Abstract:
The formation and transformation of hydroxysulphate (GRSO(4)) and hydroxycarbonate (GRCO(3)) Green Rust, were studied ill situ using synchrotron-based time-resolved small and wide angle X-ray scattering. The time-resolved data revealed, for the first time, the pH dependent transition from poorly-ordered schwertmannite (pH <6.5) into GRSO(4) (pH similar to 6.8) followed by GRCO(3) (at PH similar to 9.6). These data also showed that the addition of Zn to the starting sulphate Fe2+/Fe3+ solution resulted in a change in size of the GR unit-cell due to substitution of Zn into the GR structure.
