Goethite ( α -FeOOH) Due to its high stability, goethite is the most ubiquitous Fe oxide mineral in soils. In the absence of hematite, its yellowish color is responsible for the yellowish-brown hue of many soils (7.4 YR–3.5 Y). Goethite formation is favored by slow hydrolysis of Fe 3+ hydroxy cations at low temperature.

Sorption experiments of arsenic were conducted onto commercial hematite and goethite. The main physico-chemical properties (Table 1) relative to the reactivity of a mineral powder are: the grain size, the specific surface area, the acid–base surface acidity constants (pK a1 and pK a2) corresponding to the protonation and deprotonation of the …

The hematite is red to black, oolitic to massive, earthy to hard. It was associated with goethite and an array of phosphate minerals (Chamberlain, 1877, Hawley and Beavens, 1934; U.S.G.S., 1976; Paull, 1977). It was mined along Iron Ridge near Mayville in Sec. 12 and 13 T.11N R.16E until the mid-1970's.

The 656.7 cm −1 band is …

Goethite is the most common of the iron oxyhydroxides and is antiferromagnetic with a disordering (Néel) temperature of about 120°C (Hedley, 1971 ). Goethite has weak saturation magnetization and very high coercivity ( Hedley, 1971; Rochette and Fillion, 1989 ). It dehydrates to hematite at about 300°C.

It retains the pyrite's basic cubic shape, so it is a pseudomorph. Pyrite is an iron sulfide, and goethite is an iron oxide hydroxide. This compares the goethite sample with a …
