Mössbauer and EXAFS spectroscopy investigation of iron and arsenic adsorption to lettuce leaves
Conference paper
Abstract
The accumulation of iron and arsenic from aqueous solution by lettuce leaves biomass was investigated using Mössbauer and EXAFS spectroscopic techniques. Mössbauer spectroscopy results show that iron is oxidized during sorption while EXAFS results indicate that iron is coordinated by approximately 6 oxygen and 2 carbon atoms while arsenic is coordinated by approximately 4 oxygen atoms with iron as a second neighbor.
