Influence of Organic Anions on the Crystallization of Ferrihydrite

Abstract: Abstract--Hydroxy-carboxylic acids inhibit the crystallization of ferrihydrite in the pH range 9-11 in the order citric > meso tartaric > L-tartaric > lactic and favor hematite formation relative to goethite in the order L-tartaric > citric > meso tartaric > lactic.The crystal shape of hematite can change from hexagonal plates to acicular in the presence of these acids. The influence of the acids on the crystallization rises with increasing concentration and with falling pH.The effectiveness in suppressing cry… Show more

“…Moreover, the latter effect also depends on the pH. In the moderately acidic pH, phosphate favors the formation of hematite over goethite (Figure 3), probably by the mechanism discussed by Cornell and Schwertmann (1996), i,e., a phosphate ion adsorbed on ferrihydrite or on a small hematite nucleus acts as a template, in a way similar to oxalate and carboxylic and hydroxy-carboxylic acids that form binuclear surface complexes (Fischer and Schwertmann, 1975;Cornell and Schwertmann, 1979). Thus, the spindle-shaped and granular ellipsoidal hematite crystals produced in our experiments are similar to those synthesized, for example, in oxalate media (Fischer and Schwertmann, 1975).…”

“…Studies of the effect of foreign ions have contributed to an understanding of the mechanisms of the transformation of ferdhydrite to goethite and hematite (Fisher and Schwertmann, 1975;Cornell and Schwertmann, 1979;Cornell, 1985). The only cationic species that has been considered in detail in affecting the formation of Fe oxides is A1 although recently, CorneU andGiovanoli (1987, 1988) studied the influence of Mn and Cu in the transformation of ferdhydrite.…”
