Scientific paper

Fe(II)-dependent nitrite reduction was studied in oxygen-free reaction flasks at pH values from 6.0 to 8.5 and in the presence and absence of the Fe(III) oxyhydroxide lepidocrocite ( -FeOOH). When ionic Fe 2+ was added to flasks containing lepidocrocite, rapid Fe 2+ consumption and release of H + took place. The solid phase turned dark and contained magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ). This reaction was independent of the presence of NO 2 - . However, rapid NO 2 - reduction primarily to N 2 O was observed only after the Fe 2+ binding to lepidocrocite was initiated; insignificant NO 2 - reduction was observed in control flasks without lepidocrocite. Both Fe 2+ binding and associated H + release and NO 2 - reduction were negligible at pH values of 7.0 and below, but increased dramatically as pH was raised to 8.5. The Fe(II) associated with a reactive complex formed during Fe 2+ binding to lepidocrocite, and not the ionic Fe 2+ , seemed responsible for the reduction of NO 2 - . The catalytic effect of Fe(III) oxyhydroxide may stimulate Fe(II)dependent formation of N 2 O from NO 2 - (chemodenitrification) in geochemical systems such as sediments and subsoils.
