Received: 21 February 2020; Accepted: 28 May 2020; Published: 31 May 2020 Abstract: Ascorbic acid (AscH2) is one of the most important vitamins found in the human diet, with many biological functions including antioxidant, chelating, and coenzyme activities. Ascorbic acid is also widely used in medical practice especially for increasing iron absorption and as an adjuvant therapeutic in iron chelation therapy, but its mode of action and implications in iron metabolism and toxicity are not yet clear. In this study, we used UV–Vis spectrophotometry, NMR spectroscopy, and EPR spin trapping spectroscopy to investigate the antioxidant/pro-oxidant effects of ascorbic acid in reactions involving iron and the iron chelator deferiprone (L1). The experiments were carried out in a weak acidic (pH from 3 to 5) and neutral (pH 7.4) medium. Ascorbic acid exhibits predominantly pro-oxidant activity by reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+, followed by the formation of dehydroascorbic acid. As a result, ascorbic acid accelerates the redox cycle Fe3+ Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction, which leads $ to a significant increase in the yield of toxic hydroxyl radicals.

  • Corrosion Basics
    CORROSION BASICS (from Swain (1996) and Schultz (1997)) What is corrosion? • Webster’s Dictionary - corrode (v.) To eat away or be eaten away gradually, especially by chemical action. • NACE Corrosion Basics - corrosion may be defined as the deterioration of a material (usually a metal) because of a reaction with the environment. Why do metals corrode? Most metals are found in nature as ores. The manufacturing process of converting these ores into metals involves the input of energy. During the corrosion reaction the energy added in manufacturing is released, and the metal is returned to its oxide state. Metal Ore reduction (add electrons)→ Metal oxidation (strip electrons)→ Corrosion Products In the marine environment, the corrosion process generally takes place in aqueous solutions and is therefore electrochemical in nature. Corrosion consequences Economic - corrosion results in the loss of $8 - $126 billion annually in the U.S. alone. This impact is primarily the result of: 1. Downtime 2. Product Loss 3. Efficiency Loss 4. Contamination 5. Overdesign Safety / Loss of Life Corrosion can lead to catastrophic system failures which endanger human life and health. Examples include a 1967 bridge collapse in West Virginia which killed 46. The collapse was attributed to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In another example, the fuselage of an airliner in Hawaii ripped open due to the combined action of stress and atmospheric corrosion. Corrosion cell Corrosion occurs due to the formation of electrochemical cells. In order for the corrosion reaction to occur five things are necessary. If any of these factors are eliminated, galvanic corrosion will not occur. THIS IS THE KEY TO CORROSION CONTROL! The necessary factors for corrosion to proceed are: 1.

  • Effects of Chloride Ions on Corrosion of Ductile Iron and Carbon Steel in Soil
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Efects of chloride ions on corrosion of ductile iron and carbon steel in soil environments Received: 7 February 2017 Yarong Song1,2, Guangming Jiang2, Ying Chen1, Peng Zhao1 & Yimei Tian1,3 Accepted: 22 June 2017 Chloride is reported to play a signifcant role in corrosion reactions, products and kinetics of ferrous Published online: 31 July 2017 metals. To enhance the understanding of the efects of soil environments, especially the saline soils with high levels of chloride, on the corrosion of ductile iron and carbon steel, a 3-month corrosion test was carried out by exposing ferrous metals to soils of six chloride concentrations. The surface morphology, rust compositions and corrosion kinetics were comprehensively studied by visual observation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray difraction (XRD), weight loss, pit depth measurement, linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. It showed that chloride ions infuenced the characteristics and compositions of rust layers by diverting and participating in corrosion reactions. α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH and iron oxides were major corrosion products, while β-Fe8O8(OH)8Cl1.35 rather than β-FeOOH was formed when high chloride concentrations were provided. Chloride also suppressed the decreasing of corrosion rates, whereas increased the difculty in the difusion process by thickening the rust layers and transforming the rust compositions. Carbon steel is more susceptible to chloride attacks than ductile iron. The corrosion kinetics of ductile iron and carbon steel corresponded with the probabilistic and bilinear model respectively. Corrosion of ferrous metals in soil is one of the major causes of durability problems of water, sewage, oil and gas distribution systems.

  • Ferrous Chemistry in Aqueous Solution Unravelled 11 May 2016
    Ferrous chemistry in aqueous solution unravelled 11 May 2016 but not the whole story either. So it is with measurement techniques: they show a particular aspect very well, yet others not at all. Now an HZB Institute of Methods for Material Development team headed by Professor Emad Aziz has succeeded in combining two different methods in such a way that a practically complete picture of the electronic states and interactions of a molecule in an aqueous solution results. Simple model system The hexaaqua(II) cation [Fe(H2O)6]2+ served as the model. It consists of a central iron atom with six water molecules arranged symmetrically about it and is well-understood. A group of theorists headed by Oliver Kühn from the University of Rostock was Combining the results from radiative and non-radiative relaxation processes enabled a complete picture of the able to calculate the electronic states and the filled and unfilled energy levels to be obtained.

  • An Introduction to Acid Mine Drainage
    An Introduction to Acid Mine Drainage by George Mitchell and Tim Craddock AMD affects over 2000 miles of streams in West Virginia Extent of AMD in the mid-Appalachian region What is Acid Mine Drainage? Basically, AMD formation is an oxidation process Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact. Those substances may or may not include oxygen. (Incidentally, the opposite of oxidation is reduction — the addition of at least one electron when substances come into contact with each other.) The culprit Pyrite or other sulfide minerals Pyrite Oxygen Water Acid Mine Drainage The chemistry of oxidation of pyrites, the production of ferrous ions and subsequently ferric ions, is very complex, and this complexity has considerably inhibited the design of effective treatment options. Although a host of chemical processes contribute to AMD, pyrite oxidation is by far the greatest contributor. General equations for this process are: 2+ 2- + 2FeS2 + 7O2+ 2H2O → 2Fe + 4SO4 + 4H The oxidation of the sulfide to sulfate solubilizes the ferrous iron (iron(II)), which is subsequently oxidized to ferric iron (iron(III)): 2+ + 3+ 4Fe + O2 + 4H → 4Fe + 2H2O Either of these reactions can occur spontaneously or can be catalyzed by microorganisms that derive energy from the oxidation reaction. The ferric irons produced can also oxidize additional pyrite: 3+ 2+ 2- + FeS2 + 14Fe + 8H2O → 15Fe + 2SO4 + 16H The net effect of these reactions is to release H+, which lowers the pH and maintains the solubility of the ferric ion.

  • Iron Removal from Acid Mine Drainage by Wetlands'
    Iron Removal from Acid Mine Drainage by Wetlands' by A.J. Sexstone*, J.G.'Skousen, J. Calabrese, D.K. Bhumbla, J. Cliff, J.C. Sencindiver, and G.K. Bissonnette' Abstract: Neutralization of acid mine drainage (AMD) in man-made cattail (Typha) wetlands was mvestlgated over a four-year period utilizing experimental models (480 x 60 x 60 cm) constructed in a greenhouse. A naturally occurring AMD (430 mg/L Fe, 5 mg/L Mn, 2900 mg/L sulfate, pH 2.75) was collected in the field and added to the greenhouse wetlands at 60.5 L/day. Monthly water· samples were collected at the wetland influent and effluent at 35 cm depth. Sediments and sediment pore water samples from four depths (IO, 20, 30, and 40 cm) were obtained from the influent, midpoint, and effluent locations of the wetland. During the first year of AMD treatment, near neutral pH (6.5) and anoxic conditions (-300 mV) were observed in subsurface sediments of wetlands. The wetlands retained au estimated 65% of the total applied iron in the first year, primarily in the exchangeable, organically bound, and oxide form. During later years, 20 to 30% of the influent iron was retained predominantly as precipitated oxides. Iron sulfides resulting from sulfate reduction accounted for less than 5% of the iron retained, and were recovered primarily as monosulfides during the first year and as disulfides in the fourth year. Improvement in effluent pH was primarily attributed to limestone dissolution in the anaerobic subsurface sediments, which decreased with time. Constructed wetlands exhibit finite lives for effective AMD treatment and provisions should be made for their periodic rejuvenation or replacement.

Owen RÉSUMÉ Les équilibres métastables entraînant des phases moins stables que la phase hématite peuvent être considérablement plus oxydants que l'équilibre cal- culé entre l'hématite bien cristallisée et la magnetite. On tire, dans ce rapport, les relations de solubilité et de stabilité généralisées entre les phases magnetite et Fe2O3»xH2O pour décrire les équilibres métastables. Des essais sur des poudres de magnetite synthétiques dans des solutions aqueuses aérées montrent que l'hématite cristalline se forme en l'espace de quelques jours à des températures supérieures à 100°C dans l'eau pure ou dans les solutions contenant des anions (par exemple, Cl-, S0£-, HCOj) qui ne forment pas de complexes très forts avec les oxydes de fer. Toutefois, la présence de phosphate ou de silice dissout, le moyen de formation de l'hématite par la dissolution-précipitation est fortement inhibé et la maghémite est un produit métastable persistant. Far conséquent, on pense que le phosphate ou la silice retarde la tendance à l'établissement de l'équilibre entre la magnetite et l'hématite dans les eaux souterraines aérées conditionnées par la magnetite.
