Influence de la Température et de la Présence des Ions Etrangers sur la Cinétique et le Mécanisme de Formation de la Goethite en Milieu Aqueux

Effect of Temperature and Presence of Foreign Ions on the Kinetics and Mechanism of the Goethite Formation in Liquid Phase We studied the influence of temperature and addition of some foreign ions on the kinetics of transformation of the goethite in sulfate medium by slow air bubbling. The temperature up to 70°C does not influence the kinetics of oxidation; this proves that the transfer of oxygen taken place through the liquid phase. Manganese and colbalt cations impede the formation and the growth of αFeOOH crystallites. Citrate and phosphate anions both hinder this transformation.
