Abstrakt: Polyferric sulfate (PFS) coagulation has proven to be effective in addressing antimony (Sb) water pollution accidents; however, the impact of waterside plant decomposition on its effectiveness has not been adequately elucidated. This study investigated the effects of Alternanthera philoxeroides (AP) and Digitaria sanguinalis (DS) decomposition on Sb cycling after PFS treatment. Without plant decomposition, the Fe(OH) 3 hydrolysate-associated Sb remained stable, and the sediment continued to exhibit Sb sink properties. Plant residue decomposition facilitated sedimentary Sb release, and DS decomposition had a greater impact than AP decomposition. The strong decomposition phases triggered abiotic/biotic reduction processes, leading to Fe(OH) 3 dissolution and subsequent Sb(V) release. Concurrently, sulfate reduction and dissolved organic matter (DOM) release regulated Sb mobility. In addition, Sb(V) reduction occurred, and Sb(III) was elevated in the overlying water. The Sb(III) levels gradually decreased during the later aerobic stages, however, did not completely disappear within a short timeframe. Furthermore, the role of the sediment as an Sb sink was significantly hindered, maintaining relatively high levels of dissolved Sb. Sedimentary Sb speciation analysis revealed that plant decomposition induced a shift in Fe-oxyhydroxide-bound Sb to more bioavailable and stable fractions. Our results indicate that plant residue decomposition easily deteriorates PFS efficiency and increases the risk of secondary Sb pollution in water-sediment systems.
