Schwertmannite (SCH) has strong adsorption ability to As(III). However, there are few reports on the stability of SCH load with As(III) (SCH-As(III)). In this study, the effects of tartaric acid (TA), pH and coexisting ions including K+, Ca2+, Al3+ and CO32− on the photoreductive dissolution of SCH- As(III) and the release of the adsorbed As (III) were investigated. The results showed that under UV irradiation TA could greatly enhance the release of total Fe and total As from SCH-As(III). Nevertheless, the total Fe and total As in the solution decreased when TA was consumed up. Compared to SCH, the reductive dissolution of SCH-As(III) was obviously suppressed. In the dark, TA could slowly enhance the dissolution of SCH-As(III), but its effect on the release of adsorbed As(III) was weak. Low pH was conducive to the release of iron and arsenic. Ca2+, K+, and CO32− promoted the decrease of the dissolved total Fe in the later reaction. However, Al3+ inhibited the decrease of the dissolved total Fe and total As. The analyses of FTIR and XRD demonstrated that the mineralogical phase of SCH-As(III) after reaction changed. With light, the dissolved total Fe and total As existed mainly as Fe(II) and As(V), respectively. This is because Fe(II) was generated via ligand to metal charge transfer and As(III) was oxidized to As(V) by ·OH produced during the reaction. Thus, this study provides us with a comprehensive understanding of the stability of SCH-As(III) and the release of adsorbed As(III) in natural environments.
