In this study, the reactivity of hydroxysulphate green rust () toward reductive transformation, oxidative degradation and mineralization of organic compounds was evaluated using Methyl Red (MR) as model pollutant. The was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analyses. Reductive decolourization of MR solution occurred in the presence of , while no total organic carbon (TOC) decay was observed during the equilibration time. Significant TOC removal (87 % ) was noted when H₂O₂ was added to the mixture after the preliminary reduction step. UV–Vis analysis, dissolved iron and H₂O₂ concentration measurement, and batch sorption test showed that the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction is the main mechanism by which the pollutant was mineralized. Increasing of H₂O₂/Fe(II) ratio did not affect significantly the mineralization rate of MR. However, slight decolourization of MR and absence of TOC abatement were noted when both MR and H₂O₂ were simultaneously mixed with the . XRD analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy revealed that the oxidation end-products of were mainly a poorly crystallized goethite when GR was oxidized after equilibrating with MR in solution. However, a badly crystallized iron oxide was formed when GR was immediately oxidized. In all cases, the interlayer anion was ejected from GR structure to aqueous solution. These results suggest that the system could be used to promote the reduction/oxidation reaction of organic pollutants.
