[3], according to whose arguments we refrain from the assignment of these sites<br />

to the cis (M2) sites and the trans (M1) sites, respectively . An alternative<br />

interpretation is based on the assumption that the different iron sites are due to<br />

the particu<strong>la</strong>r distribution of two- and three-valent metal ions and vacancies<br />

around the Fe 2+ [4-6]. No serious effort appears to have been ma<strong>de</strong> so far to<br />

establish a re<strong>la</strong>tionship between the different Fe 2+ components in the Mössbauer<br />

spectra and the metal ion distribution in the octahedral <strong>la</strong>yers of the trioctahedral<br />

micas.<br />

We have tried also to influence the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ratio by redox reactions of the<br />

vermiculite from Santa O<strong>la</strong>l<strong>la</strong> with H 2 O 2 , Na 2 S 2 O 4 , N 2 H + 5 and phenylendiamine<br />

(PDA). The Fe 2+ content of the starting material (loa<strong>de</strong>d with sodium ions in the<br />

inter<strong>la</strong>yer gap, instead of the Mg-ions naturally present) is in the or<strong>de</strong>r of 10 %.<br />

The Fe 2+ can be oxidized completely with H 2 O 2 , while the reduction of Fe 3+ is<br />

much more difficult. Applying the recipes used in previous studies of the redox<br />

reactions of vermiculites [7-10], we do not get any substantial changes in the<br />

Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ratio with respect to the starting material. Major changes are achieved<br />

only if the concentration of the reagents is increased (H 2 O 2 ), the reaction times

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
