TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the kinetic effect of specific adsorption interactions on the chemical reduction of uranyl (UVIO22+) by ferrous iron, and derived a rate law for surface-catalyzed U(VI) reduction by Fe(II), d[U(VI)] dt =−k[≡ Fe III OFe II OH 0 ][U( VI)] ads where the bimolecular rate constant k has a value of 399 ± 25 M−1 min−1 at 25°C.

Spectroscopic Evidence for Fe(II)−Fe(III) Electron Transfer at the Iron Oxide−Water Interface

TL;DR: Spectroscopic observations of Fe(II) reacted with oxide surfaces under conditions typical of natural environments suggest a novel pathway for the biogeochemical cycling of Fe and also raises important questions regarding the mechanism of contaminant reduction by Fe (II) in the presence of oxide surfaces.

Fast transformation of iron oxyhydroxides by the catalytic action of aqueous Fe(II)

TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic exchange between aqueous Fe(II) and iron oxides was investigated using isotope exchange experiments with 55Fe-labeled IR oxides.

Reduction of Uranium(VI) by Mixed Iron(II)/Iron(III) Hydroxide (Green Rust): Formation of UO2 Nanoparticles

TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that U(VI) (as soluble uranyl ion) is readily reduced by green rust to U(IV) in the form of relatively insoluble UO2 nanoparticles, suggesting that the presence of green rusts in the subsurface may have significant effects on the mobility of uranium, particularly under iron-reducing conditions.

Decoupling of As and Fe release to Bangladesh groundwater under reducing conditions. Part I: Evidence from sediment profiles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the notion that extensive As mobilization in anoxic groundwater of Bangladesh is intimately linked to the dissolution of Fe oxyhydroxides on the basis of analyses performed on a suite of freshly collected samples of aquifer material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geomicrobiological cycling of iron

TL;DR: The active metabolic processes outlined above have to be distinguished from indirect biologically induced iron mineral formation in which prokaryotic cell surfaces simply act as passive templates (“passive iron biomineralization”) (e.g., Konhauser 1997).

Uranium solution-mineral equilibria at low temperatures with applications to sedimentary ore deposits

TL;DR: The Gibbs free energies, enthalpies and entropies of 42 dissolved uranium species and 30 uranium-bearing solid phases have been critically evaluated from the literature and estimated when necessary for 25°C.
