Abstract
A laboratory extraction method (Ti 3+ -EDTA extraction) for the determination of the oxidation (electron accepting) capacity related to oxides and hydroxides of aquifer sediments was developed. At room temperature, titanous ions (0.008 M Ti 3+ ) in a solution of 0.05 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) reduced oxidized aquifer species. This operationally defined oxidation capacity (ORC) was determined as μmoles of electrons accepted per gram of sediment sample. Well-described oxidized iron and manganese minerals were reduced (ferrihydrite 98%, akageneite 100%, goethite and hematite 93%,magnetite 9%, pyrolmite 99%) whereas organic matter in the sediments was not reduced significantly
