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.

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.

Adsorption of uranyl onto ferric oxyhydroxides: Application of the surface complexation site-binding model

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface complexation-site binding model of Davis et al. was used to predict uranyl adsorption from aqueous electrolyte solution onto well-characterized goethite, amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide and hematite sols at 25°C.

The oxidation kinetics of Fe(II) in seawater

TL;DR: In this article, the rate constant of Fe(II) in water and seawater was found to be a second degree function of pH over the pH range of 75 to 85 at 5°C and 60 to 80 at 25°C.
