Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

the surface characteristics of the manufactured iron (hydr)oxides are identical to naturally occurring iron (hydr)oxides: The surface oxide groups are protonated according to the pk-values of the respective groups, leading to reported isoelectric points of zero charge. Typically, they can be found in the near neutral region of the pH range 4 - 9. Other surface reactions are not known to take place under physiologically and environmentally relevant conditions.
