The forms of non-pyritic Fe in a suite of Victorian brown coals have been determined by 57 Fe Mössbauer analysis. The dominant Fe phase is a poorly-ordered ferric oxyhydroxide with a magnetic ordering temperature of (530 ± 50) K and particle size of approximately 50 Å. Upon exposure of the coal to air, this phase slowly crystallises to goethite. Most of the remaining Fe occurs as a high-spin Fe(II) species attributed to dissolved and hence mobile, Fe(II) humate, which precipitates as the ferric oxyhydroxide to an extent determined by the pH. A third species, present in a much lower concentration, appears to exhibit a transition from low-spin to high-spin Fe(II) as water is removed from the coal.
