13 Green Rust(Cl ) *1, * 1*2, *1, *1, * 1 Synthesis of Green Rust(Cl ) and Characterization of its Oxidation Process By Futoshi Nagata, Katsuya Inoue, Kozo Shinoda, Shigeru Suzuki and Yoshio Waseda Chloride-containing green rust, GR(Cl ) with formula [Fe II 3 FeIII (OH) 8 ] + [Cl nh 2 O], was synthesized from the solutions of ferric chloride, ferrous chloride, and sodium hydroxide. The suspension containing GR(Cl ) was oxidized by passing oxygen gas into the aqueous solution, in which GR(Cl ) was transformed into α-feooh and γ-feooh. In order to clarify the influence of reaction conditions on the formation of iron oxyhydroxides and oxides obtained from GR(Cl ), the X-ray diffraction method was used for analyzing the solid particles formed during conversion. The ph and oxidation reduction potential(orp) values of the aqueous solution were monitored during the transformation of GR(Cl ). In addition, transmission electron microscopy was used for analyzing the morphology of the solid particles separated from the suspension. The oxidation of hydroxysulfate green rust, GR(SO 2 4 ), was also investigated in the similar way in order to compare the oxidation of GR(Cl ) with that of GR(SO 2 4 ). These results indicate that the formation of different structures of iron oxyhydroxides in aqueous solution strongly depends on the reaction conditions.
