MOSSBAUER EFFECT EVIDENCE OF CHLORINE ENVIRONMENTS IN FERRIC OXYHYDROXIDES FROM IRON CORROSION IN CHLORINATED AQUEOUS SOLUTION

A Mossbauer investigation of ferric oxyhydroxides obtained in chlorinated aqueous media demonstrates that Cl− ions take a part in the corrosion process by insertion in akaganeite (FeOOH,Clx) and substitution in lepidocrocite (8FeOOH,FeOCl).
