Calcium carbonates such as calcite are the dominant hosts of inorganic iodine in nature and are potentially important for the retention and removal of radioactive iodine isotopes (129I and131I) in contaminated water. However, little is known about the structural environment of iodine in carbonates. In this study, iodate (IO3−) doped calcite and vaterite have been synthesized using the gel-diffusion method at three NaIO3concentrations (0.002; 0.004; 0.008 M) and a pH value of 9.0, under ambient temperature and pressure. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analyses show that iodine is preferentially incorporated into calcite over vaterite. Synchrotron iodine K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra confirm that IO3−is the dominant iodine species in synthetic calcite and vaterite. Analyses of iodine K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data, complemented by periodic first-principles calculations at the density functional theory (DFT) levels, demonstrate that the I5+ion of the IO3−group in calcite and vaterite is bonded by three and two additional O atoms (i.e., coordination numbers = 6 and 5), respectively, and is incorporatedviathe charged coupled substitution I5++ Na+↔ C4++ Ca2+, with the Na+cation at a nearest Ca2+site being the most energetically favorable configuration.
