“…Reduced and oxidized forms of As [e.g., As (III) and As(V)] and U [e.g., U(IV) and U(VI)] can adsorb on Fe or manganese (Mn) (oxyhydr)oxides and clay minerals by forming both inner-sphere and/or outer-sphere complexes (Cheng et al, 2009; Latta et al, 2014; Massey et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2016; Blanchard et al, 2017). The reactivity of As and U, which can co-occur in the environment, depends on pH and redox conditions, and the two elements generally exhibit opposite behavior when present in similar redox conditions (Troyer et al, 2014a). For example, the oxidation of reduced U(IV) minerals can cause the oxidative dissolution and release of labile U(VI) (Ulrich et al, 2009; Cerrato et al, 2013), while the reductive dissolution of Fe(III)-oxides associated with As can cause As to mobilize (Troyer et al, 2014a).…”
