Abstract
The purpose of this work was to synthesize hexahydrate aluminum selenite Al2(SeO3)3⋅6H2O (analogous to the mineral alfredopetrovite) and study its solubility in water. Al2(SeO3)3⋅6H2O is synthesized from AlCl3 and Na2SeO3 solutions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The obtained samples were studied using powder diffractometry, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and complex thermal analysis. Solubility was determined by isothermal saturation in ampoules at 25°C. Solubility products were calculated using Geochemist’s Workbench software package (GMB 9.0, SpecE8 program). As a result of the calculation, the average value logKsp[Al2(SeO3)3⋅6H2O] = –28.3 ± 0.5 was obtained. An Eh–pH diagram is constructed for the Al–Se–H2O system, which was used to analyze the stability of alfredopetrovite in near-surface conditions.
期刊介绍:
Geology of Ore Deposits is a periodical covering the topic of metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits, their formation conditions, and spatial and temporal distribution. The journal publishes original scientific articles and reviews on a wide range of problems in theoretical and applied geology. The journal focuses on the following problems: deep geological structure and geodynamic environment of ore formation; distribution pattern of metallogenic zones and mineral deposits; geology and formation environment of large and unique metallic and nonmetallic deposits; mineralogy of metallic and nonmetallic deposits; physicochemical and isotopic characteristics and geochemical environment of ore deposition; evolution of ore-forming systems; radiogeology and radioecology, economic problems in exploring, developing, and mining of ore commodities.
