Box 652, Cape Town, South Africa Received: 5 December 2011 Accepted: 24 July 2012 Abstract Iron oxides are a group of minerals composed of Fe together with O and/or OH. They have high points of zero charge, making them positively charged over most soil pH ranges. Iron oxides also have relatively high surface areas and a high density of surface functional groups for ligand exchange reactions. In recent time, many studies have been undertaken on the use of iron oxides to remove harmful oxyanions such as chromate, arsenate, phosphate, and vanadate, etc., from aqueous solutions and contaminated waters via surface adsorp- tion on the iron oxide surface structure. This review article provides an overview of synthesis methods, char- acterization, and sorption behaviours of different iron oxides with various oxyanions. The influence of ther- modynamic and kinetic parameters on the adsorption process is appraised. Keywords: oxyanions, iron oxides, adsorption, isotherm, points of zero charge Introduction Iron oxides have been used as catalysts in the chemical industry [9, 10], and a potential photoanode for possible Iron oxides are a group of minerals composed of iron electrochemical cells [11, 12].

  • A Density Functional Theory and Cluster Expansion Study
    Rethinking the Magnetic Properties of Lepidocrocite: A Density Functional Theory and Cluster Expansion Study Daniel J. Pope and Aurora E. Clark Department of Chemistry, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164, USA Micah P. Prange and Kevin M. Rosso Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington 99532, USA (Dated: February 23, 2020) The iron oxyhydroxide lepidocrocite (g-FeOOH) is an abundant mineral critical to a number of chemical and technological applications. Of particular interest is the ground state and finite tem- perature magnetic order, and the subsequent impact this has upon crystal properties. The magnetic properties, investigated in this work are governed primarily through superexchange interactions, and have been calculated using density functional theory and cluster expansion methods. Quantification of these exchange terms has facilitated the determination of the ground state magneto-crystalline structure and subsequent calculation of its lattice constants, elastic moduli, cohesive enthalpy, and electronic density of states. Further, using a collinear magnetic configuration model, the magnetic heat capacity versus temperature has been studied and the N´eeltemperature obtained. I.

Wilkin Groundwater Characterization and Remediation Division, Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response, Office of Research and Development, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 919 Kerr Research Drive, Ada, OK 74820, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 September 2020; Accepted: 14 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: An improved understanding of in situ mineralization in the presence of dissolved arsenic and both ferrous and ferric iron is necessary because it is an important geochemical process in the fate and transformation of arsenic and iron in groundwater systems. This work aimed at evaluating mineral phases that could form and the related transformation of arsenic species during coprecipitation. We conducted batch tests to precipitate ferrous (133 mM) and ferric (133 mM) ions in sulfate (533 mM) solutions spiked with As (0–100 mM As(V) or As(III)) and titrated with solid NaOH (400 mM). Goethite and lepidocrocite were formed at 0.5–5 mM As(V) or As(III). Only lepidocrocite formed at 10 mM As(III). Only goethite formed in the absence of added As(V) or As(III). Iron (II, III) hydroxysulfate green rust (sulfate green rust or SGR) was formed at 50 mM As(III) at an equilibrium pH of 6.34. X-ray analysis indicated that amorphous solid products were formed at 10–100 mM As(V) or 100 mM As(III).

  • Effects of Fe(III) Oxide Mineralogy and Phosphate on Fe(II) Secondary Mineral Formation During Microbial Iron Reduction

Abstract: The bioreduction of Fe(III) oxides by dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria may result in the formation of a suite of Fe(II)-bearing secondary minerals, including magnetite (a mixed Fe(II)/Fe(III) oxide), siderite (Fe(II) carbonate), vivianite (Fe(II) phosphate), chukanovite (ferrous hydroxy car- bonate), and green rusts (mixed Fe(II)/Fe(III) hydroxides). In an effort to better understand the factors controlling the formation of specific Fe(II)-bearing secondary minerals, we examined the effects of Fe(III) oxide mineralogy, phosphate concentration, and the availability of an electron shuttle (9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate, AQDS) on the bioreduction of a series of Fe(III) oxides (akaganeite, feroxyhyte, ferric green rust, ferrihydrite, goethite, hematite, and lepidocrocite) by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32, and the resulting formation of secondary minerals, as determined by Citation: O’Loughlin, E.J.; Boyanov, X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

  • NEW ACQUISITIONS to the FERSMAN MINERALOGICAL MUSEUM RAS: the REVIEW for 2009–2010 Dmitriy I
    New Data on Minerals. 2011. Vol. 46 139 NEW ACQUISITIONS TO THE FERSMAN MINERALOGICAL MUSEUM RAS: THE REVIEW FOR 2009–2010 Dmitriy I. Belakovskiy Fersman Mineralogical Museum, RAS, Moscow, [email protected] In 2009–2010 to the main collection of the Fersman Mineralogical museum RAS were acquired 840 specimens of minerals, meteorites, tectites, stone artpieces etc. The systematic collection was replenished with 339 mineral species including 90 new mineral species for the Museum, 42 of which are represented by the type specimens (holotypes, co-types and their fragments). 5 of them were discovered with help of the Museum researchers. Two species were discovered in the specimens from the Museum collection. Geography of acquisitions includes 62 countries and also extraterrestrial objects. More than 77% of all the acquisitions were donated by 105 private per- sons and 2 organizations. Museum collecting resulted in slightly over 12% of acquisitions; 6,5% arrived from an exchange and 3% was purchased. Less than 2% is represented by another types of acquisitions. In this paper, the new acquisitions are described by mineral species, geography, acquisition type and donors. The list of the new acquisitions is given. 2 tables, 19 photographs, 6 references. Keywords: new arrivals, Mineralogical museum, collection, minerals, meteorites, donors. In 2009–2010 period 840 items were acquired from the authors of description. Five added to the main collections of the Fersman of these mineral species were discovered in Mineralogical museum RAS. The majority of collaboration with the Museum staff. Two them (480 items) was cataloged to the system- new mineral species, pertsevite-OH and atic collection, 156 specimens – to the cбmaraite, were discovered on the specimens deposits collection, 108 – to the collection of from the Museum collection.

Turner, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Canada, [email protected] Lisheng Chi, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Canada, [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrosion product transport studies conducted more than a decade ago showed that lepidocrocite, hematite and magnetite are the major components of suspended corrosion products filtered from water collected at the outlet of the Condensate Extraction Pump (CEP), Boiler Feed Pump (BFP), and High-Pressure Heater (HPH) in the steam cycles of pressurized water reactors. The presence of lepidocrocite and hematite in these samples was taken as evidence that the low-pressure section of the feed water system is oxidizing during power operation. It follows that a reduction in the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the condenser and an increase in hydrazine concentration in the feed water would be effective steps to reduce the concentration of fully oxidized corrosion products being transported with the feed water to the steam generators. A review of the literature on the formation of iron oxides under oxidizing conditions, however, has revealed that pH is a more important parameter than dissolved oxygen concentration for determining the phase of iron oxide that forms in the secondary heat-transport system at low temperature, i.e., temperature less than about 100C.
