Influencing factors and environmental effects of interactions between goethite and organic matter: A critical review

This paper reviews progresses in the interactions between goethite and organic matter (OM) their environmental effects recent decades. The mainly include effect of on surface properties crystallization goethite, molecular changes OM caused by interaction mechanisms, which can be depicted commonly used Langmuir model, charge distribution multi-site complexation model (CD-MUSIC model), ligand (LCD natural (NOM-CD model). influencing factors are summarized with emphasis external, including pH, ionic strength, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), internal, structure iron species. goethite—OM complexes will affect migration transformation conventional heavy metals emerging antibiotics. complexes, as carrier iron, also critical parts cycles, associated climate change. review provides a basis for future mechanism studies formation, transformation, (particulate or carbon-contained minerals) different systems at level.
