Degradation of fluoride-free MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-53(Fe) in water: Effect of temperature and pH
2016
Abstract The degradation in liquid water of two iron-containing MOFs MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-53(Fe) synthesized in fluoride-free conditions was studied. It was found that dispersing the MOFs in deionized water (1 mg/mL) results in the decrease of pH to 2.9 for MIL-100(Fe) and to 4.5 for MIL-53(Fe). Given this finding the stability of the MOFs in liquid water was characterized under two different sets of conditions: 1) reflux in water at 100 °C under obtained pH and 2) at ambient temperature under adjusted pH 7. After reflux of MIL-100(Fe) at 100 °C its XRD pattern remains unchanged, however a strong decrease of its BET surface area and appearance of α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles point out to a parti…
Mn, Fe, Zn and As speciation in a fast-growing ferromanganese marine nodule
2004
The speciation of Mn, Fe, As and Zn in a fast-growing (0.02mm/yr), shallow-marine ferromanganese nodule has been examined by micro X-ray fluorescence, micro X-ray diffraction, and micro X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This nodule exhibits alternating Fe-rich and Mn-rich layers reflecting redox variations in water chemistry. Fe occurs as two-line ferrihydrite. The As is strictly associated with Fe and is mostly pentavalent, with an environment similar to that of As sorbed on or coprecipitated with synthetic ferrihydrite. The Mn is in the form of turbostratic birnessite with ~;10 percent trivalent manganese in the layers and probably ~;8 percent corner-sharing metal octahedra in the interlayer…
