| Resumo |
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM/EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the morphology of synthetic goethite. The behavior of the hydroxyl/water molecular units of goethite and its thermally treated products were characterized using Fourier transform-infrared emission spectroscopy (FT-IES) and attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared (ATR–FTIR) spectroscopy. The results showed that all the expected vibrational bands between 4000 and 650 cm−1 including the resolved bands (3800–2200 cm−1) were confirmed. A band attributed to a new type of hydroxyl unit was found at 3708 cm−1 and assigned to the FeO–H stretching vibration without hydrogen bonding. This hydroxyl unit was retained up to the thermal treatment temperature of 500 °C. On the whole, seven kinds of hydroxyl units, involving three surface hydroxyls, a bulk hydroxyl, a FeO–H without hydrogen bonding, a nonstoichiometric hydroxyl and a reversed hydroxyl were observed, and three kinds of adsorbed water were found in/on goethite. |
