Abstract  

The iron bearing phases present in a ferromanganese nodule from the Central Indian Ocean have been determined using57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Mössbauer results have been corroborated by XRD, IR and TG-DTA studies. The Mössbauer spectrum of a ferromanganese nodule shows a broad line width which indicates the presence of more than one iron bearing paramagnetic oxide or oxyhydroxide phases where iron is present as Fe3+. -FeOOH has been distinctly characterised as one of the iron bearing phases in the nodule. Other oxyhydroxide and oxide phases of iron in the nodule have been ruled out. A typical paramagnetic doublet persists even at very high temperature which has been proposed to be due to iron(III)phosphate. Formation of solid solution of Mn2O3–Fe2O3 has been observed in the heat treated nodule at 1073 K, which has been characterised by the Mössbauer technique.
