“…Besides, the differences in the functional groups and molecular weight distribution of the DOM components may lead to the fractionation of DOM (Durce et al., 2018; Guo & Chorover, 2003; Pan et al., 2020). The fractionation of DOM can affect the transport of DOM and DOM‐associated pollutants (Li et al., 2022). For instance, the transport of heavy metals may be enhanced by forming complexes with carboxyl functional groups of hydrophilic DOM components (Aiken et al., 2011), and the mobility of hydrophobic organic contaminants was reduced in the presence of hydrophobic DOM moieties (Koegel‐Knabner & Totsche, 1998).…”

The fractionation and transport of compost‐derived dissolved organic matter (DOMC) could affect the transport and fate of nutrients and DOM‐associated pollutants in soil environment. In this study, the humic acid fraction (HAC) and fulvic acid fraction (FAC) of DOMC were selected to investigate the fractionation and transport of DOMC in repacked soil columns of a red soil and a black soil under different KCl concentrations. The effluent DOMC fractions were monitored by UV‐Visible light and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that the molecular weight (MW) of the effluent DOM approached that of the influent DOMC fractions with the injection of DOMC fractions. Three‐dimensional fluorescence excitation emission matrices (3D‐EEMs) coupled with parallel factor analysis resolved three fluorescent components, i.e., low MW UV humic‐like substances (C1), high MW UV humic‐like substances (C2), and protein‐like substances (C3). The mobility of HAC and FAC decreased with increasing KCl concentrations (1 mM‐50 mM), implying that electrostatic interaction was an important mechanism for the retention of DOMC in soil columns. The fact that the mobility of DOMC fractions in the black soil was greater than that in the red soil could be attributed to the high free Fe oxide content in the red soil. The retained DOMC fractions did not entirely desorb by the background electrolyte solution, suggesting that a part of the DOMC fractions retained in soil columns was strongly bound. These results are helpful in understanding the fractionation and transport of DOMC in soil environments.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
