“…This can be done for example at elevated temperatures, near the boiling point of water (80-95 °C) and under controlled supersaturated conditions. (Singhania et al, 2005;Fujita et al, 2008) Crystalline Scorodite is at least 100 times less soluble than its amorphous counterpart (FeAsO4 · xH2O[am]) (Krause and Ettel, 1989;Langmuir et al, 2006;Bluteau & Demopoulos, 2007) and given its high arsenic content (in comparison to the Fe (III)-As(V) co-precipitates as mentioned above) has been advocated for the fixation of arsenic-rich wastes. (Filippou & Demopoulos 1997;Fujita et al, 2008) At even higher temperatures (>100 °C, the hydrothermal precipitation range) during autoclave hydrothermal processing of copper (Berezowsky et al, 1999) and gold (Dymov et al, 2004) sulphide feedstock's, other crystalline phases than Scorodite are reported to form some of which exhibit equal or better stability than Scorodite (Swash & Monhemius, 1994;Dutrizac & Jambor, 2007.…”
