THERMODYNAMIC BASIS OF SELECTIVE ARSENIC REMOVAL FROM IRON OXIDE PIGMENTS OBTAINED FROM BIO-OXIDATION SOLUTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper investigates the thermodynamic principles of selective arsenic removal from iron oxide pigments obtained from technogenic solutions generated during the neutralization of bio-oxidation products. The temperature dependence of Gibbs free energy for reactions involving sodium sulfide was analyzed to evaluate the thermodynamic stability of iron- and arsenic-containing compounds. The calculations demonstrated that arsenic-bearing phases readily transform into sulfide compounds, whereas iron compounds remain thermodynamically stable. The optimal temperature range for selective arsenic removal was determined to be 40–60 °C. The obtained results provide a scientific basis for improving environmentally friendly technologies for processing bio-oxidation solutions and producing iron oxide pigments with reduced toxic impurity content.
