Abstract

[Extract] We have read with interest the discussion¹⁻² on recent work by Peak and Regier³ on the interpretation of the Fe L-edge spectrum of ferrihydrite. Having extensively studied Fe L-edge XAS spectra,⁴⁻⁸ we felt it important to point out some of the limitations in applying linear combinations to these types of spectra. In agreement with Manceau² we do not believe that assignment of the presence or absence of tetrahedral sites in ferrihydrite is possible using linear combinations of L-edge spectra alone. However, our reasons for this conclusion are more general.
