Abstract

During biogeochemical iron cycling at redox interfaces, dissolved Fe(II) induces the recrystallization of Fe(III) oxides. Oxalate and other organic acids promote dissolution of these minerals and may also induce recrystallization. These processes may redistribute trace metals among the mineral bulk, mineral surface, and aqueous solution. However, the impact of interactions among organic acids, dissolved Fe(II), and iron oxide minerals on trace metal fate in such systems is unclear. As such, the present study explores the effect of oxalate on Ni release from and incorporation into hematite and goethite in the absence and presence of Fe(II). When Ni is initially structurally incorporated into the iron oxides, both oxalate and dissolved Fe(II) promote the release of Ni to aqueous solution. When both species are present, their effects on Ni release are synergistic at pH 7 but inhibitory at pH 4, indicating that cooperative and competitive interactions vary with pH. In contrast, oxalate suppresses Ni incorporation into goethite and hematite during Fe(II)-induced recrystallization, decreasing the proportion of Ni substituting in a mineral structure by up to 36%. These observations suggest that at redox interfaces oxalate largely enhances trace metal mobility. In such settings, oxalate, and likely other organic acids, may thus enhance micronutrientmore »« less

Competitive and Cooperative Effects during Nickel Adsorption to Iron Oxides in the Presence of Oxalate

Journal Article Flynn, Elaine D. ; Catalano, Jeffrey G. - Environmental Science and Technology

Iron oxides are ubiquitous in soils and sediments and play a critical role in the geochemical distribution of trace elements and heavy metals via adsorption and coprecipitation. The presence of organic acids may potentially alter how metals associate with iron oxide minerals through a series of cooperative or competitive processes: solution complexation, ternary surface complexation, and surface site competition. The macroscopic and molecular-scale effects of these processes were investigated for Ni adsorption to hematite and goethite at pH 7 in the presence of oxalate. The addition of this organic acid suppresses Ni uptake on both minerals. Aqueous speciation suggests thatmore »« less

Controls on Fe(II)-Activated Trace Element Release from Goethite and Hematite

Journal Article Frierdich, Andrew J ; Catalano, Jeffrey G - Environ. Sci. Technol.

Electron transfer and atom exchange (ETAE) between aqueous Fe(II) and Fe(III) oxides induces surface growth and dissolution that affects trace element fate and transport. We have recently demonstrated Ni(II) cycling through goethite and hematite (adsorbed Ni incorporates into the mineral structure and preincorporated Ni releases to solution) during Fe(II)-Fe(III) ETAE. However, the chemical parameters affecting net trace element release remain unknown. Here, we examine the chemical controls on Ni(II) and Zn(II) release from Ni- and Zn-substituted goethite and hematite during reaction with Fe(II). Release follows a rate law consistent with surface reaction limited mineral dissolution and suggests that release occursmore »« less

Trace element cycling through iron oxide minerals during redox-driven dynamic recrystallization

Journal Article Frierdich, Andrew J ; Luo, Yun ; Catalano, Jeffrey G - Geology

Microbially driven iron redox cycling in soil and sedimentary systems, including during diagenesis and fluid migration, may activate secondary abiotic reactions between aqueous Fe(II) and solid Fe(III) oxides. These reactions catalyze dynamic recrystallization of iron oxide minerals through localized and simultaneous oxidative adsorption of Fe(II) and reductive dissolution of Fe(III). Redox-active trace elements undergo speciation changes during this process, but the impact redox-driven recrystallization has on redox-inactive trace elements associated with iron oxides is uncertain. Here we demonstrate that Ni is cycled through the minerals goethite and hematite during redox-driven recrystallization. X-ray absorption spectroscopy demonstrates that during this process adsorbedmore »« less

Effect of Aqueous Fe(II) on Arsenate Sorption on Goethite and Hematite

Journal Article Catalano, Jeffrey G ; Luo, Yun ; Otemuyiwa, Bamidele - Environmental Science and Technology

Biogeochemical iron cycling often generates systems where aqueous Fe(II) and solid Fe(III) oxides coexist. Reactions between these species result in iron oxide surface and phase transformations, iron isotope fractionation, and redox transformations of many contaminant species. Fe(II)-induced recrystallization of goethite and hematite has recently been shown to cause the repartitioning of Ni(II) at the mineral-water interface, with adsorbed Ni incorporating into the iron oxide structure and preincorporated Ni released back into aqueous solution. However, the effect of Fe(II) on the fate and speciation of redox inactive species incompatible with iron oxide structures is unclear. Arsenate sorption to hematite and goethitemore »« less

Structural response of phyllomanganates to wet aging and aqueous Mn(II)

Journal Article Hinkle, Margaret A. G. ; Flynn, Elaine D. ; Catalano, Jeffrey G. - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Naturally occurring Mn(IV/III) oxides are often formed through microbial Mn(II) oxidation, resulting in reactive phyllomanganates with varying Mn(IV), Mn(III), and vacancy contents. Residual aqueous Mn(II) may adsorb in the interlayer of phyllomanganates above vacancies in their octahedral sheets. The potential for interlayer Mn(II)-layer Mn(IV) comproportionation reactions and subsequent formation of structural Mn(III) suggests that aqueous Mn(II) may cause phyllomanganate structural changes that alters mineral reactivity or trace metal scavenging. Here we examine the effects of aging phyllomanganates with varying initial vacancy and Mn(III) content in the presence and absence of dissolved Mn(II) at pH 4 and 7.
