Abstract

A comprehensive Mössbauer spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction study of six purified glauconites is presented. The Mössbauer spectra were computer-fitted with three Fe3+ and three Fe2+ doublets, both Fe species occupying the trans-OH and two cis-OH octahedral sites. In addition, a seventh smaller doublet is assigned to Fe3+ in tetrahedral coordination. It has been shown that an increasing IVFe3+ content directs VIFe3+ substitution to the cis-OH octahedrally coordinated sites. A correlation between the d(060) reflection and elemental composition is demonstrated.
