A study on the formation of black iron oxide was carried in differents of Fe(III), Fe(II) ion in the aqueous solution that iron(II) sulfate was calcined under various temperature and leached in water. The results obtained was follows; (1) It was found that the sample calcined in an electric muffle furnace maintained at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and leached in water was equivalent mole (Fe(III) /Fe(II) = 1) in 20% aqueous solution. (2) When the above mentioned solution was hydrolyzed at pH range of 7 to 8 for 2 hours at $100^{\circ}C$, 93% and over of iron was recovered in the form of ${\alpha}-Fe_3O_4$ with a black colour.

This study investigated the treatment of liquid waste containing highly concentrated iron(III)-ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (Fe(III)-EDTA) of 70,000 mg/L by an underwater electrical discharge process using low voltage and high current. When AC voltage is applied to the discharging electrode with the other electrode grounded, the temperature of the liquid waste around the discharging electrode rapidly increases, and at the same time, hydrogen and oxygen gases are formed at the electrode as a result of electrochemical reactions. Ultimately, gases formed by vaporization of water and electrochemical reactions cover the electrode. Since the liquid waste is electrically conductive, it elongates the ground electrode up to the border of the gas layer, where electrical discharge occurs. Without hydrogen peroxide, electrical discharge was able to remove about 50% of Fe(III)-EDTA. As the concentration of hydrogen peroxide added increased, the removal efficiency of Fe(III)-EDTA increased. When the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to the initial Fe(III)-EDTA was higher than 24.7, more than 80 g of Fe(III)-EDTA was removed with an energy of 1 kWh. A comparison between tungsten and steel electrodes showed that electrode material did not affect the Fe(III)-EDTA removal. In the present underwater electrical discharge process, the removal of Fe(III)-EDTA was completed within 30 min at molar ratios of hydrogen peroxide to the initial Fe(III)-EDTA higher than 24.7.

Remediation of groundwater using zero valent iron filings has received considerable attention in recent years. However, zero valent iron is gradually transformed to iron(III) oxides at permeable reactive barriers, so the reduction of iron(III) oxides can enhance the longevity of the reactive barriers. In this study, microbial reduction of Fe(III) was performed in anaerobic condition. A medium contained nutrients similar to soil solution. The medium was autoclaved and deoxygenated by purging with 99.99% $N_2$ and pH was buffered to 6, while the temperature was regulated as 2$0^{\circ}C$. Activity of iron reducing bacteria were not affected by chlorinated organics but affected by iron(III) oxide. Although perchloroethylene(PCE) was not degraded with only ferric oxide, PCE was reduced to around 50% with ferric oxide and microorganism. It shows that reduced iron can dechlorinate PCE.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Fe and Mn oxides coated granular activated carbons (FMOCGs) for the removal of arsenite and arsenate by oxidation and adsorption mechanisms using surface characterization and batch adsorption experiments. Within four manufactured adsorbents, Fe and Mn contents of FMOCG-1 was the highest (178.12 mg Fe/g and 11.25 mg Mn/g). In kinetic results, As(III) was removed by oxidation and adsorption with FMOCGs. Removal of arsenic by FMOCGs increased as pH value of the solution decreased. The adsorption isotherm results were well fitted with Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption amount of As(V) onto FMOCGs was higher than that of As(III) and the maximum adsorption capacities of FMOCGs for As(III) and As(V) were 1.38~8.44 mg/g and 2.91~9.63 mg/g, respectively.

The use of bacteria as a novel biotechnology to facilitate the production of nanoparticles is in its infancy. Cobalt-substituted magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by a thermophilic iron(III)-reducing bacterium, TOR-39, under anaerobic conditions using amorphous Fe(III) oxyhydroxides plus cobalt ( $Co^{2+}$ and $Co^{3+}$ ) as an electron acceptor and organic carbon as an electron donor. Microbial processes produced copious amounts of nm-sized cobalt substituted magnetites. Chemical analysis and X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that cobalt was substituted into biologically facilitated magnetites. Microbially facilitated synthesis of the cobalt-substituted magnetites may expand the possible use of the specialized ferromagnetic particles.

수지충전식 전해재생조내에서 바나듐-철-Picolinate 착화물이 함유된 모의 LOMI 제염폐액의 재생거동에 대한 공정변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 전기투석에 의해 양이온종이 제염 폐액으로부터 제거되는 재생 분리효율에 대한 전류밀도, 제염폐액 공급유량 및 재생조내 수지층두께 등 공정변수의 영향은 바나듐이온이 가장 크게 받는다. 공정변수의 영향을 총괄 파라미터인 공정변수비 $\alpha$로 정의하여 나타낼 때 재생 분리효율 95%이상을 얻기 위해서는 $\alpha$가 0.2 이하로 유지되어야 한다. LOMI 제염폐액의 재생시 전기투석 flux는 공정변수비, $\alpha$값이 증가함에 따라 철이온이 바나듐이온에 비해 더욱 커지는 경향을 보였다. 재생종료 후 발생되는 음극폐액내 철 및 코발트 등 방사성이온종은 음극액의 초기 수소이온 농도를 조절하면 침전제의 첨가 얼이 음극반응에 의해 음극액의 pH를 산성에서 알카리성으로 바꿀 수 있어, 수산화물 형태의 침전물 입자로 만들어 쉽게 제거할 수 있다. 재생시 바나듐이온은 대부분 $V^{III}$(Pic)$_2$$^{+}$ 착화물형태로 전기투석된다. 음극액으로 formate용액을 사용하면 철 및 코발트 등 방사성이온종을 제거한 음극액은 농축된 LOMI제염제로 회수하여 필요시 산화가를 조정한 후 재생된 착화제와 혼합하여 제염제로 재사용할 수 있어, 더욱 효과적으로 제염폐액을 재생하는 향상된 재생방법이다.다.

The oxidation states of structural Fe in clay minerals often reflect the paleo-redox conditions of the depositional environments. It is inevitable to utilize the high resolution of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the mechanism of mineral transformation at nano-scale. The applications of TEM- electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) for quantification of $Fe(III)/{\Sigma}Fe$ from the K-nontronite formation associated with structural Fe(III) reduction in nontronite under deep subseafloor environment were demonstrated. In particular, quantification of the changes in Fe-oxidation state at nanoscale is essential to understand the mechanisms of minerals formation. The procedure of EELS acquisition, quantitative determination of Fe-oxidation states, and advantages of EELS techniques were discussed.
