Foreword
The ACS Symposium Series was first published in 1974 to provide a
mechanism for publishing symposia quickly in book form. The purpose of
the series is to publish timely, comprehensive books developed from the ACS
sponsoredsymposiabasedoncurrentscientificresearch. Occasionally,booksare
developed from symposia sponsored by other organizations when the topic is of
keeninteresttothechemistryaudience.
Beforeagreeingtopublishabook,theproposedtableofcontentsisreviewed

comprehensiveness. When appropriate, overview or introductory chapters are
added. Draftsofchaptersarepeer-reviewedpriortofinalacceptanceorrejection,

As a rule, only original research papers and original review papers are
included in the volumes. Verbatim reproductions of previous published papers
arenotaccepted.

Preface
Manganese(Mn)oxidesareamongthemostreactivemineralsintheearth’s
surface environment, and play a significant role in adsorption, co-precipitation
and redox reactions, affecting biogeochemical cycles of numerous nutrients and
contaminants. Inaddition,Mnoxidesarewidelyappliedasabsorbents,ionsieves,
chemical oxidants and catalysts for environmental remediation and pollution
control. Inthepast,significantadvancesinMnoxidegeochemistrywereachieved
on the occurrence and mineralogy of Mn oxides in various geological settings,
and greatly improved our ability to decipher the evolution processes, reactivity
andenvironmentalbehaviorofMnoxides. Thereare,however,stillmanyaspects
poorlyunderstoodintermsoftheenvironmentalgeochemistryofMnoxides,such
as biogenic formation mechanisms, detailed crystal structure of nanocrystalline
phases, electron transfer paths in redox reactions, adsorption mechanisms of
contaminants on surfaces, physiochemical factors controlling the contents of
structuralMn(III)andvacantsitesthatlargelydetermineMnoxidereactivity,and
theroleofMn(III)intheaboveprocesses. Itisincreasinglyrecognizedthatsuch
knowledgeiscriticalforbetterunderstandingbothbiogeochemicalprocessesand
environmentalapplicationsofMnoxides.
To better address the above knowledge gaps and present current advances
on geochemistry of Mn oxides in multiple scientific disciplines, we organized
a symposium entitled “Advances in Understanding the Environmental
Geochemistry of Manganese (Mn) Oxides” at the 247th American Chemistry
SocietyNationalMeetinginDallasonMarch16-20,2014. Thefullproceedings
of the symposium are available at http://geochemistrydivision.sites.acs.org/
acsspring2014sessions.htm. The symposium attracted approximately 100
scientists from the international environmental chemistry and geochemistry
communities. Thirty two speakers, including 20 distinguished invited speakers
gave presentations over two full-day oral sessions. Many cutting-edge findings
and novel methodologies were reported, representing the state-of-the-art in the
fieldofMnoxidegeochemistry.
This book is based on the invited papers presented at the symposium, and
aims to bring together advances on Mn oxide environmental biogeochemistry
from leading scientists in multiple disciplines, e.g., mineralogy, geochemistry,
soilscienceandenvironmentalengineering. Anumberoffrontierresearchtopics
are included in the book, such as in-situ characterization of Mn oxide reactivity
with As and Cr, kinetics and molecular-scale mechanisms of metal oxidation
by Mn oxides, mechanistic understanding of metal sorption through density
functiontheory,theroleofsurfaceedgesitesofbirnessitesinmetal(loid)sorption,
reactivity of natural crytomelane, pathways of phyllomanganate transformation

The book should be of interest to scientists and engineers in a broad range
of disciplines, such as geochemistry, soil science, mineralogy, microbiology,
materials science, and environment engineering, as well as graduate students
who are engaged in research on Mn oxide biogeochemistry and the engineering
applicationofMn-bearingmaterials. Itisalsotargetedforlibrariesintheabove
