Abstract
Raman spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K has been used to characterise synthetic and natural jarosites of formula Mn(Fe 3+)6(SO4)4(OH)12 where M is K or Na. The natural jarosites are characterised by a well define hydroxyl stretching pattern in contrast to that of the synthetic jarosites. This difference is attributed to differences in hydrogen bonding in the mineral. Multiple Raman OH stretching bands are indicative of non-equivalent OH units in the structure. Jarosites are characterised by an intense sharp band between 1007 and 1010 cm-1attributed to the sulphate symmetric stretching mode. The band width for K-jarosite is 4.4 cm-1 at 298 K and 3.6 cm-1 at 77 K in comparison to the values for synthetic jarosite of 10.0 (298 K) and 7.3 cm-1 (77 K). Differences in the spectra between the natural and synthetic jarosites are found. Reasons for these differences in the spectra are provided.
Citations:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
