Iron Chemistry
Introduction of Iron Chemistry
The redox reaction of iron chemistry are involved in several important phenomena accouring in natural waters and water treatment systems. The oxidation of reduced iron minerals, such as pyrite (FeS2), produces acidic waters and the problem of acid mine drainage. The oxidation/reduction of iron in soil adn groundwaters determines the iron content of these waters.
Redox reaction are intimately involved in the removal of iron from waters. As we know that the oxidation...
