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.

Comparison of arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) sorption onto iron oxide minerals: implications for arsenic mobility.

TL;DR: The sorption data indicate that, under most of the chemical conditions investigated in this study, reduction of As(V) in the presence of HFO or goethite would have only minor effects on or even decrease its mobility in the environment at near-neutral pH conditions.

Biogeochemical Redox Processes and their Impact on Contaminant Dynamics

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of biogeochemical redox processes are highlighted and their impact on contaminant fate and transport, including future research needs are highlighted.

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.

Experimental study and modeling of the U(VI)-Fe(OH)3 surface precipitation/coprecipitation equilibria

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple thermodynamic approach has been proposed in order to describe the post-adsorption phenomena of the coprecipitation of U(VI) with Fe(III) oxyhydroxides, by means of chemical solution and spectroscopic techniques.

Redox processes catalyzed by hydrous oxide surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that vanadyl oxygenation is accelerated by surface MO− groups; a similar effect is observed in solution due to coordination by OH−, and a catalytic dissolution of hematite by Fe(II) and oxalate is interpreted in terms of an electron transfer through the bridging oxalates ligand, FE(III)-oxalate-Fe(II).
