Abstract

The composition of biomasses obtained by the cultivation of Leptothrix genus bacteria in Adler, Fedorov, and Lieske nutrition media has been studied by infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of the biogenic materials in the reaction of CO oxidation was tested using in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared spectroscopy. The fresh materials contained α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, and γ-Fe2O3 at different ratios, one component being predominant. A noticeable catalytic activity of all samples was registered at 250 °C. The catalytic performance depended on FeOOH → Fe2O3 transitions. Spent samples contained mixtures of α-FeOOH and γ-FeOOH as well as α-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe2O3. The catalytic activity up to 200 °C was assigned to the oxyhydroxides, whereas that at 250 °C is a result of α-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe2O3 formation during the process. The oxyhydroxides showed low catalytic activity in the applied reaction, maghemite exhibited a moderate catalytic activity, whereas hematite activity was commensurate with that of the oxyhydroxides. The catalytic activity in CO oxidation was inherent for biogenic maghemite.
