Both field and laboratory data indicate that there is no significant isotope fractionation of sulfate during sorption in upland forest Podzols. The dominant sulfate sorption process in these soils is adsorption onto mineral surfaces. In the Plastic Lake watershed, Dorset, Ontario, Canada, fractions of sulfate from Podzol B-horizons have the following mean isotope (%.) compositions: water soluble sulfate, δ34S = +6.4; δ18O = -5.3; bicarbonate-exchanged sulfate by two methods,δ34S = + 4.5 and + 3.4; δ18O =-6.2 and -5.6; dissolved sulfate in B-horizon soilwater seepage,δ34S = + 4.8; δ18O = -5.4. These data indicate that soil sorption enriches dissolved sulfate in 34S by approximately 1 ± 1%. and in 18O by 0 +- 1 %. relative to sorbed sulfate. Similar results were obtained by laboratory sorption of sulfate by prepared goethite, which is a mineral representative of soil sorption sites in acidic Podzols like the one at Plastic Lake. The mean fractionation between sorbed and dissolved sulfate was found to be - 0.3%. for34S and 0.1 %. for 18O. Earlier literature has confused the term adsorption; in many cases the more general term sorption, or retention, should be used. Pronounced fractionation of S and O isotopes in sulfate by lake and ocean sediments has been attributed to "adsorption" or "retention" but is more likely the result of sulfate reduction. Apparently, at Earth-surface conditions the only substantial isotope shifts in sulfate occur during microbial processes.
