Iron-arsenate (Fe^III-As^V) coprecipitate generated in acid mine drainage and hydrometallurgical practices is one of the potential sources of As contamination in the environment. However, the As behavior as well as the transformation process of the Fe^III-As^V coprecipitate is still not fully understood under acidic conditions. This work systematically studied the effect of reaction media (sulfate vs. nitrate), Fe/As molar ratios, and acidic pH values on the transformation rates, routes, and products of the Fe^III-As^V coprecipitates at different temperatures during up to 4.5 years of aging. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) results showed that the Fe^III-As^V coprecipitates with Fe/As = 2 transformed to scorodite at pH 4 in both sulfate and nitrate media with poorly crystalline ferric arsenate as precursor. In comparison, for the Fe/As = 4 samples, parascorodite and hematite were formed in sulfate and nitrate media, respectively. We note arsenic was released into the liquid phase during the aging process for the samples with Fe/As = 2 and 4. The aqueous As concentrations ([As]_aq) in sulfate media were larger than those in nitrate media for both the Fe/As = 2 and 4 samples. In addition, the transformation products were goethite and Na-jarosite at Fe/As = 8 and 16, pH 2.5 with the decrease of [As]_aq. The results also indicated that 6-line ferrihydrite was a common intermediate for many Fe-As transformation processes.
