Schwertmannites are secondary minerals widespread in acid mine drainages, and their development and transformations are controlled by environmental factors such as temperature, pH, and co-existing ions. In this study, the effects of temperature and ion concentration on the stability and transformation of biogenic and As-containing schwertmannites were investigated. The results showed that the increase of aging temperature favored mineral phase transformations (MPT): for schwertmannites with and without As incubated for 15 weeks, MPT did not take place at 4 ℃, but partially occurred at 40 ℃. In addition, the change of potassium ion concentration resulted in different aging products of schwertmannites: for the biogenic schwertmannites incubated for 15 weeks, the major aging products were goethite and jarosite/goethite at potassium ion concentrations of 0.01 mM and 100 mM, respectively; for the As(Ⅲ)-containing schwertmannites incubated for 15 weeks, oft-com:office:office" />
