Iron(III)-arsenate compounds are stable under oxidizing conditions (Fig. 12.15). Assuming that redox conditions in the stratum become reductive, iron(III) converts to iron(II) and arsenate becomes arsenite (AsO3- or AsO ). As conditions reduce further, arsenic solubility is regulated by sulfides and pH (arsenic MCL is set at 0.05 mg L 1, arsenosulfides exhibit a solubility near 1 mg L 1). Arsenic redox reactions can be carried... 

Standard solutions of most reductants tend to react with atmospheric oxygen, For this reason, reductants are seldom used for the direct titration of oxidizing analytes indirect methods are used instead. The two most common reductants, iron(If) and thiosulfate ions, are di.scussed in the paragraphs that follow. 

A mutation that substituted proline for a highly conserved ligand that does not bind iron, the leucine residue at position 134 which is not at the ferroxidase or nucleation sites, changed the rate of reductive iron release dramatically [49]. Initial rates of reductive iron release were increased four-fold in the pro/leu protein and were monophasic compared to wild-type proteins, which have a biphasic rate of iron release [52]. As a result, the time required to release all of the iron from the mineral (480 Fe/24-mer) was greatly decreased 5 minutes compared to 150 minutes for leu/pro compared to a biphasic release rate in wild-type protein (Table 12-1). 

For economic reasons, industrial catalysts consist of smelted iron oxides (60-70 % Fe) mixed with oxides of Al, Ca, Mg, and L, ground to 6-20 mm. During the activation of the catalyst by reduction, iron crystallites are formed with an interconnected pore system and an inner surface area of 10-20 m /g. The surface is partially covered by promoter oxides. 

The overall reaction mechanism is summarized in Fig. 12.1. When reinforcing steel is immersed in the model solution, the cathodic reaction is oxygen reduction. Iron reacts through either of these two predominant reactions ... 

Other gases analyzed by online mass spectrometers in the iron and steel industry include those involved in coke ovens and direct reduction iron. 

The change in oxidation potential during the titration of a reductant (iron(II)) by an oxidant (ceri-um(IV)) is shown in Figure 5. The final oxidation potential increases with the strength of the oxidant used. Sometimes, it is possible to make a simple calculation of the equivalence potential (Epp) as follows. For the reaction that can be written as in [XVII] ...

As is the case with denitrification, t5q3ical AGt values for iron reduction under ordinary conditions are not quite as negative as AG° for 10 M CH2O, a pH of 7, and 10 M Fe, AGt= —12 kcal/mol at 25 °C. Although Fe reduction is less energetically favorable than Mn reduction, iron is much more abundant than manganese in most environments, and therefore iron(III) is likely to be the more important oxidant.
