	Chapter 25. Arsenates, arsenites, phosphates, and vanadates
		Although the number of arsenate, arsenite, phosphate, and vanadate species is second only to that of the silicates, specimens are for the most part rare, and many exceedingly so.
		These species are almost entirely arsenates except magnussonite, nelenite, and schallerite, which are vein-filling arsenites; pyrobelonite and descloizite, which are the only known local vanadate minerals; and three anomalous and aberrant phosphates, meta-ankoleite, newberyite, and niahite.
		The preponderance of the Sterling Hill arsenates are associated with zincite-bearing ore, the red-willemite ore of Parker and Troy (1982), in which no arsenic-bearing primary mineral is found; arsenic may have been introduced to this ore from the fl- willemite zone, the enclosing marble, or some other source.

	Mineral Gallery - The Phosphate Subclasses
		The Arsenate, Vanadate and Antimonate Subclasses of the Phosphate Class of Minerals
		The Arsenate subclass, and to a lesser extent the Vanadate Subclass, of the Phosphate Class almost perfectly mirrors the true phosphates in many ways including structure, diversity and properties.
		The only major difference is the arsenate or vanadate ion replacing the phosphate ion.

		Laboratory Experiment #1: Arsenate adsorption isotherm experiments were conducted using saturated zone sand taken from the vicinity of a landfill in Maine USA and iron filings to examine arsenate immobilization.
		The solutions of different arsenate concentrations were prepared by adding an appropriate quantity of sodium arsenate stock solution to the constant ionic strength solution.
		To evaluate the impact of iron filings on the immobilization the arsenate alone, we conducted a control experiment that was exactly the same as the one described above, only excluding the iron filings.

	Arsenic Poisoning
		The problem is that when you use arsenate instead of organic phosphate, you don't get any ATP when 3-phosphoglycerate is produced.
		I'll betcha this is where the arsenate is causing all the trouble (though I can't find this specifically in a book).
		It is no use except early in the course of the disease because the arsenates have been taken up by tissue.

		Adamite is a favorite among collectors of fluorescent minerals because of its consistent bright green fluorescence under short and long UV light.
		Erythrite, of whom roselite is often associated, is also a rose-colored cobalt arsenate and is easily confused with roselite except for the micaceous cleavage of erythrite.
		Although, a serious collector might not admit it, the more valuable specimens are those that are predominantly pristine, uncleaved clusters with at least a few cleaved globules to demonstrate the light play.

	Berzelian Classification System
		The arsenates and vanadates are closely akin to the phosphates.

		Pyromorphite is thus a phosphate, mimetite is an arsenate, and vanadinite is a vanadate.

	Arsenic: United States
		Ammoniacal Copper Zinc Arsenate (ACZA) is a very similar arsenic formulation sold primarily on the West coast as Chemonite.
		Toxicity from natural sources of arsenic is rare except from drinking highly contaminated groundwater or from breathing highly contaminated air (e.g., from burning of arsenic-containing coal indoors without adequate ventilation).
		Other inorganic forms of arsenic called arsenates are in the pentavalent state (As5+) and are several times less toxic than the arsenites.

		The distribution of 74-As-labeled arsenate and arsenite in pregnant mice and a monkey has been studied by autoradiography and gamma counting of isolated tissues, and their in vitro toxicity to a chondrogenic system has been investigated.
		Aquatic: Total As, arsenate and arsenite concn profiles for the water column of Saanich Inlet, an intermittently anoxic fjord located on Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada, were measured using independent analytical techniques for total As and As speciation to evaluate the accuracy of the speciation technique in oxic and anoxic marine environments.

	Fahlerz and Arsenic-bearing
		However, it should be stressed that the replacement of earlier minerals by tetrahedrite is part of the primary mineralisation and not part of the later processes of supergene enrichment or weathering, as widely reported in the archaeological literature (Craddock, 1995).
		Typically these copper-arsenic-bearing secondary minerals are brightly coloured and found in minor to trace amounts in the upper oxidised zones (gossans) of arsenical copper deposits, or even on mine spoil, having formed as part of their post-mining oxidation by local groundwaters.
		However, the greatest concentration of copper and copper-bearing arsenates is reported from Devon and Cornwall (Embrey and Symes, 1987), where locally, as for example at Wheal Gorland in the St Day district of central Cornwall, the mine dumps are well known for their arsenate assemblages (C. Stanley, pers.comm.).

		It is sometimes necessary to pre-oxidize any arsenites present to arsenates in order to effectively remove arsenic from drinking water to safe levels.
		The rate of arsenites oxidation to form arsenates is therefore limited in the case of oxygen by the rate of oxygen dissolving in the drinking water to be treated.
		Adsorption media may also be used in combination with oxidants such as manganese compounds to pre-oxidize any arsenites present to arsenates which are more efficiently adsorbed from the contaminated water.

		In comparison with the rich structural chemistry of transition metal phosphates, reports on the arsenates are rare.
		Recently we have investigated the structural chemistry of transition metal arsenates and have synthesized a number of new compounds in the A-M-As -O system (A = alkali or alkaline-earth metals and M = V, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Mo) by using hydrothermal methods.
		Most of these arsenates adopt new structural types and have stoichiometries not found in the phosphates.

		Its habit, color and association with other copper arsenates suggested that the specimen could be lavendulan, and an EDS qualitative analysis at the Mining School of Madrid in 1992 confirmed the identification.
		Investigations of other copper prospects in the area were conducted, and one small prospect in the Umbria de Ramonete valley was found also to produce lavendulan, as small electric-blue crystals similar to the Dolores specimens.

		Evidence is now mounting that organic matter and the microbes it feeds may be playing a role in the formation of arsenites in aquifers.
		Part of the solution to this arsenic problem may be to nurture soil microbes that would lock down arsenic compounds instead of releasing them.
		The result suggests the presence of a thriving community of anaerobic microbes that used the nitrates as fuel and converted the poisonous arsenites in the water to less-soluble arsenates.

	January 2001: Ferric salts reduce arsenic in mine effluent by combining chemical and biological treatment
		Arsenite-containing effluent is generally oxidized prior to precipitation to ensure that the arsenate predominates.
		Thus, where ferric arsenate is relatively soluble, the basic arsenates with an iron-to-arsenic molar ratio of eight or more are orders of magnitude less soluble in the pH range of approximately 2 to 8.
		The precipitation of insoluble ferric arsenates is very likely accompanied by co-precipitation of other metals such as selenium; that involves interactions between the various metals species and the ferric hydroxide precipitate.

		Also, both As(III) and As(V), referred to as arsenites and arsenates, may be present simultaneously in groundwater.

		The development of MNZ provides a desirable synergy: while the zeolite provides favorable hydraulic properties in a fixed-bed column, HFO particles are the active ingredients for selective sorption of arsenites and arsenates.

		Hexavalent uranium forms a complex uranyl ion (UO2)+2 which combines with other elements, as oxides, silicates, sulfates, vanadates, arsenates, carbonates, phosphates and molybdates.
		Uranium minerals can be categorized according to their predominant chemical composition, as oxides, silicates, vanadates, phosphates, sulfates, carbonates, arsenates, molybdates, selenites, tellurites, multiple oxides of niobates-tantalates-titantates and urano-organic complexes.
		All uranyl arsenates are secondary minerals, derived from alteration of arsenides and uraninites.
