A series of the arsenate-substituted natroalunite solid solutions were synthesized by hydrothermal precipitation at 200 °C and pH of 4 and characterized to investigate the AsO4substitution for SO4in natroalunite as the base of a possible immobilization method for arsenic. The AsO4substitution in natroalunite increased when the [AsO4/(AsO4+ SO4)]aqmolar ratios of the initial aqueous solutions increased and the maximum substitution reached ~67% molar for the [AsO4/(AsO4+ SO4)]aq= 0.26. The XRD analysis confirmed that all hydrothermal synthetical solids for the [AsO4/(AsO4+ SO4)]aq≤ 0.26 were characteristic of natroalunite-type phases. The AsO4substitution in the natroalunites increased theclattice parameters, owing to the difference between the Ssingle bondO distance and the Assingle bondO distance in the crystal structures. For the [AsO4/(AsO4+ SO4)]aq= 0.28 at 200 °C and pH of 4, a mixture of natroalunite, amorphous arsenate phase and Na2SO4was formed. The crystals of the arsenate-substituted natroalunites were regular ditrigonal scalenohedron (pseudo-octahedron). The Raman spectra were characterized by two bands centered upon 899–917 cm−1and 981–997 cm−1, which represented the symmetric stretching vibrationv1(AsO4) and the antisymmetric stretching vibrationv3(AsO4), respectively. The infrared bands around 868–897 cm−1were assigned to the symmetric stretching vibrationv1(AsO4). The thermal decomposition of the arsenate-substituted natroalunites showed three separated endothermic steps, namely the loss of H3O+, the loss of OH−and the loss of SO3+ (As2O3+ O2). The solubility products [Ksp] and the Gibbs free energies of formation [ΔGfo] for the arsenate-substituted natroalunites decreased from 10−81.21to 10−109.16and from −4714.49 kJ/mol to −5352.95 kJ/mol with the increase of the AsO4substitution from 0% to 67%, respectively.
