Abstract
Biologically catalyzed Mn(II) oxidation produces biogenic Mn-oxides (BioMnO(x)) and may serve as one of the major formation pathways for layered Mn-oxides in soils and sediments. The structure of Mn octahedral layers in layered Mn-oxides controls its metal sequestration properties, photochemistry, oxidizing ability, and topotactic transformation to tunneled structures. This study investigates the impacts of cations (H(+), Ni(II), Na(+), and Ca(2+)) during biotic Mn(II) oxidation on the structure of Mn octahedral layers of BioMnO(x) using solution chemistry and synchrotron X-ray techniques. Results demonstrate that Mn octahedral layer symmetry and composition are sensitive to previous cations during BioMnO(x) formation. Specifically, H(+) and Ni(II) enhance vacant site formation, whereas Na(+) and Ca(2+) favor formation of Mn(III) and its ordered distribution in Mn octahedral layers. This study emphasizes the importance of the abiotic reaction between Mn(II) and BioMnO(x) and dependence of the crystal structure of BioMnO(x) on solution chemistry.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
