This book presents an introduction to the chemistry of the solid-water interface. Stressing
surface chemical principles that can be applied in the geochemistry of natural waters, soils …

The various pathways for the oxygenation of ferrous iron and for the dissolution of Fe
(III)(hydr) oxides, especially by reducing ligands with oxygen donor atoms in thermal and …

A calibrated chemical extraction scheme was developed for partitioning reactive Fe (III)
minerals in the solid phase of marine sediments. The following chemical extractants were …

Submerged soils and the wetlands they support are of huge practical importance: in global
element cycles, as centres of biodiversity, in global food production. They are also uniquely …

The dissolution behaviour of metal oxides has applications in many scientific fields, each
with its own jargon and methodological approach. Any scientist interested in this subject …

The dissolution of pure iron oxides by organic acids has been extensively reviewed. The
mechanism of dissolution comprises three distinct steps:(1) adsorption of organic ligands on …

Water pollution caused by recalcitrant organic molecules from industrial and domestic
sectors has become a major problem that can affect human health and the balance of our …

Iron oxide is the main contaminant of clay and silicate minerals used during the production
of high quality ceramics. Its content has to be removed to generally less than 0.1% for …

Experimental studies demonstrate that structural Fe (II) in magnetite and ilmenite
heterogeneously reduce aqueous ferric, cupric, vanadate, and chromate ions at the oxide …

The effect of various organic acids viz. acetic, formic, citric, ascorbic, succinic, tartaric and
oxalic acids, on the iron removal and the resulting brightness improvement of an iron …
