Abstract

In this study we experimentally investigated the interaction of Mo(VI) with magnetite, which is a corrosion product of steel. The work was conducted with commercial magnetite, and we studied the influence of pH, pe and solid/liquid ratio on Mo sorption. A Surface Complexation Model (SCM) has been applied tothe experimental data, allowing to explain the results using the Diffuse Layer Model (DLM) and by considering the formation of the monodentate complex: >FeOMo(OH)5. At pH 2, experimental data were satisfactorily fitted to a a Langmuir isotherm.
