Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by magnetite in the presence of added Fe(II) was characterized through batch kinetic experiments and the effect of Fe(II) addition and pH were investigated in this study. The addition of Fe(II) into magnetite suspension improved the reductive capacity of magnetite. Eighty percent of Cr(VI) was reduced by magnetite (6.5 g l(-1)) with Fe(II) (80 mg l(-1)) within 1 h, while 60% of Cr(VI) was removed by magnetite only. However, the extent of improved reductive capacity of magnetite with Fe(II) was less than that predicted by the summation of each reduction capacity of magnetite and Fe(II). The reduction of Cr(VI) in the magnetite suspension with Fe(II) increased with the increase of molar ratio of Fe(II) to Cr(VI) (0.6, 1, 1.5, 2.3) in the range of 0-2.3 and with the decrease of pH in the range of pH 8.0-5.5. The speciation of chromium, iron, and oxygen on the surface of magnetite was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cr 2p3/2, Fe 2p3/2, and O 1s peaks were mainly observed at 576.7 and 577.8 eV, at 711.2 eV, and at 530.2 and 531.4 eV, respectively. The results indicates that Cr(III) and Fe(III) were the dominant species on the surface of magnetite after reaction and that the dominant species covered the magnetite surface and formed metal (oxy)hydroxide.
