Thermodynamic data on iron and solubility of Green Rusts Introduction
state of the art Basic and complex systems Iron is found in combinations and never in its native state, The main minerals containing iron are: hematite Fe2 O3 (s), magnetite Fe3 O4 (s), pyrite FeS2 (s) and siderite FeCO3 (s) In aqueous media, ferrous and ferric ions are most commonly observed, Ferrous and ferric ions can be complexed by many inorganic ligands such as chloride, sulfate, carbonate, ... Two sub systems are considered: basic systems (Fe2 O3 −FeO−H2 O) and more complex systems (FeO−H2 S−H2 O, FeO−Cl−H2 O, FeO−Fe2 O3 −CO2 −H2 O)

Thermodynamic data on iron and solubility of Green Rusts Relationship between free energy and electronegativity of the anion
Relation between ∆f Gm0 of GRs and electronegativities of the anions
Normalisation to 2 OH in the layer per mole formula The Gibbs free energy is normalized to 2 OH in the structure: for example 3+ 2– GR2 : [Fe2+ 4/6 Fe2/6 (OH)2 ][(SO4 )1/6 ], and logically the electronegativity of the anion is normalized in the same way.

Thermodynamic data on iron and solubility of Green Rusts Crystallite size and morphology of Mg(OH)2
Crystallite size The mean crystallite size can be estimated by applying Debye-Scherrer formula Lhkl =
k ∗λ β ∗ cos( 2θ 2 )
(1)
where: Lhkl is the mean size of the ordered (crystalline) domains, which may be smaller or equal to the grain size; K is a dimensionless shape factor, with a value close to unity. The shape factor has a typical value of about 0,9; λ is the X-raywavelength; β is the line broadening at half the maximum intensity (FWHM), after subtracting the instrumental line broadening, in radian; θ is the Bragg angle.
Thermodynamic data on iron and solubility of Green Rusts Crystallite size and morphology of Mg(OH)2
Morphology of Mg(OH)2 The XRD pattern of the products showed the presence of reflections characteristic of the hexagonal phase of the products; The powder XRD peaks are consistent with the data of the JCPDS file of Mg(OH)2 with hexagonal phase; The cell constants are calculated to be a = 3,1442 Å and c = 4,7770 Å which are in agreement with the reported values of a = 0,3147 Å and c = 0,4769 Å; the products size, calculated from DebyeScherrer formula based on the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of different diffraction peaks, has different values, which indicates that Mg(OH)2 has a very small size. The morphology of crystalline particles obtained mainly varies depending on the salt concentration and base initially introduced into this solution
