Comparison Between Bacterial and Chemical Dissolution of al-Substituted Goethite. Incidence on Mobilization of Iron

  • Chapter
Effect of Mineral-Organic-Microorganism Interactions on Soil and Freshwater Environments

Abstract

Iron oxides such as goethite, hematite and lepidocrocite are common products that form under various weathering conditions on the earth. Iron oxides may also form as a result of steel corrosion. While pure iron oxides may be obtained synthetically, natural iron oxides generally contain noniron metals (NIM), particularly Al. The solubility of iron oxides in pure water is generally extremely low (Schwertmann, 1991). However, Fe oxides dissolution is facilitated by strong acids, reducing and complexing agents (Cornell and Schwertmann, 1996).
