Experimental Determination of Stability Constant of Ferrous Iron Borate Complex [FeB(OH)4+] at 25°C from Solubility Measurements

Xiong, Yongliang X.; Kirkes, Leslie D.; Knox, Jandi L.; Marrs, Cassandra M.; Burton, Heather L.

The stability constant of FeB(OH)4+ is expected to find applications in many areas of study. For instance, FeB(OH)4+ may have played an important role in transport of ferrous iron in reducing water bodies at the surface of the primitive Earth. In the nearfield of geological repositories, the formation of FeB(OH)4+ can sequestrate soluble borate, lowering borate concentrations available to the formation of the Am(III)-borate aqueous complex.
