Abstract
Abstract Polymerization of silicic acid adsorbed on iron (III) hydroxide from dilute monosilicic acid solutions in the concentration range 5–40ppm (SiO2) was studied over the pH range 6–12. Silicic acid species formed on the hydroxide were trimethylsilylated and trimethylsilyl derivatives were detected by gas chromatography. Monosilicic acid adsorbed polymerized, and dimer (Si2O76−), linear trimer (Si2O108−) and tetramer (Si4O1310−), and cyclic tetramer (Si4O128−) were found as polymeric species.
