Goethite crystals also are found from many localities as crystals suitable for micromounting. or as inclusions in quartz. While the mineral is a yellow brown in color, iridescent coatings can result in aesthetic specimens. There are numerous good examples of goethite pseudomorphing other iron minerals, especially pyrite, marcasite and siderite.

jarosite. A similar pattern of mineral substitution is observed for the JGG assemblage (Figure 1b). If acidity is controlled by the solution itself and aH+ is fixed, jarosite is only stable in a range of low pH (Figure 2). Lower W/R ratios make jarosite stable over a broader pH range. Goethite forms together with jarosite, except at very low
An Overview of Iron Precipitation in Hydrometallurgy
The ability of jarosites to incorporate impurities such as silver or arsenic is discussed. The precipitation of α FeO.OH (goethite) in sulphate media requires that the concentration of Fe 3+ be < 2 g/L, and the two methods employed to satisfy this restriction are reviewed in the light of recent technological developments. The disposal of all ...

Jarosite characteristics and its utilisation potentials
The major mineral phase of jarosite is Potassium Iron Sulphate Hydroxide {KFe3(SO4)2(OH)6}and Iron Sulphate Hydrate {2 Fe2O3SO3 x 5 H2O}. In CCRs the dominant phases are quartz {SiO2}, mullite {3 Al2O3 x 2 SiO2} and hematite {Fe2O3}. The high electrical conductivity of jarosite (13.26+/-0.437 dS/m) indicates that the presence …
Sub-pixel mineral mapping of a porphyry copper belt using …
Goethite, hematite, and jarosite were also discriminated at all three altered districts (Figs. 8 (d–f)). However, the number of pixels which were discriminated as goethite and hematite were more abundant than jarosite. Goethite and hematite were mostly mapped at east and south of the Sarcheshmeh which coincide the mine tailings.

The behavior of trace elements during schwertmannite precipitation …
During the first 164 days, schwertmannite transformed into goethite plus H 3 O-jarosite but, subsequently, goethite was the only mineral to form. Some of the trace elements, such as Al, Cu, Pb, and As were depleted in solution during the first stage as schwertmannite transformed into goethite plus H 3 O-jarosite. On the contrary, the ...
Lepidocrocite
The name goethite recognizes the German poet, philosopher and government minister van Goethe (1749–1832) and that of lepidocrocite describes its appearance from the Greek lepidos meaning a scale and krokeis for the saffron color (causing some confusion with goethite). The name feroxyhyte describes the chemical …
