title: Redox reaction of iodine in paddy soil investigated by field observation and the I K-Edge XANES fingerprinting method.
abstract: In order to elucidate the cause for the leaching of iodine in a flooded paddy field, we investigated the transformation of an iodine species affected by the water management of the paddy field. The increased concentration of iodide (I(-)) in soil solution of a flooded paddy field suggested that I(-) was leached from the soil under anaerobic conditions. The post-edge feature of X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) for iodate (IO(3)(-)) spiked to soil totally disappeared after anaerobic incubation of the soils, and I(-) was dissolved in the solution. On the other hand, I(-) in contact with the soil was not likely to be oxidized to IO(3)(-) under aerobic incubation. Iodine was leached out in soil solution as I(-) under anaerobic conditions, whereas part of the iodine species was retained by soil as I(2) or organoiodine both under anaerobic and aerobic conditions.
