ABSTRACT:

The presence of natural industrial jarosite type-compunds in the environment could have important implications in the mobility of potentially toxic elements such as lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, among others. Understanding the dissolution reactions of jarosite-type compunds is notably importante for an environmental assesment (for water and soil), since some of these elements could either return to enviroment or work as temporary deposits of these species, thus would reduce their immediate enviromental impact.
