1 Bringing knowledge to life MINERALOGICAL CONTROL OF THE DISPERSION OF ANTIMONY IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT Peter Leverett, Adam J. Roper and Peter A. Williams School of Natural Sciences, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith NSW 2451, Australia
2 Several hundred Sb-bearing primary sulfides and sulfosalts all essentially insoluble in H 2 O stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ) is most common by far Some 40 secondary minerals formed by oxidation all more soluble in H 2 O Conflicting reports in the literature concerning mobility How soluble? Which are important? What environments? ph, redox potential and other dissolved components all play a role
3 A simple, typical oxidation sequence would be stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ) kermesite (Sb 2 S 2 O) senarmontite/valentinite (Sb 2 O 3 ) cervantite (Sb 2 O 4 ) antimonic acid (HSbO 3 nh 2 O n = 0.5-6). Natural salts of the latter may be members of the roméite group, or stibiconite, bindheimite, bismutostibiconite, stetefeldtite, cubic pyrochlores, A 2-p B 2 X 6-q Y 1-r, space group Fd3m, Z = 8.
4 1. hydroxycalcioroméite (Ca,Sb 3+ ) 2 (Sb,Ti) 2 O 6 (OH) CaSb 2 O 5 (OH) 2 or Ca(H 3 O)Sb 2 O 6 (OH) 2. oxycalcioroméite Ca 2 Sb 2 O 7 3. oxyplumboroméite Pb 2 Sb 2 O 7 Atencio et al. (2010) Canadian Mineralogist, 48,
5 E/V ph Vink, B.W. (1996) Chemical Geology, 130, Sb 2 O 5 as a proxy; Sb(OH) 6 at all ph values; problems with thermochemical data better now
6 E(V) ph O 2 H 2 O Sb 2 O 4 CaSb 2 O Sb 2 O H 2 O H 2 Sb 2 S Sb 2 S 2 O Pourbaix diagram for simple Sb mineral phases for a(ca 2+ ) = 10 4 ; data for CaSb 2 O 6 from measurements of amorphous material by Johnson et al. (2005) Journal of Environmental Quality, 34,
7 Solution chemistry is comparatively simple Good and reliable thermochemical data for hydrolysed species Oxidized systems dominated by [Sb(III)]: Sb(OH) 2+, Sb(OH) 3o, Sb(OH) 4 ; [Sb(V)]: Sb(OH) 4+, Sb(OH) 5o, Sb(OH) 6 Other inorganic ligand complexes are negligible Organic complexes are enigmatic
8 Simple oxide solubilities at K at circumneutral ph 0.5Sb 2 O 3 (senarmontite, s) + 1.5H 2 O(l) Sb(OH) 3o (aq); lg K = 4.98; ca 1.3 ppm Sb Sb 2 O 4 (cervantite s) + 1.5H 2 O(l) Sb(OH) 3o (aq) + Sb(OH) 5o (aq); lg K = 10.84; ca 2 ppt Sb Sb(V) species, are rather more varied
9 BSE images of synthetic brandholzite (left, FOV 1.7 mm) and synthetic bottinoite (centre, FOV 5 mm). The bottinoite crystals (blue) altering from ullmannite (NiSbS, dark grey) are ca 2 mm across. Smaller cations with Sb(OH) 6 give species like Bottinoite Ni[Sb(OH) 6 ] 2 6H 2 O Brandholzite Mg[Sb(OH) 6 ] 2 6H 2 O Mopungite NaSb(OH) 6
10 Aqueous solubilities (mol dm 3 ) at K are mopungite: 3.18 ± 0.2 x 10 3 ; 387 ppm Sb brandholzite: 1.95(4) x 10-3 ; 475 ppm Sb bottinoite: 3.42(11) x 10-4 ; 83 ppm Sb Blandamer et al. (1974) Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions, ; Diemar et al. (2009) Pure and Applied Chemistry, 81, These are ephemeral phases and react to give much less soluble species Antimonic acid (HSbO 3 nh 2 O) solubility is about 10 ppb Sb at natural ph values, including hyperacidic environments
11 Larger cations stabilize the pyrochlore structure of the roméite group Solubility studies complicated by ion exchange phenomena Oxyplumboroméite, FOV 5 mm, Broken Hill, Australia (left); stibiconite, probably oxycalcioroméite, 5 cm, San Luis Potosí, Mexico (right); images courtesy of Mindat.org
12 At K, oxyplumboroméite, Pb 2 Sb 2 O 7, in M HNO 3 gives a final ph of (n = 6) and total dissolved Sb equal to x 10 8 mol dm 3 (ca 9.3 ppb) At K, oxycalcioroméite, Ca 2 Sb 2 O 7, in M HNO 3 gives a final ph of (n = 6) and total dissolved Sb equal to x 10 7 mol dm 3 (ca 40 ppb) Diemar et al. (2009) Pure and Applied Chemistry, 81,
13 Other phases are worthy of attention Tripuhyite, FeSbO 4, and schafarzikite, FeSb 2 O 4 Mindat lists 38 localities for tripuhyite and 9 for schafarzikite; others are known Tripuhyite (left), Clara mine, Oberwolfach, Germany, FOV 10 mm; schafarzikite (right), Krížnica, Slovakia; FOV 4 mm; images courtesy of Mindat.org.
14 At K, ΔG fө (FeSbO 4,s) = T (K) ± 5.5 kj mol 1 and ΔG fө (FeSb 2 O 4,s) = T (K) ± 3.5 kj mol 1 Extrapolation to K gives ΔG fө (FeSbO 4,s) = ±5.5 and kj mol 1 and ΔG fө (FeSb 2 O 4,s) = ±3.5 kj mol 1 Swaminathan and Sreedharan (2003) Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 358, These values are quite startling if the extrapolation is reliable!
15 FeSbO 4 (s) + 3H 2 O(l) FeOOH(s) + Sb(OH) 5o (aq); lg K = a(sb(oh) 5o ) = 18.3 at K FeOOH(s) + 2Sb(OH) 3o (aq) + H + (aq) + e FeSb 2 O 4 (s) + 4H 2 O(l); E o = 1.38 V at K Goethite vanishes from considerations! Is the extrapolation reliable? We had better find out
16 Stabilities were thus determined using solution methods Derived ΔG fө (s, K) values for FeSb 2 O 4 and FeSbO 4 are and kj mol 1, respectively These values compare favourably, and unexpectedly, with those in the literature a(sb(oh) 5o ) = at K reacts with goethite to form tripuhyite Leverett et al. (2011) Chemical Geology, submitted for publication.
17 E (Volt) ph K; total dissolved Sb and Fe = 10 6 mol dm 3
18 Why has tripuhyite been overlooked? Physical characteristics Tripuhyite rosettes up to 0.5 mm across, Clara mine, Oberwolfach, Germany; images courtesy of Mindat.org. Majzlan et al.

(2011) Chemical Geology, submitted for publication.
19 So where do we stand? Sb is not going anywhere in solution and we have shown that Sb(OH) 6 (aq) reacts with goethite, ferrihydrite, akaganéite and NH 4 Fe(SO 4 ) 2 12H 2 O to give tripuhyite Colloids, suspensions, organics, adsorption Montserrat Filella, Juraj Majzlan, and others In my geochemical world, soil is a wonderful filter and geochemical anomalies are very tight
