“…Such studies include silicate (Cismasu et al, 2014), calcium, phosphate and arsenate/arsenite in the absence and in presence of silicate (van Genuchten et al, 2014;Voegelin et al, 2010;respectively), polysaccharides (Mikutta et al, 2008), proteins (Kashyap et al, 2014) and dissolved organic matter (OM) from forest floor layers (Eusterhues et al, 2008;Mikutta et al, 2014b). While these studies provide important insights into the impact of single compounds on the Fe oxide properties, it remains unclear to what extent these findings apply to Fe oxides that precipitate in natural systems.…”
