Abstract
Reductive dissolution of 7 A bimessite [Mi2+0.05Mn3+0.25Mn4+0.7O1.7(OH)0.25] by selenious acid (H2SeO3) produces Mn3+ and Mn2+ surface reaction products (here represented as S-MnOOH and S-MnO. respectively) and Mn2+,3+-selenite surface complexes at the solution-mineral interface. Mn2p3/2, Se3d. and O1s X-ray photoelectron spectra of reacted surfaces reveal that Mn4+ of birnessite is reduced simultaneously to Mn3+ and Mn2+ while Se6+ is oxidized to Se4+ according to the probable stoichiometric reactions:
2MnO2 + H2SeO3 + H2O → 2S-MnOOH + H2SeO4
MnO2 + H2SeO3 → S-MnO + H2SeO4
There is no XPS evidence for reduction of surface Mn3+ to Mn2+ in the presence of selenite. Whereas this reaction proceeds in the presence of arsenite. selenite apparently inhibits reduction of Mn3+. perhaps through formation of a strong Mn-selenite surface complex.
The rate of release of Mn2+ to dilute selenious acid (1.5 × 1O-3 M) is considerably lower than the rate of release to aerated, distilled water at similar pH. This behavior suggests that adsorbed selenite complexes impede the proton promoted dissolution of the soluble Mn2+ component of birnessite.
