Photoredox reactions of environmental chromium by Piotr Mytych, Paweł Cieśla, Zofia Stasicka

“…Although HCrO4− is more susceptible to the quenching than the CrO42− ion, and oxygen favours the reverse reaction, the reduction can be easy noticeable at air-saturated natural waters. Photoredox behaviour of [crEDTA(L)]n- is more complex: it is initiated also by photoreduction, Cr(III) hv→ Cr(II), which at alkaline medium and a large excess of O2 over Cr(II) is followed by the Cr(II) → Cr(VI) oxidation. …”

Weathering products in glacial silt and clay: Using automated mineralogy to probe size distribution and source by Jeffrey W. Crompton

“…Minerals likely undergo preweathering in the near-surface bedrock prior to weathering in sediment in channelized and distributed subglacial waters. Characterizing the mineral alterations that occur subglacially is a step toward identifying the chemical weathering reactions that control the balance of dissolved species in glacial meltwaters and a step toward understanding the source of clay minerals from present and past glacial environments.…”
