Abstract
This study aims to understand how surfactants affect the mobility of tetracycline (TC), an antibiotic, through different aquifer media. Two anionic and cationic surfactants, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), were used to study their influence on TC mobility through clean sand and humic acid (HA)-coated sand. HA coating inhibits TC mobility due to its strong interaction with TC. Both surfactants promoted TC mobility at pH 7.0 due to competitive deposition, steric effect, and increased hydrophilicity of TC. CTAB had a more substantial effect than SDBS, related to the surfactants' molecular properties. Each surfactant's promotion effects were greater in HA-coated sand than in quartz sand due to differences in surfactant retention. CTAB inhibited TC transport at pH 9.0 due to its significant hydrophobicity effect. Furthermore, in the presence of Ca2+, SDBS enhanced TC transport by forming deposited SDBS-Ca2+-TC complexes. On the other hand, CTAB increased TC mobility due to its inhibition of cation bridging between TC and porous media. The findings highlight surfactants' crucial role in influencing the environmental behaviors of tetracycline antibiotics in varied aquifers.

Abstract
Phosphate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) mediate the crystalline transformation of ferrihydrite catalyzed by Fe(II) in subsurface environments such as soils and groundwater. However, the cooperative mechanisms underlying the mediation of phosphate and DOM in crystalline transformation of ferrihydrite and the feedback effects on their own distribution and speciation remain unresolved. In this study, solid characterization indicates that phosphate and DOM can collectively inhibit the crystalline transformation of ferrihydrite to lepidocrocite and thus goethite, via synergetic effects of inhibiting recrystallization and electron transfer. Phosphate can be retained on the surface or transformed to a nonextractable form within Fe oxyhydroxides; DOM is either released into the solution or preserved in an extractable form, while it is not incorporated or retained in the interior. Element distribution and DOM composition analysis on Fe oxyhydroxides reveals even distribution of phosphate on the newly formed Fe oxyhydroxides, while the distribution of DOM depends on its specific species. Electrochemical and dynamic force spectroscopic results provide molecular-scale thermodynamic evidence explaining the inhibition of electron transfer between Fe(II) and ferrihydrite by phosphate and DOM, thus influecing the crystalline transformation of ferrihydrite and the distribution of phosphate and DOM. This study provides new insights into the coupled biogeological cycle of Fe with phosphate and DOM in aquatic and terrestrial environments.
