D. Andreeva et al., FORMATION OF GOETHITE BY OXIDATIVE HYDROLYSIS OF IRON(II) SULFATE, Journal of materials science. Materials in electronics, 5(3), 1994, pp. 168-172
The kinetics and the mechanism of goethite formation in the process of
iron(II)-sulphate oxidative hydrolysis at pH = 4.5 and temperatures o
f 30-degrees and 60-degrees-C were studied by chemical methods, transm
ission electron microscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Experimental ev
idence was found for the role of iron(II) and the hydrolysis intermedi
ates in the formation of a crystalline goethite phase.
