Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT

17 18

In situ precipitation of magnetite and other minerals potentially sequesters dissolved arsenic (As)

19

in contaminated aquifers. This study examines As retention and transport in aquifer sediments

20

using a multi-stage column experiment in which magnetite and other minerals formed from

21

added nitrate and ferrous iron (Fe). Sediments were collected from the Dover Municipal Landfill

22

Superfund site. Prior to nitrate-Fe(II) addition, As was not effectively retained within the

23

sediments in the column. The combination of nitrate (10 mM) and Fe(II) (4 mM), resulted in

24

mineral precipitation and rapidly decreased effluent As concentrations to
