The study found that natural needle-like goethite is a good precursor for obtaining hematite with a large specific surface area and exposed (110) facets. Compared to goethite, the derived hematite showed a sixfold increase in chromium removal capacity under the same experimental conditions. Structural model fitting and molecular dynamic simulations confirmed the superior adsorption performance of hematite for chromium. Based on these findings, efficient and economic permeable reactive barrier (PRB) materials were optimized, with a potential application in PRB medium material field highlighted by a column lifespan of 610 PVs at an initial concentration of 20 mg/L Cr (VI).
The (110) facets of hematite have excellent adsorption performance for chromium. We aim to obtain hematite with a large specific surface area and exposed (110) facets by using natural needle-like goethite as the precursor. The derived hematite shows a significant increment in the removal capacity of chromium by six times compared with goethite under the same experimental conditions. Structural model fitting of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy suggested that the interatomic distance of Cr-Fe was approximately 3.6 angstrom for the Cr (VI) coordinated hematite with exposed (110) facets, which was characteristic of the form of bidentate binuclear surface complex. Molecular dynamic simulations for the arrangement of Cr (VI) in (110) facets of goethite and hematite indicated the superiority of hematite adsorption for chromium. We optimized efficient and economic permeable reactive barrier (PRB) materials by crystal plane adjustment based on these experimental and theoretical results. It was found that the life span of the column even reached 610 PVs when the initial concentration of Cr (VI) was 20 mg/L, which indicates its potential application in the field of PRB medium material.
