Journal ArticleDOI
Capture of molybdenum in pyrite-forming sediments: role of ligand-induced reduction by polysulfides
TL;DR: In this paper, a reaction pathway for Mo capture by pyrite is proposed, based on X-ray spectroscopy, which shows that Mo forms Mo-Fe-S cuboidal clusters on pyrites and that an oxidizing agent stabilizes the reducible MoVI complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalysis by mineral surfaces. Implications for Mo geochemistry in anoxic environments
Trent P. Vorlicek,George R. Helz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rate of MoS42− hydrolysis in the presence and absence of natural kaolinite (KGa-1b) and synthetic Al2O3 and SiO2 phases was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdenum scavenging by iron monosulfide.
TL;DR: Mo scavenging by precipitated FeS is explored in a model system consisting of an FeIII-bearing kaolinite dispersed in NaHS solutions, which accelerates conversion of MoOS3(2-) to MoS4(2-), and thiomolybdates facilitate reduction of FeIII minerals in the clay compared to Mo-free solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation of molybdenum from euxinic waters and the role of organic matter
George R. Helz,Trent P. Vorlicek +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that known organic ligands are too weak or too scarce to capture more than minor amounts of Mo from seawater, especially in competition with sulfide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molybdenum Burial Mechanism in Sulfidic Sediments: Iron-Sulfide Pathway
TL;DR: In this paper, the composition and stability of colloidal FeMoS4 precipitates formed at mildly basic pH and H2S(aq) > 10-5 M were determined.
