Reduction of uranium(VI) by mixed iron(II)/iron(III) hydroxide (green rust): formation of UO2 nanoparticles.
Green rusts, which are mixed ferrous/ferric hydroxides, are found in many suboxic environments and are believed to play a central role in the biogeochemistry of Fe. Analysis by U LIII-edge X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy of aqueous green rust suspensions spiked with uranyl (U(VI)) showed that U(VI) was readily reduced to U(IV) by green rust The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (...
متن کاملCharacterization of intercalated iron(III) nanoparticles and oxidative adsorption of arsenite on them monitored by x-ray absorption fine structure combined with fluorescence spectrometry.
This paper first deals with the screening and optimization of Fe(III)-based adsorbents for arsenic adsorption from 0.2 to 16 ppm test solutions of arsenite/arsenate. The best adsorption capacity has been reported on alpha-FeO(OH) on an adsorbent weight basis. Better results were found on intercalated Fe-montmorillonites for arsenite adsorption below the equilibrium dissolved As concentration of...
متن کاملInstantaneous Green Synthesis of Zerovalent Iron Nanoparticles by Thuja orientalis Extract and Investigation of Their Antibacterial Properties
The applications of zerovalent iron nanoparticles in environmental remediation have led to the development of green methods in their synthesis. This study for the first time reports on the green synthesis of zerovalent iron nanoparticles using Thuja orientalis extract as the reducing and capping agent at room temperature. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized with different tec...
متن کاملIntraparticle reduction of arsenite (As(III)) by nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) investigated with In Situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
While a high efficiency of contaminant removal by nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has often been reported for several contaminants of great concern, including aqueous arsenic species, the transformations and translocation of contaminants at and within the nanoparticles are not clearly understood. By analysis using in situ time-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of the arsenic core l...
متن کاملFormation and Geological Sequestration of Uranium Nanoparticles in Deep Granitic Aquifer
The stimulation of bacterial activities that convert hexavalent uranium, U(VI), to tetravalent uranium, U(IV), appears to be feasible for cost-effective remediation of contaminated aquifers. However, U(VI) reduction typically results in the precipitation of U(IV) particles less than 5 nanometers in diameter, except for environmental conditions enriched with iron. Because these tiny particles ar...
