Abstract

The SO4 in the jarosite structure can be substituted by other oxyanions, and therefore, the transition of jarosite to goethite plays a very important role in controlling the behavior of oxyanions. In this study, the phase change according to the species of the oxyanion in jarosite and the related behavior of the oxyanion was studied by mineralogical and geochemical methods when jarosite, which is coprecipitated with various oxynions, undergoes a phase change by a reductive dissolution. Jarosite substituted by five oxyanions by 5 mol% was used in this study. The mineral phase change induced by reductive dissolution using ammonium oxalate was investigated, and the order of phase transition rate of jarosite to goethite was MoO4-jarosite ≥ SeO4-jarosite ≥ CrO4-jarosite > pure jarosite > SeO3-jarosite > AsO4-jarosite, showing that the transition rates vary depending on the substituted oxyanion. The resultant concentration of the leached Fe was slightly different depending on the type of oxyanion and time but did not show a noticeable difference. The concentration of each oxyanion leached according to the change of the mineral phase showed that the order of concentration of oxyanions was Mo > Se(SeO3) > As > Se(SeO4) > Cr in general, and showed a slight increase with time. This trend was related to the species of oxyanions rather than mineral phase change. The results of this study showed that the phase transition of jarosite to goethite was affected by the species of oxyanions, but this tendency did not affect the concentrations leached oxyanions.

자로사이트 내의 SO4는 다른 산화음이온으로 치환될 수 있는데 자로사이트가 침철석으로 전이되는 과정은 공침된 산화음이온의 거동에 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 산화음이온과 함께 공침된 자로사이트가 환원성 용해에 의하여 상변화를 거칠 때 산화음이온 종에 따른 상변화의 양상과 이와 수반된 산화음이온의 거동을 광물학적 및 지구화학적으로 연구하였다. 다섯 가지의 산화음이온이 SO4를 5 몰% 치환한 자로사이트가 본 연구에 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 암모늄 옥살레이트를 이용한 환원성 용해 시 일어나는 자로사이트의 광물상의 변화를 측정하였으며 자로사이트의 침철석으로의 전이 속도는 MoO4-자로사이트 ≥ SeO4-자로사이트 ≥ CrO4-자로사이트 > 순수한 자로사이트 > SeO3-자로사이트 > AsO4-자로사이트의 순서를 보여 치환된 산화음이온에 따라서 자로사이트의 상전이 속도가 다름을 보여주었다. 이에 따른 Fe의 용출은 시간과 산화음이온의 종류에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 광물의 변화에 따라 용출되어져서 나온 각 산화음이온의 농도는 전체적으로 Mo > Se(SeO3) > As > Se(SeO4) > Cr의 농도 순위를 보였으며 시간에 따라 약간의 증가를 보였다. 이러한 경향은 광물상의 변화보다는 산화음이온 종류의 특성에 의한 것으로 파악된다. 본 연구 결과는 산화음이온의 종류에 따라 자로사이트의 침철석으로의 변화는 영향이 있었으나 이러한 경향이 용출되는 산화음이온의 농도에 영향을 미치지 않음을 보여주었다.
