Raman spectra and thermal transformations of ferrihydrite and schwertmannite

Abstract: Raman and infrared spectra of 2‐line and 6‐line ferrihydrite and schwertmannite were recorded. The spectra of the ferrihydrites are compatible with octahedrally coordinated Fe3+. The spectra of schwertmannite are consistent with Fe(O,OH)6 octahedra in some of which an OH− ion has been replaced by a SO42− ion which acts as a bridging bidentate ligand to two Fe3+ ions. The Raman spectra show that under heating by the He–Ne laser beam 2‐line ferrihydrite and schwertmannite transform to hematite via a maghemite in… Show more

“…The bands of the spectra described here are even more shifted but also are much broader. Similar shifted band positions were reported by [34] for ferrihydrite which was transformed into hematite due to thermal influence of the laser excitation. During our experiments, it is likely that the laser power caused a transformation from ferrihydrite into hematite.…”

“…First, 2 and 6 line ferrihydrite and feroxyhyte phases cannot be easily differentiated by Raman spectroscopy. Their spectra present a broad band between 540 and 810 cm −1 33, 36. Maghemite also presents a broad band between 600 and 800 cm −1 but two shoulders are visible in this massif, one at 668 and one other at 721 cm −1 .…”

“…This phase has a very broad H 2 O/OH Raman band centered near 3550–3580 cm −1 (spectra not shown), which is very different from the OH/H 2 O bands of jarosites and Ca‐sulfates. These features bear certain similarities to those of ferrihydrite, 5Fe 2 O 3 · 9H 2 O [ Das and Hendry , ; Hanesch , ; Mazzetti and Thistlethwaite , ], and maghematite γ‐Fe 2 O 3 [ De Faria et al ., ], but not to FeOOH minerals (e.g., goethite and lepidocrocite) [ Das and Hendry , ]. We tentatively assign group 1 of HSLC to ferrihydrite, on the basis of observable H 2 O/OH peak and the absence of 1320 and 1560 cm −1 bands of maghematite.…”
