Influence of Mineral Surfaces on Chromium(VI) Reduction by Iron(II)

Buerge, Ignaz J., Hug, Stephan J.·1999·Environmental Science & Technology

Abstract

Chromium(VI) is a priority pollutant of some soils and natural waters in industrial areas. Iron(II), an important natural reductant of Cr(VI), is an option in remediation of contaminated sites, transforming Cr(VI) to essentially nontoxic Cr(III). After kinetics and pathways of this redox reaction had been reported to depend strongly on pH and organic ligands, this study investigated the influence of mineral surfaces. Kinetic measurements with UV−vis in mineral and soil suspensions at pH 5 showed that all minerals tested, except Al 2 O 3, accelerated the Cr(VI) reduction by Fe(II), in the order of α-FeOOH ≈ γ-FeOOH ≫ montmorillonite > kaolinite ≈ SiO 2 ≫ Al 2 O 3 . Similar kinetics were observed with soil from the E and B Fe horizons of a Podzol. The reactions appear to be driven by the high reactivity of adsorbed Fe(II). Whereas adsorbed Cr(VI) was reducible by Fe(II), the sparingly soluble BaCrO 4 was largely protected from reduction. This is of environmental relevance since in many polluted soils, Cr(VI) is partly present as Ba, Ca, Fe, or Pb salts. Kinetic data and reaction pathways are important in the optimization of Fe(II)/mineral mixtures as reductants of Cr(VI) in technical systems, in the evaluation of in-situ remediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated waters and soils by Fe(II), and in qualitative predictions and modeling of Cr(VI) in natural systems.

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.
