ABSTRACT:

Although the oxidation process of Fe(OH)2 and the mechanism of formation of gamma-FeOOH have been studied by several groups, many questions still need to be answered. In addition, the procedure for the synthesis of pure gamma-FeOOH has not been well defined. This study is to an attempt to define better the chemistry associated with oxidizing Fe2+ to gamma-FeOOH, and to provide a rationale for scaling this method up to produce kg/hr amounts of gamma-FeOOH.
