Abstract

The amorphous mineral selectively dissolved from the clay (<2 μm) fractions of twenty-six ferruginous soils contains considerable iron in addition to silicon and aluminium. SiO2/Al2O3 and SiO2/R2O3 molar ratios are between 2·03-3·52 and 1·72-2·95 respectively. The model of the amorphous ferri-aluminosilicate (AFAS) consists mainly of negatively charged tetrahedrally coordinated silica-alumina phase Si3AlO6(OH)4 containing domains of neutral FeOOH, with an outer positively charged hydroxyaluminium polymeric component [Al(OH)2.5]n.The calculated hydroxyl water content of the AFAS averages 17·8%; cation exchange capacity varies from 48·6 to 112·0 mEq/100 g and shows a negative correlation with the outer hydroxyaluminium octahedral component and a positive correlation with the ratio of the tetrahedral Si-Al component to the octahedral hydroxyaluminium component. The K-fixation capacity (1·9-6·1 mEq/100 g) of the AFAS does not appear to be related to the chemical composition. The genesis of the amorphous mineral is discussed.

Sommaire

La sélectivité su mineral amorphe dissout à partir de fractions d'argiles (<2 μm) contenue dans vingt six sols ferrugineux contient une proportion de fer considerable en plus du silicium et de l'aluminium. Les coefficients molaires de SiO2/Al2O3 et SiO2/R2O3 se situent respectivement entre 2·03-3·52 et 1·72-2·95. Le ferri-alluminosilicate étalon (AFS) consiste principalement de la phase silica-alumina Si3A106(OH)4 tétrahiquement égale at négativement chargée, laquelle contient des ensembles de FeOOH neutres possédant une positivité extérieure chargée du composant polymérique d'hydroxya-aluminium [Al(OH)2.5]n. La teneur en eau de l'hydroxyle dans AFAS est en moyenne de 17,8%; la capacitò d'échange de cations varie de 48,6 à 112 mEq/lOOg et révèle une correlation negative avec le composant extérieur octahédrique d'aluminium ainsi qu'une correlation positive avec le taux du composant tétrahédrique Si-Ai en fonction du composant octahéyaluminium. La capacitò à K-fixé (1,9-6,1 mEq/lOOg) de AFS n'apparait pas avoir de rapport avec la composition chimique. On peut alors discuter de la genèse du minerai amorphe.

Kurzreferat

Kurzreferat

Das amorphe Minerai, das aus den Tonfraktionen (<2 μm) von 26 eisenhaltigen Erden durch selektive Lòsung gewonnen wurde, enthàlt zusàtzlich zu Silizium und Aluminium erhebliche Eisenanteile. SiO2/Al2O3 und SiO2/R2O3 weisen Molekularverhàltnisse zwischen 2·03-3·52 unf 1·72-2·95 auf. Das Modell des amorphen Ferri- Aluminiumsilikats (AFAS) besteht hauptsachlich aus negativ geladener tetraedrisch koordinierter Tonerde-Silikatphase Si3A106(OH)4, die Bereiche von neutralem FeOOH mit einem auBeren positiv geladenen polymerem Bestandteil von Hydroxyalurninium [Al(OH)2.5]n enthàlt. Der errechnete Hydroxylwassergehalt des AFAS enthàlt mittlere Anteile von 17,8%; die Kationenaustauschfàhigkeit schwankt zwischen 48,6 und 112,0 mEq/100 g und steht in negativer Beziehung zu dem àusseren oktaedrischen Bestandteilen und in positiver Beziehung zu dem Verhàltnis zwischen den tetraedrischen Si-Al und Oktahexyaluminium-Bestandteilen. Die K-Fixierfahigkeit (1,9- 6,1 mEq/100 g) des AFAS scheint von der chemischen Zusammensetzung unabhangig zu sein. Es wird das Entstehen des amorphen Minerals eròrtert.

La selectividad del mineral-amorfo disuelto a partir de fracciones (<2 μm) arcillosas de veintiséis suelos ferruginosos contiene considerable hierro, ademàs de silicio y aluminio. Las proporciones molares de SSiO2/Al2O3 y SiO2/R2O3 son de entre el 2·03-3·52 y el 1·72-2·95 respectivamente. El modelo del ferri-aluminosilicato amorfo (FASA) consiste principalmente de coordenada de silice-alùmina, fase Si3A106- (OH)4 tetraèdricamente con carga negativa, conteniendo dominios de FeOOH neutro con un componente mas externo polimèrico de hidroxi-aluminio con carga positiva [Al(OH)2.5]n. El contenido calculado de hidroxil-agua de los FASA tiene promedios del 17,8%; la capacidad de intercambio catiónico vario desde 48,6 a 112,0 mEq/100 g. y muestra una correlación negativa con el componente externo octaédrico de hidroxialumino y una correlación positiva con el indice proporcional del componente Si-Al tetraèdrico al componente octahey-aluminio. La capacidad de fijación-K (1,9-6,1 mEq/100 g.) de las FASA no parece estar relacionada con la composición quimica. Se comenta la genesis del mineral amorfo.
