Abstract
Schwertmannite as a sink for rare earth elements (REEs) in environments affected by acid mine drainage (AMD) plays a significant role in the fate of these elements. The conditions to precipitate schwertmannite (i.e., sulfate-rich water and pH between 2.5 and 3.5) are not suitable for this Fe-oxyhydroxysulfate (Fe8O8(OH)6SO4) to adsorb REEs. In estuaries where AMD-impacted rivers meet (e.g. the Odiel and the Tinto rivers in the Ría de Huelva estuary in SW Spain), AMD mixes with seawater raising the pH between 4.5 and 8, thereby enabling REE adsorption on schwertmannite at circumneutral pH. However, the estuarine tidal dynamics exposes REE-enriched schwertmannite to more acidic water, inducing REE desorption, which has yet to be studied.
期刊介绍：
Chemical Geology is an international journal that publishes original research papers on isotopic and elemental geochemistry, geochronology and cosmochemistry.
The Journal focuses on chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry, the environment and cosmochemistry.
Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are appropriate if they are of broad international interest. The Journal generally does not publish papers that are primarily of regional or local interest, or which are primarily focused on remediation and applied geochemistry.
The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.
