Title: Sulfidation mechanisms of Fe(iii)-(oxyhydr)oxide nanoparticles: a spectroscopic study

Abstract

Here, we used synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and wet chemical analyses to study the sulfidation mechanism(s) and sulfur oxidation products from the reaction of ferrihydrite, goethite, and hematite nanoparticles with dissolved sulfide at different S/Fe molar ratios under anaerobic condition.
