The kinetics of Se(IV) removal by zero valent iron (ZVI) open to the air as a function of pH and the involved mechanisms were investigated in this study. The specific rate constants of Se(IV) removal by ZVI decreased from 92.87 to 6.87 L h(-1)m(-2) as pH increased from 4.0 to 7.0. The positive correlation between the removal rate of Se(IV) and the generation rate of Fe(II) and the depression of Se(IV) removal in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline indicated that both ZVI and adsorbed Fe(II) on ZVI surface contributed to the reductive removal of Se(IV). The soft X-ray STXM measurement confirmed the adsorption of Fe(II) on the surface of ZVI and freshly formed ferric (hydr)oxides. Se(IV) was removed by adsorption followed by reduction to Se(0) on ZVI surface at pH 4.0-7.0, as revealed by XANES spectra. A core-shell structure was observed when ZVI reacted with Se(IV)-containing solution for 3 h at pH 6.0. Se(IV) was reduced to Se(0) and co-precipitated with the freshly formed Fe(III), forming the shell surrounding the iron core. After reaction for 24 h, the generated Se(0) was surrounded by multiple layers of Fe(III) oxides/hydroxides. SEM images and XRD patterns revealed that the corrosion products of ZVI at pH 6.0 transformed from amorphous iron hydroxides to lepidocrocite (gamma-FeOOH) as reaction proceeded. The final corrosion products of ZVI contained both lepidocrocite and goethite at pH 5.0 while they were X-ray amorphous at pH 4.0 and 7.0. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
