84that for pure <strong>silica</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the goethite coating exhibited a larger capacity than the discretegoethite system. Both characterizati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> studies reveal that sub-micrometerir<strong>on</strong> <strong>oxide</strong> coatings are produced; these coatings significantly increased <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g>capacity impacting interacti<strong>on</strong>s at the aqueous interface.In the following chapters, mechanisms of heavy <str<strong>on</strong>g>metal</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>adsorpti<strong>on</strong></str<strong>on</strong>g> to ir<strong>on</strong> <strong>oxide</strong> areinvestigated using XAS <strong>and</strong> are followed by surface complexati<strong>on</strong> modeling <strong>and</strong> sorpti<strong>on</strong>to <strong>coated</strong> <strong>silica</strong>.
