New publication reveals how aluminium substitution affects jarosite transformation to iron oxyhydroxides in the presence of aqueous Fe(II)
The new publication in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta demonstrates how aluminium can slow the transformation of jarosite, and change the products of its transformation. Jarosite is commonly associated with acid sulfate soils, and the study sheds new light on the possible effect of Al in stabilising jarosite in flooded acid sulfate soils.
