Phosphite and phosphate adsorption fractions on experimental iron oxides in natural banded iron formations

The data include measurements of adsorption experiments, where the adsorption fraction of phosphite and phosphate on experimentally-prepared ferric iron oxides were measured. The amounts of phosphate and phosphate as well as iron retained in solution were measured to calculate the fractions adsorbed relative to iron precipitated. In addition, total phorphorus and iron concentrations as well as phosphite and phosphate concentrations in leachates of natural banded iron formation samples from the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic. For the BIF samples, also XRD data are presented.
