The stoichiometry and thermodynamic properties of As (III) hydroxide complexes were determined from both solubility and Raman spectroscopic measurements. Arsenolite, claudetite, and orpiment solubilities were measured at temperatures to 250 and 300 °C, respectively, in acid solutions (pH < 6) at the saturated vapor pressure of the system. Raman spectroscopic measurements were performed on As2O3-H2O solutions (0.02 ≤ As ≤ 6 m; 0 ≤ pH ≤ 9) at temperatures from 20 to 275 °C. Results indicate that H3AsO30(aq) is the dominant As-bearing species at concentrations up to ~1 m over a wide range of pH (0 8) and temperature (20 300 °C). At higher As concentrations (≥1 2 m), a polymerization-dehydration of H3AsO30(aq) occurs via the formation of As-O-As bonds, leading to the formation of poly-As aqueous complexes. These experimental results were combined with corresponding properties for arsenolite, claudetite, and orpiment obtained in this study to generate H3AsO30(aq) thermodynamic properties within the framework of the revised HKF equation of state (Helgeson et al., 1981; Tanger and Helgeson, 1988). Calculations carried out using these properties indicate that orpiment, realgar, and native As can control As concentration in epithermal fluids at T ≤ 150 200 °C. At higher temperatures (≥250 °C), it is shown that arsenopyrite in association with pyrite and pyrrhotite or cassiterite can control As deposition in hydrothermal environments.
