The Nature of Manganese Oxides in Soils and Their Role as Scavengers of Trace Elements: Implication for Soil Remediation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Environmental Soil Remediation and Rehabilitation

Abstract

Manganese (Mn) oxides are ubiquitous in the environment, being found for example under the form of coatings and nodules in soils, freshwater and marine sediments, and as rock varnishes in temperate, arid, and polar areas. In all these settings, they frequently control or influence the geochemical cycle of many trace elements, including metals and organics, through sorption and oxidative degradation mechanisms. In addition, Mn oxides can be used for soil remediation processes, by taking advantage of their exceptional reactivity.

This chapter is divided in two main sections. The first section is devoted to reviewing the nature of Mn oxides found in pristine natural settings. A specific effort made to distinguish between layered and tunnel structures, and their genetic relationship is discussed. Their reactivity toward metals and organics and the evolution of this reactivity as a function of time and chemical conditions are also discussed. In particular, the short- and long-term metal immobilization processes are reviewed. Considering that the associations observed in natural settings can be considered as representative of those occurring during long-term interaction between Mn oxides and the element of interest, the first section provides insights about the long-term retention capacities of Mn oxides as well as the nature of the products formed during the reaction of Mn oxides and metals or organics. The second section of this chapter focuses on the potential uses of Mn oxides for soil remediation. Mn oxides can be used as (1) oxidative reagents for organic and inorganic substances, (2) sorption mediums of trace metals and metalloids, and (3) reactive sorbent agents for chemical warfare agent and organophosphate pesticides. Efficiencies of each technique are variables and specific care is needed regarding the degradation products in the case of organic substances remediation. The use of both natural and engineered Mn oxides is referenced for soil remediation. Birnessite-like structures seem to be the most efficient Mn oxides for cleanup purposes.
