Composition of Non-Microbially Reducible Fe(III) in Aquatic Sediments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The production of small quantities of Fe(II) during the initial phase of microbial Fe(III) reduction greatly increased the amount of Fe(III) that could be extracted from freshwater sediments with oxalate. This finding and other evidence suggest that the oxalate-extractable Fe(III) that is unavailable for microbial reduction in anoxic sediments is not in the form of mixed Fe(III)-Fe(II) forms, as was previously suggested, but rather is in the form of highly crystalline Fe(III) oxides.

Reductive Reactivity of Iron(III) Oxides in the East China Sea Sediments: Characterization by Selective Extraction and Kinetic Dissolution
Reactive Fe(III) oxides in gravity-core sediments collected from the East China Sea inner shelf were quantified by using three selective extractions (acidic hydroxylamine, acidic oxalate, bicarbonate-citrate buffered sodium dithionite). Also the reactivity of Fe(III) oxides in the sediments was characterized by kinetic dissolution using ascorbic acid as reductant at pH 3.0 and 7.5 in combinatio...
متن کاملEffects of microbial iron oxide reduction on pH and alkalinity in anaerobic bicarbonate-buffered media: implications for metal mobility
The iron cycle in aquatic environments involves the reduction of ferric iron (Fe(III)) followed by the oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe(II)). Under natural conditions these reactions are microbially catalyzed. The reduction of Fe(III) is thought to be one of the most important microbially mediated processes in aquatic systems. Fe(II) tends to be soluble and mobile in water, while Fe(III) tends to ...
متن کاملDepth-dependent geochemical and microbiological gradients in Fe(III) deposits resulting from coal mine-derived acid mine drainage
We evaluated the depth-dependent geochemistry and microbiology of sediments that have developed via the microbially-mediated oxidation of Fe(II) dissolved in acid mine drainage (AMD), giving rise to a 8-10 cm deep "iron mound" that is composed primarily of Fe(III) (hydr)oxide phases. Chemical analyses of iron mound sediments indicated a zone of maximal Fe(III) reducing bacterial activity at a d...
متن کاملDiversion of electron flow from methanogenesis to crystalline Fe(III) oxide reduction in carbon-limited cultures of wetland sediment microorganisms.
Electron flow in acetate-limited cultures of wetland sediment microorganisms was diverted from methane production to Fe(III) reduction in the presence of crystalline Fe(III) oxides at surface area loadings equivalent to that of amorphous Fe(III) oxide. The results indicate that inferences regarding the ability of microbial Fe(III) oxide reduction to compete with other terminal electron-acceptin...

This study was conducted to determine some heavy metals (Fe, Mg, Cr, Ni) of surface sediment in the southern Caspian Sea during two seasons (Summer and Winter) in 2014-2015. 36 surface sediments samples (with triplicate) were collected at two stations (Tonekabon and Bandar Amirabad). All samples were analyzed using sequential extraction to indicate natural and anthropogenic sources. The results...
