摘要

沉积物中黄铁矿和有机质(OM)的硫同位素值(δ34S)被广泛用于重建硫氧循环和OM保存途径。目前,硫在黄铁矿和OM之间的分配机制及其对岩石δ34S记录的影响仍存在很大的不确定性。本文对海相和湖相岩石样品中的铁、碳、硫和δ34S值进行了实验分析。实验数据与已发表的中元古代(1.6 Ga)至古近纪(23 Ma)岩石样品数据进行了比较。建立了模拟不同环境条件下黄铁矿和OM δ34S演化的动力学模型。分析表明,黄铁矿δ34S值与有机硫δ34S值差异呈线性关系(R2范围为0.43 ~ 0.96),其中黄铁矿δ34S值范围较大(110‰),有机硫δ34S值较大(93‰)。这些范围和线性趋势不能用海水硫酸盐δ34S值的变化或与微生物硫酸盐还原有关的同位素分馏来解释。相反,局部条件改变了活性铁与硫酸盐的比值,从而控制了有机硫和黄铁矿的δ34S值及其同位素间隙。这是因为在成岩作用的早期阶段,活性铁黄铁矿作用迅速捕获微生物硫酸盐还原剂产生的同位素轻H2S,留下与有机质反应的重H2S。在某些环境中,有机硫与黄铁矿之间的同位素间隙与岩石中OM含量相关,反映了活性铁在硫化保存OM中的关键作用。因此,铁在沉积环境中硫在OM和黄铁矿之间分配的作用对于重建地质序列中硫循环及其与碳循环的相互作用至关重要。

Reactive iron controls sulfur partitioning between pyrite and organic matter in sedimentary rocks
Sulfur isotopic values (δ34S) of pyrite and organic matter (OM) in sediments are widely used for the reconstruction of the sulfur and oxygen cycles as well as pathways of OM preservation. Currently, significant uncertainties persist regarding the mechanism by which sulfur is partitioned between pyrite and OM and its effect on the δ34S record of rocks. Here, we present experimental analysis of iron, carbon, sulfur and δ34S values in marine and lacustrine rock samples. The experimental data was compared with published data of rock samples from the Mesoproterozoic era (1.6 Ga) to the Paleogene period (23 Ma). We also developed a kinetic model to simulate the evolution of δ34S of pyrite and OM under different environmental conditions. Our analysis reveals linear relationships between δ34S value of pyrite and its isotopic difference from δ34S value of organic sulfur (R2 ranging from 0.43 to 0.96) for large δ34S ranges of pyrite (110 ‰) and organic sulfur (93 ‰). These ranges and linear trends cannot be explained by variations in the δ34S value of seawater sulfate or by the isotopic fractionation associated with microbial sulfate reduction. Rather, local conditions that change the ratio between reactive iron and sulfate are shown to control the δ34S values of organic sulfur and pyrite and their isotopic gap. This is because reactive iron pyritization rapidly captures isotopically light H2S generated by microbial sulfate reducers in the early stages of diagenesis, leaving behind heavy H2S that reacts with OM. In some environments, the isotopic gap between organic sulfur and pyrite correlates with the OM content in the rock, reflecting the critical role of reactive iron in OM preservation via sulfurization. Hence, the role of iron on the partitioning of sulfur between OM and pyrite in sedimentary environments is essential for reconstructing the sulfur cycle and its interaction with the carbon cycle in geological sequences.
