is more difficult to remove from solution in terms of water treatment, without first undergoing an oxidation step (e.g., Hu et al. 2012). There are a large variety of techniques for the measurement of total As and arsenic species, both in the field and in the laboratory. For the former, the main challenges are analytical time, complexity of sample treatment and …","PeriodicalId":49624,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry","volume":"28 1","pages":"371-390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84402315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental approaches such as diffraction or spectroscopic methods usually provide fingerprint information about the material under investigation. The interpretation of measured data is either done by reference to analogue materials or by constructing a theoretical (e.g., structural) model that fits the experimental data. For the latter, computational methods have become very powerful in recent years. For example, Rietveld refinement of powder diffraction data or curve fitting of various spectra is now done on a routine basis. The continuous improvement in hardware performance resulting in a huge and progressive increase of computing power by a factor of ~1000 per decade, as well as advanced algorithms and codes provide the basis for predictive modeling of material properties ab initio , i.e., from first principles using quantum chemical methods such as density functional theory (DFT). DFT enthalpy predictions for the major lower mantle minerals, MgSiO3 perovskite and post-perovskite, periclase (MgO) and CaSiO3 perovskite at zero temperature, over the relevant pressure range from the transition zone to the core-mantle boundary can be made in a few hours on an office PC. Free energy calculations for these phases at finite temperatures using lattice vibrational modes in the (quasi-)harmonic approximation require at most a couple of days. More realistic compositions of these mantle minerals with Fe substituting some of the Mg atoms in a solid solution are computationally more demanding but have also become accessible. The same is true for structural investigations of disordered phases, such as glasses, melts and fluids. Both first-principles and classical molecular dynamics simulations are useful methods for a statistically significant sampling of disordered structures. …","PeriodicalId":49624,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry","volume":"72 1","pages":"691-743"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86335412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it has now become somewhat easier to perform experiments in situ at high temperatures (HT), high pressures (HP) or under combined high temperature and pressure (HP-HT). These types of experiments are becoming routine on crystals, glasses and liquids (see Shen and Wang 2014, this volume). High-temperature experiments are important because most of the physical properties of high-temperature liquids, such as magmas and melts, are related to their atomic structure. Consequently, it is important to probe the local environment of the atoms in the sample under the conditions noted above (e.g., HT). However, at very high temperatures (~≥ 1200 °C) it is difficult to use conventional furnaces because of a number of experimental difficulties associated with their use: temperature regulation, thermal inertia and spatial obstruction of the sample. Due to the progress made in the development of lasers and X-ray, neutron and magnetic sources it is now possible to perform experiments in situ at HT, HP and HT-HP on samples of millimeter or micron size. In this chapter, we discuss some of these noncommercial methods used in performing experiments at HT, and outline the best choices for heating systems with regard to the experimental requirements. Different commercial heating systems are available such as the systems available from Linkam® ( http://www.linkam.co.uk/ ) or Leica® ( http://www.leica-microsystems.com/ ) for example.

Arsenic was known to the ancient civilizations; there are written Greek, Roman, and Chinese reports about minerals and substances of this element (Emsley 2001). The discovery of elemental arsenic is attributed to Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) who prepared it by reduction of As2O3. The common public association of arsenic and poison is the heritage of a long history of eliminating unwanted and unloved ones with compounds of this element. Mary Ann Cotton (1832–1873) was charged with murder of her mother, three husbands, a lover, eight of her own children, and seven stepchildren, all of them with an arsenic-based de-worming compound (Emsley 2005). Kořinek (1675) gave a vivid and frightening account on how a natural ferric sulfo-arsenate (bukovskýite) was used to poison the German armies of Albrecht Habsburg who invaded Bohemia in 1304. An arsenic derivative called lewisite (2-chlorovinyl-dichloroarsine) was used in the World War I (Emsley 2001). On the other hand, brightly-colored arsenic compounds were used in all imaginable products well into the 20th century. Arsenic whetted the appetite of many children as green arsenical chemicals were used as cake decorations and coatings of sugar sweets (Emsley 2005). The death of Napoleon Bonaparte has been regarded for a long time as a consequence of ingested or inhaled arsenical compouds (e.g., Aldersey-Williams 2011), however there are alternative interpretations (Lugli et al. 2011). Accidental mass arsenic poisoning occurred in Manchester in 1900 when many men drank beer contaminated with arsenic. The arsenic was tracked back to pyrite which was used to produce sulfuric acid which was employed in the manufacture of glucose for this batch of beer (Emsley 2005).

The typical RI includes the collection and chemical analyses of site media, including surface and subsurface soils, surface and groundwater, sediment, and biota (plant and animal species). In some instances, air monitoring may be conducted to determine airborne concentrations of contaminants. An integral component of the RI is the development of the Human Health Baseline Risk Assessment. The risk assessment is the foundation upon which site remediation goals are determined and is developed following two fundamental assessments: a toxicity assessment and an exposure assessment to quantify human intake of contaminated media. Subsequently, by measuring the concentration of chemicals detected in site media, the chemical intake dose can then be quantified to complete the exposure assessment. Contamination of soil with arsenic (As), and its potential impact on human and environmental health, is a global issue. Although As occurs naturally in soil, enrichment of soil-As may occur as a result of a variety of anthropogenic processes including, but not limited to, pesticide/herbicide manufacture and use, mining, smelting, and wood preservation. Arsenic has been ranked the most common inorganic contaminant found in the National Priority List of Sites in the United States (ATSDR 2011). Numerous health effects are associated with As exposure (Lien et al. 1999; Mandal and Suzuki 2002; ATSDR 2011). For example, acute inorganic As poisoning consists of burning/dryness of the oral and nasal cavities, gastrointestinal distress, and muscle spasms.

More stringent guidelines, based on demonstration of potential toxicity to humans and ecological receptors, have motivated regulators and operators to address both legacy sites and existing or future operational discharges to mitigate potential impacts. The safe disposal of material considered to be hazardous is a natural part of good housekeeping for any industrial development. This is particularly so for the mining industry, which historically was not always well managed in this aspect and as a result, has a high-political profile today. Arsenic can occur in several oxidation states in natural waters although the trivalent arsenite (As(III)) or pentavalent arsenate (As(V)) are the most common (Smedley and Kinniburgh 2002). The most thermodynamically stable species over the natural range of groundwater redox conditions (150–500 mV, Bass Becking et al. 1960) and pH (4–7, Baas Becking et al. 1960) are H2AsO4−, HAsO4−, and in acid rock drainage waters (pH below 5) H2AsO4−. In more reduced waters, As(OH)3 is the most common species. Thioarsenic species may also be present but in general are not observed in natural waters. The kinetics of arsenic reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions is not rapid, so the predicted proportions of arsenic species based on thermodynamic calculations do not always correspond to analytical results (O’Neil 1990). An Eh-pH diagram showing the thermodynamically stable regions for arsenic species is shown in Figure 1. Because of arsenic toxicity, the World Health Organization placed a guideline maximum allowable concentration of arsenic in drinking water of 10 μg L−1 (WHO 1998). The USEPA reduced the drinking water standard from 50 to 10 μg L−1 in 2002 (USEPA 2001).

Powerful micron-sized sampling probes of high energy radiation have been widely used to interact with minute samples through the walls of pressure vessels, to investigate material properties in situ under HP. Since the late 1970s, HP synchrotron research has become a fast growing field. Of mineralogical interests are the abilities for studying structure, elasticity, phase stability/transition, and transport properties of minerals and melts at pressure-temperature conditions corresponding to the deep Earth. The most commonly used HP apparatus are the diamond anvil cell (DAC), the large volume press (LVP), and the shock wave devices. The DAC is capable of generating pressures beyond 4 megabar (1 megabar = 100 GPa) but is limited to small samples, typically less than 10 microns in linear dimensions at the highest pressures. The pressure-temperature ( P - T ) range accessible in the DAC exceeds conditions corresponding the center of the Earth. The LVP is capable of modest pressures (currently less than 100 GPa), but the large sample volume permits a wider variety of bulk physical properties to be measured. The P - T range accessible in the LVP corresponds to those in the Earth’s lower mantle. In shock wave experiments, the sample is subjected to high pressures and temperatures by dynamic processes. Multi-megabar to tera-pascal (TPa) pressures may be generated but for short durations from nano- to femto-seconds (10−9–10−15 s).

Arsenic minerals show the greatest diversity in the Tsumeb deposit: 63 arsenates, 6 arsenites, and 7 arseno-sulfate minerals (see Appendix 1).

These ores were subjected to extensive oxidation not just from surficial surface weathering but also along deep-seated permeable faults that developed complex secondary mineral assemblages at depth.

As such, water chemistry within the mine has a varied composition reflecting the different areas of the mine, water source, and geochemical reactions with host rock and the ore. In addition to water, which has been locally enriched from sulfide oxidation, saline and dilute water can be observed in the mine. With such a complex mineralogy and paragenesis, it is possible to describe the geochemical conditions that influenced the mineral evolution of the deposit and predict interactions with groundwater.

The Empire Mine State Historic Park (Empire Mine SHP or EMSHP), established in 1975, provides the public with an opportunity to see many well-preserved features of the historic mining and mineral processing operations (CDPR 2014a). A legacy of Au mining at Empire Mine and elsewhere is contamination of mine wastes and associated soils, surface waters, and groundwaters with arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and other metals. At EMSHP, As has been the principal contaminant of concern and the focus of extensive remediation efforts over the past several years by the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and Newmont USA, Ltd. In addition, the site is the main focus of a multidisciplinary research project on As bioavailability and bioaccessibility led by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) Brownfields Program.
