Journal ArticleDOI

Surface complexation of ferrous iron and carbonate on ferrihydrite and the mobilization of arsenic.

TL;DR: Model calculations confirm that sorption of particularly carbonate at common soil and groundwater concentrations reduces the sorption capacity of arsenic on ferrihydrite significantly, a cause for the high concentrations of arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic(III) oxidation by birnessite and precipitation of manganese(II) arsenate.

TL;DR: The oxidation reaction transforms a toxic species, As(III), to a less toxic aqueous species, which further precipitates with Mn2+ as a mixed As-Mn solid characterized by a low solubility product.
Journal ArticleDOI

A robust model for pore-water chemistry of clayrock

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for calculating the pore-water compositions of clayrocks from laboratory-measured properties of core samples, including their leachable Cl and SO4 concentrations and analysed exchangeable cations, and from mineral and cation exchange equilibria based on the formation mineralogy is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron transfer at the mineral/water interface: Selenium reduction by ferrous iron sorbed on clay

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the long-term kinetics of selenite ( Se(IV)O 3 - ) sorption to montmorillonite in the presence of Fe2+ under anoxic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanomorphology of montmorillonite particles: Estimation of the clay edge sorption site density by low-pressure gas adsorption and AFM observations

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrepancy between measurements of the basal and interlayer surface area was found due to the stacking of platelets in dry conditions compared to their dispersion in aqueous suspension.
