Summary

This data release contains macro and microscale datasets describing the abundance, valence states, and mineral residence(s) of chromium, iron, and manganese in natural and synthetic mineral mixtures used in laboratory experiments designed to simulate dynamic conditions in an engineered aquifer system [see Izbicki and Groover (2018) and Miller and others (2020)]. The landing page contains primary metadata about this release and an overview "sample information" table containing descriptions of samples, their analyses, and their methods of preparation and preservation. As there is not a one-to-one correlation between samples and types of analyses performed, the overview table is an important navigation tool to locate data associated with [...]

Purpose

These disparate datasets were used collectively to understand changes in valence state and mineral residence of chromium, manganese, and iron in natural and synthetic mineral mixtures used in laboratory experiments described in Miller and others (2020). The experiments simulated changing biogeochemical conditions during and after an engineered, in-situ process designed to reduce hexavalent chromium and sequester it in the aquifer sediment [see Izbicki and Groover (2018) and Miller and others (2020) for additional details]. Each child's page contains both qualitative and quantitative datasets, which are clearly indicated.

Provenance

All data were generated by the authors of this report at USGS' laboratories in Menlo Park (CA), and at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (Menlo Park, CA) except for the bulk, multi-element compositional data produced by chemical digestion of samples followed by analysis using inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry or inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Those data were generated by AGAT Laboratories under contract to the USGS at its facility at 5623 McAdam Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4Z 1N9.
