Basic ferric sulfate-arsenates [FeSAsOH, Fe(SO4)x(AsO4)y(OH)z·nH2O] were prepared and characterized to study their potential fixation of arsenic in the oxidizing and acidic environment through a dissolution for 330d. The synthetic solids were well-shaped monoclinic prismatic crystals. For the dissolution of the sample FeSAsOH–1 [Fe(SO4)0.27(AsO4)0.73 (OH)0.27·0.26H2O] at 25–45°C and initial pH 2, all constituents preferred to be dissolved in the order of AsO43− > SO42− > Fe3+ in 1–3 h, in the order of SO42− > AsO43− > Fe3+ from 1–3 h to 12–24 h, and finally in the order of SO42− > Fe3+ > AsO43−. The released iron, sulfate, and arsenate existed dominantly as Fe3+/Fe(OH)2+/FeSO4+, HSO4−/SO42−/FeSO4+, and H3AsO40/H2AsO4−, respectively. The higher initial pHs (6 and 10) could obviously inhibit the release of Fe3+ from solid into solution, and the solid components were released in the order of SO42− > AsO43− > Fe3+. The crystal tops were first dissolved, and the crystal surfaces were gradually smoothed/rounded until all edges and corners disappeared. The dissociations were restricted by the Fe-O(H) breakdown in the FeO6 octahedra and obstructed by the OH− and AsO4 tetrahedra outliers; the lowest concentration of the dissolved arsenic was 0.045 mg/L. Based on the dissolution experiment at 25°C and pH 2, the solubility products (Ksp) for the basic ferric sulfate-arsenate [Fe(SO4)0.27(AsO4)0.73 (OH)0.27·0.26H2O], which are equal to the ion activity products (logˍIAP) at equilibrium, were calculated to be -23.04 ± 0.01 with the resulting Gibbs free energies of formation (ΔGfo) of −914.06 ± 0.03 kJ/mol.

Six different members of the (BaxSr1-x)HAsO4·H2O solid solution were prepared and characterized, and then dissolution of the synthetic solids was studied at 25°C and pH 2 in a series of batch experiments for 4320 h. With the increase in the Ba/(Ba+Sr) mole fraction of the solids, the aqueous pH decreased and the aqueous barium concentration increased. The aqueous strontium and arsenic concentrations had the highest values atBa/(Ba+Sr)=0.21. The solubility products for BaHAsO4·H2O and SrHAsO4·H2O were calculated to be10-5.52and10-4.62, respectively. The corresponding free energies of formation were determined to be −1543.99±0.18 kJ/mol and −1537.94±0.02 kJ/mol. The solid solution had a minimum solubility product of10-5.61atBa/(Ba+Sr)=0.82. The Guggenheim coefficients were determined to beao=1.55anda1=-4.35. The Lippmann diagram was a typical Lippmann diagram for a nonideal solid solution with a negative enthalpy of mixing. The system shows an “alyotropic” minimum at the aqueousBa/(Ba+Sr)activity fraction of 0.87 where thesolutusandsoliduscurves meet. At the end of the dissolution experiment, the dissolution followed the saturation curve for the pure endmember BaHAsO4·H2O and approached the intersection with the minimum stoichiometric saturation curve on the Lippmann diagram.

Arsenic is very harmful to most living organisms. The solubility data of As-containing compounds are significant in geoscience and environmental science. The arsenic-incorporated natroalunite precipitation has been proposed to eliminate arsenic from water, both for industrial practice and remediation of polluted areas. Unfortunately, only few works have been made on partial arsenic incorporation in natroalunite and the thermodynamic data for natroalunite and arsenic-incorporated natroalunite now are still lacking. Moreover, the dissolution mechanisms of arsenic-incorporated natroalunites have never been studied. In the present work, the dissolution of the synthetic natroalunite [Na0.93(H3O)0.61Al2.82(SO4)2(OH)6] and the synthetic arsenic-incorporated natroalunite [Na0.88(H3O)2.44Al2.35(AsO4)0.38(SO4)1.62(OH)6] at 25°C, 35°C, and 45°C was experimentally examined in HNO3 solution (pH of 2.00 and 4.00) and pure water. The characterizations confirmed that the solids showed no recognizable change after dissolution. All dissolutions underwent a pH variation, which was caused by a great depleting of H3O+/OH− ions, typically at the reaction beginning. The dissolution in H3O+ medium proved to be near-stoichiometric within the short beginning period, and the dissolved Na+, Al3+, SO42−, and AsO43− concentrations were stoichiometric according to the initial solids and then appeared to be nonstoichiometric with the Na/SO4 mole ratios higher and the Al/SO4 and AsO4/SO4 mole ratios lower than the stoichiometry until the experimental end, indicating that the components were released from solid to solution preferentially after the following order: Na+ (H3O+) > SO42− > AsO43− > Al3+. From the experimental results under the condition of initial pH 2.00 and 25°C, the solubility products [Ksp] and the Gibbs free energies of formation [ΔGf°] were calculated to be 10−81.02±0.33∼10−81.04±0.27 and −4713 ± 2 to −4714 ± 1 kJ/mol for the natroalunite and 10−92.30±0.30∼10−92.41±0.37 and −5078 ± 2 to −5079 ± 2 kJ/mol for the arsenic-incorporated natroalunite, respectively. The thermodynamic quantities, ΔG°, ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔCp°, were determined to be 462303.43 J/K·mol, 122466.83 J/mol, −1140.39 J/K·mol, and 4280.13 J/K·mol for the natroalunite dissolution reaction at initial pH 2.00 and 25°C and to be 526925.48 J/K·mol, 159674.76 J/mol, −1232.38 J/K·mol, and 1061.12 J/K·mol for the dissolution of the arsenic-incorporated natroalunite at initial pH 2.00 and 25°C, respectively.

Solubility of the artificial synthesis Pb(AsO_4 )_3 Cl was studied at different pH and same temperature to get its solubility product Pb(AsO_4 )_3 Cl and formation free energy (∆G_f^0). The results showed that the solubility and stability of Pb(AsO_4 )_3 Cl were related to pH in the same temperature. The solubility of Pb(AsO_4 )_3 Cl was high in acidic environment (initial pH=2) and in initial pH=4,6 conditions its solubility as near as makes no difference. The ∆G_f^0 increased with increasing temperature.

Tooeleite [Fe6(AsO3)4(SO4)(OH)4·4H2O] was synthesized and characterized to investigate its possible immobilization for arsenic in acidic and alkali environments by a long-term dissolution of 330 d. The synthetic tooeleite was platy crystallites of ~1μm across, giving the lattice parameters of a = 6.4758 Å, b = 19.3737 Å and c = 8.9170 Å. For the tooeleite dissolution, the dissolved arsenic concentration showed the lowest value of 427.3~435.8 mg/L As at initial pH 12 (final pH 5.54). The constituents were dissolved preferentially in the sequence of SO42− > AsO33− > Fe3+ in the aqueous medium at initial pH 2–12. The dissolved iron, arsenite and sulfate existed mainly as FeSO4+/Fe3+, H3AsO30 and SO42− at initial pH 2, and in the form of Fe(OH)30/Fe(OH)2+, H3AsO30 and SO42− at initial pH 12, respectively. The tooeleite dissolution was characterized by the preferential releases of SO42− anions from solid surface into aqueous medium, which was fundamentally controlled by the Fe-O/OH bond breakages and the outer OH− group layers. From the data of the dissolution at 25 °C and initial pH 2 for 270–330 d, the ion-activity product [logˍIAP], which equaled the solubility product [Ksp] at the dissolution equilibrium, and the Gibbs free energy of formation [ΔGfo] were estimated as −200.28 ± 0.01 and −5180.54 ± 0.07 kJ/mol for the synthetic tooeleite, respectively.

Comparison of ion-activity products and equilibrium constants for solution of CaCO3, CaMg(CO3)2, and CaSO4 indicates that water from Fairmont Hot Springs and Banff Hot Springs, and from thermal springs in British Columbia, on Lussier River, Ram Creek and near Fording Mountain, are super-saturated with respect to CaCO3 and, to a lesser extent, with respect to CaMg(CO3)2. At other springs saturation occurs after water is discharged from the springs. In the case of hot springs this is caused by the rise in pH that accompanies loss of excess CO2 and, to a lesser degree, by evaporation; cooling of the water tends to lower the degree of saturation somewhat. At cold springs, increase in water temperature after discharge increases the degree of saturation. Only near-saturation with respect to CaSO4 is indicated for Miette Hot Springs, Fairmont Hot Springs, and Fording Mountain Springs; precipitation of CaSO4 may occur here owing to evaporation of part of the water; the effect of temperature on the degree of saturation is small.

AbstractA method for estimating Gibbs free energies and stabilities of clay minerals is proposed for use with computer programs aimed at calculating the chemical evolution of natural water-rock systems. This is based on (i) a model for ideal solid solutions of a large number of end-member compositions and (ii) a data set of estimated solubility products from 36 end-members. The application of the method to the production of experimental or natural clay stabilities is discussed.
