Fig. 2 Derivative of normalized Fe K-edge XANES spectra of Fe 2+ sorption samples in which Syn-1 (∼5 g L −1) was reacted with low (0.25 mM) or high (2.5 mM) Fe 2+ concentrations at pH ∼7 or ∼8. Sorption samples were equilibrated for 1 day under anoxic conditions (green lines) and subsequently oxidized for 1 day (orange lines). Superscripts (a–d) indicate the corresponding pairs of anoxic and oxidized samples. Displayed pH values correspond to the pH measured at the end of the equilibration period for each sample. Selected reference spectra of solid phases containing Fe( II) and/or Fe( III) are shown for comparison (abbreviations: Nk = nikischerite, Cl-GR = chloride green rust, Fh = ferrihydrite).

Clay minerals can be classified as 1:1 or 2:1. A 1:1 clay would consist of one tetrahedral sheet and one octahedral sheet, and examples would be kaolinite and serpentinite. A 2:1 clay consists of an octahedral sheet sandwiched between two tetrahedral sheets, and examples are talc, vermiculite, and montmorillonite. The layers in 1:1 clays are uncharged and are bonded by hydrogen bonds between layers, but 2:1 layers have a net negative charge and may be bonded together either by individual cations (such as potassium in illite or sodium or calcium in smectites) or by positively charged octahedral sheets (as in chlorites).

Abstract

Colloid Interface Sci., 1997, 186, 118–128 CrossRef CAS PubMed . Given the requirement of water, clay minerals are relatively rare in the Solar System, though they occur extensively on Earth where water has interacted with other minerals and organic matter. Clay minerals have been detected at several locations on Mars, [15] including Echus Chasma, Mawrth Vallis, the Memnonia quadrangle and the Elysium quadrangle. Spectrography has confirmed their presence on celestial bodies including the dwarf planet Ceres, [16] asteroid 101955 Bennu, [17] and comet Tempel 1, [18] as well as Jupiter's moon Europa. [19] Structure [ edit ] View of tetrahedral sheet structure of a clay mineral. Apical oxygen ions are tinted pink. For all oxic sorption samples, the position of the Fe K-edge was at 7127 eV ( Fig. 2), which corresponds to the oxidation state Fe( III) and is in line with Mössbauer data ( Fig. 2). Linear combination fitting (LCF) results for Fe K-edge EXAFS spectra are presented in Fig. 4 (also Tables S11 and S12 †). Oxidized sorption samples were well described ( R-factor < 2%) with 3 reference compounds: ferrihydrite (45–60%), Fe( III)-containing phyllosilicates (24–36%), and lepidocrocite (13–19%). Essentially, all oxic sorption samples transformed into the same secondary phases regardless of their equilibration conditions (pH, Fe concentration) and time (1 or 30 days) under anoxic conditions (Tables S11 and 12 †). Parts of the Fe( III)-containing phyllosilicates that have already formed under anoxic conditions were not affected by oxidation and remained as secondary phase after aeration. It was observed that the fraction of lepidocrocite formed was significantly lower for low Fe-loading samples compared to high Fe-loading samples. Because clay minerals are usually (but not necessarily) ultrafine-grained, special analytical techniques are required for their identification and study. In addition to X-ray crystallography, these include electron diffraction methods, [10] various spectroscopic methods such as Mössbauer spectroscopy, [11] infrared spectroscopy, [10] Raman spectroscopy, [12] and SEM- EDS [13] or automated mineralogy [10] processes. These methods can be augmented by polarized light microscopy, a traditional technique establishing fundamental occurrences or petrologic relationships. [14] Occurrence [ edit ]

After the equilibration of Fe 2+ with Syn-1 under anoxic conditions, substantial amounts of aqueous Fe 2+ still remained in solution (70–78% of added Fe at pH ∼7 and 7–16% at pH ∼8, see Table S2 †). Additionally, some adsorbed Fe 2+ may have been desorbed from clay surfaces as pH started to decrease. All dissolved and adsorbed Fe 2+ is expected to rapidly oxidize upon exposure to O 2 and form iron minerals such as lepidocrocite and/or ferrihydrite, depending on solution composition ( e.g., Ca, Si). 68 However, the remaining 22 to 30% (at pH ∼7) or 83 to 93% (pH ∼8) of the added Fe was sorbed to the clay, mostly by the formation of Fe( II) solid phases such as chloride green rust, FeAl-LDH, and/or Fe( III)-phyllosilicates, as was shown in the section above. The oxidation kinetics and resulting Fe species formed during aeration of such sorbed ferric Fe on clay minerals is far less understood.

For the majority of the samples, the LCF significantly improved when an Fe( III)-containing clay mineral reference (SWy-2, containing 3 wt% Fe) was included as additional reference in the fits. Released Si from Syn-1 after 1 day equilibration between pH 6 and 10 amounted on average to ∼0.016 mmol Si per g clay compared to up to 8 times lower Si concentrations for anoxic sorption samples with Fe (see Fig. S6a and S7 †). This provides additional evidence that the released Si from Syn-1 was removed from solution upon addition of Fe, either by adsorption or incorporation into newly formed Fe phases. It has been suggested by Soltermann et al. 30 that Fe 2+ can be taken up by the clay minerals, leading to the formation of Fe-bearing clay minerals.
