abstract = {The surface area and pore structure of easily dispersed
soil particles < 2 μm in size (water-dispersible colloids,
WDCs) are important for carbon sequestration and transport
in soil, two processes which are essential for the
terrestrial carbon cycling. In this work, we determine the
effects of dithionite–citrate–bicarbonate (DCB)
extractable metal oxides, and oxalate extractable metal
oxides on the specific surface area (SSA) and pore structure
of WDCs from silt loam topsoils of three TERENO test sites
with a similar clay content $(20\%)$ in Germany (arable
(Selhausen), grassland (Rollesbroich) and forest
(Wuestebach) soils). The N2 gas-adsorption (− 196 °C),
small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), dynamic light
scattering (DLS) and microelectrophoretic (ME) methods were
used and compared. Results show that 1) the SSA of the WDCs
from Selhausen, Rollesbroich, and Wuestebach decreased more
after DCB treatment $(27\%,$ $35\%,$ and $44\%)$ than after
oxalate treatment $(5\%,$ $14\%,$ and $22\%).$ DCB removed
metal oxide nanoparticles from WDCs were found to have
diameters (dp) ranging from 4 nm to 8 nm and the surface
loading ratios on the surface of aluminosilicate residues in
WDCs were estimated to be $11\%$ to $22\%$ for three soils
where the highest value was found in the acidic forest soil.
2) Pore sizes in the mesopore range (2 nm to 50 nm) were
analyzed in the WDC fractions. The results were discussed in
terms of accessible open pores for the pristine WDCs and WDC
samples from which metal oxide nanoparticles and organic
carbon (OC) had been removed. The lower average pore radius
(Rp) measured by the N2 gas-adsorption method based on the
total volume (Vt) to SSA ratio variations in WDCs without
metal oxides compared to WDC with metal oxides indicated a
contraction of the porous structure of WDCs due to the
presence of metal oxide nanoparticles. The pore size
distribution (PSD) analysis showed a sensitive contribution
of metal oxide nanoparticles in the low range of pore sizes
(< 25 nm) of WDCs. In SAXS measurements, higher surface
fractal dimensions (Ds) were observed in WDCs before the
metal oxide's removal, which supports a roughness increase
of the interfaces in the presence of nanoparticles. The
colloidal characterization of WDCs by the DLS and ME methods
shows, at a μm scale, the role of positively charged metal
oxide nanoparticles in forming WDCs with a more compact
structure by decreasing the particle size (dz) and the
negative zeta potential (ζ). 3) The comparison of Rp, k, dz
and dp results between different soils also indicates the
dependence on the clay mineralogy of WDCs so that the
heterocoagulation between kaolinite and illite (clay
minerals of different aspect ratios) increases the size of
soil mesopores (Rollesbroich). In conclusion, the results of
this study clearly show that the combination of the N2
gas-adsorption, SAXS, DLS and ME methods allows the
characterization of soil porosity in the nanometer range
where metal oxide nanoparticles contribute to a more compact
structure of WDC.},
