摘　　要：Various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface-area measurements, thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy, were used to study the mineral structure and surface characteristics of high-iron hydrargillite. Gibbsite, goethite, and hematite were found to be the main mineral components of hydrargillite, whereas the goethite and hematite were closely clad to the surface of the multilayer gibbsite crystals. Compared with the synthetic gibbsite, the hydrargillite contained more structural micropores generated by the mineral evolution during the mineralization process. The gibbsite in hydrargillite contained less crystal water compared with the synthetic gibbsite, and it was a typical polymorphic structure. The isomorphous substitution of Al and Fe was observed in goethite. The dissolution-controlling step of hydrargillite was the ionic diffusion speed because of the goethite and hematite that closely covered and encapsulated the gibbsite crystals.Various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface-area measurements, thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy, were used to study the mineral structure and surface characteristics of high-iron hydrargillite.
