Manganese (II) oxidation at mineral surfaces: A microscopic and spectroscopic study

Open access
Junta, Jodi L., Hochella, Michael F.·1994·Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Abstract

The products of the heterogeneous oxidation of Mn(II)aq at hematite, goethite, and albite surfaces were studied, using Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), Scanning Auger Microscopy (SAM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Oxidation experiments were conducted at room temperature in aerated solutions containing 4.0–26.7 ppm Mn(II)aq at pHs ranging from 7.8 to 8.7. Exposure times ranged from a few minutes up to six months. Through this study, it was found that steps are the most reactive sites for initiating the adsorption-oxidation reaction, independent of the mineral surface used. After the initial oxidation of Mn(II) at or near these sites, the continued adsorption-oxidation process is mineral surface dependent resulting in two types of growth paths, substrate and precipitate controlled growth. Substrate controlled growth (hematite and goethite) is characterized by the formation of a thin coating of protocrystallites that grows across the mineral surface away from the initial adsorption-oxidation site. In contrast, precipitate controlled growth (albite) is characterized by the development of precipitate ridges along a step edge. These two surface-controlled growth processes influence the distribution of the precipitates found with SEM and in hand-samples. However, independent of the mineral surface used in the experiments, the resulting precipitates consisted of Mn(III) bearing oxyhydroxides, predominately β-MnOOH.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
