A reaction mechanism for the oxidation of ferrous chloride by molecular oxygen is developed, and the appropriate constants are evaluated. The effect of a number of cations and anions on the rate of oxidation has been tested.
The study of the kinetics of oxidation of the ferrous monosulfide mackinawite and the fate of the associated heavy metals are important to a better understanding of the processes and mechanisms controlling the release, transport and retention of heavy metals in natural aquatic systems. This project undertook a detailed study of several selected aspects of the aqueous chemistry of heavy metals and of the oxidative dissolution of FeS(s) and the fate of associated heavy metals both during and after the oxidation reaction. The material is organized into sections dealing with the basic aqueous chemistry of iron and sulfur, silver, cadmium, adsorption models, experimental methodology, results and discussion.
The issue of iron-sulfide degradation in concrete aggregates has proven to be a major problem in concrete infrastructure, causing insufficient concrete durability and extensive structural damages which include expansion, cracking, and popouts. Over the years, there have been various reports of iron-sulfide minerals like pyrite and pyrrhotite causing oxidation reactions and leading to extensive residential concrete foundation damage in Connecticut and Quebec, Canada. In many of these cases, damages have been so serious to the structural integrity of the structures that immediate remediation has been required to repair the deterioration. The issue is not well documented despite reports of damage in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe. Currently, there are limited existing standardized testing methods or mitigation strategies for the presence of iron-sulfide minerals in concrete aggregates because the mechanisms by which degradation occurs are not fully understood. The objective of this research is to experimentally measure the kinetics of iron-sulfide oxidation reactions in dissolution systems with oxidizing agents and analyze existing dissolution rate data available to assist in determining the factors that influence the deterioration of aggregates used in concrete infrastructure.
