The oxygen isotope fractionation factor of dissolved oxygen gas has been measured during inorganic reduction by aqueous FeSO4 at 10-54 degrees C under neutral (pH 7) and acidic (pH 2) conditions, with Fe(II) concentrations ranging up to 0.67 mol L-1, in order to better understand the geochemical behavior of oxygen in ferrous iron-rich groundwater and acidic mine pit lakes. The rate of oxygen reduction increased with increasing temperature and increasing Fe(II) concentration, with the pseudo-first-order rate constant k ranging from 2.3 to 82.9 x 10(-6)S(-1) under neutral conditions and 2.1 to 37.4 x 10(-7)S(-1) under acidic conditions. The activation energy of oxygen reduction was 30.9 +/- 6.6 kJ mol(-1) and 49.7 +/- 13.0 kJ mol-1 under neutral and acidic conditions, respectively. Oxygen isotope enrichment factors (epsilon) become smaller with increasing temperature, increasing ferrous iron concentration, and increasing reaction rate under acidic conditions, with epsilon values ranging from -4.5 parts per thousand to -11.6 parts per thousand. Under neutral conditions, epsilon does not show any systematic trends vs. temperature or ferrous iron concentration, with e values ranging from -7.3 to -10.3 parts per thousand Characterization of the oxygen isotope fractionation factor associated with 02 reduction by Fe(II) will have application to elucidating the process or processes responsible for oxygen consumption in environments such as groundwater and acidic mine pit lakes, where a number of possible processes (e.g. biological respiration, reduction by reduced species) may have taken place.
