The mineral tooeleite Fe6(AsO3)4SO4(OH)4⋅4H2O is secondary ferric arsenite sulphate mineral which has environmental significance for arsenic remediation because of its high stability in the regolith. The mineral has been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD result indicates tooeleite can form more crystalline solids in an acid environment than in an alkaline environment. Infrared spectroscopy identifies moderately intense band at 773cm−1assigned to AsO33-symmetric stretching vibration. Raman spectroscopy identifies three bands at 803, 758 and 661cm−1assigned to the symmetric and antisymmetric stretching vibrations of AsO33-and As-OH stretching vibration respectively. In addition, the infrared bands observed at 1116, 1040, 1090, 981 and 616cm−1, are assigned to the ν3, ν1and ν4modes of SO42-. The same bands are observed at 1287, 1085, 983 and 604cm−1in the Raman spectrum. As3dband at binding energy of 44.05eV in XPS confirms arsenic valence of tooeleite is +3. These characteristic bands in the IR and Raman spectra provide useful basis for identifying the mineral tooeleite.
