This study reports the effects of an external voltage (0 V, 0.4 V and 0.9 V) on soil arsenic (As) release and sequestration when amended with organic carbon (NaAc) and inorganic carbon (NaHCO3), respectively, in a soil bioelectrochemistry system (BES). The results demonstrated that although an external voltage had no effect on the As removal capacity in an oligotrophic environment fueled with NaHCO3, 93.6% of As(III) in the supernatant was removed at 0.9 V with an NaAc amendment. Interestingly, the content of As detected on the electrodes was higher than that removed from the supernatant, implying a continuous release of soil As under external voltages and rapid adsorption onto the electrodes, especially the cathode. In addition, the species of As on the cathode were similar to those in the supernatant (the As(III)/As(V) ratio was approximately 3:1), indicating that the removal capacity was independent of preoxidation. From the viewpoint of electroactive microorganisms (EABs), the relative abundances of the arrA gene and Geobacter genus were specifically enriched at the anode, thus signifying stimulation of the reduction and release of soil As in the anode region. By comparison, Bacillus was particularly abundant at the cathode, which could contribute to the oxidation and sequestration of As in the cathode region. Additionally, specific extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) secreted by EABs could combine with As, which was followed by electrostatic attraction to the cathode under the effect of an electric field. Furthermore, the formation of secondary minerals and coprecipitation in the presence of iron (Fe) may have also contributed to As removal from solution. The insights from this study will enable us to further understand the biogeochemical cycle of soil As and to explore the feasibility of in situ As bioremediation techniques, combining the aspects of microbial and physicochemical processes in soil bioelectrochemical systems.
