EnglishIron oxides are environmental indicators and influence on physical and chemical behavior of soils. This research aimed to identify and characterize pedogenic iron oxides in soils of the Acre state, Brazil. The soils developed from sedimentary rocks of the Solimoes Formation. Twenty one samples of subsurface horizons were collected from ten soil profiles. Soil samples were analyzed by x-ray diffractometry associated to selective chemical dissolutions. Fe contents in the clay minerals (Fes), in the pedogenic iron oxides (Fed) and in the poorly crystalline oxides (Feo) were determined. The Al3+-substitution and the mean crystal diameter of goethite and hematite were estimated. Soils presented low contents of Fes and Fed. The Fed/Fes ratio indicated soils in the intermediate stage of weathering, with dominance of goethite, hematite and maghemite. This condition of weathering was confirmed by the higher frequency of goethites and hematite with intermediate Al3+-substitution. Goethites have isodimensional forms and hematite have flat plaques forms. Key words: mineralogy; x ray diffraction; hematite; goethite. portuguesOs oxidos de ferro sao indicadores ambientais e influenciam o comportamento fisico e quimico dos solos. Este trabalho objetivou identificar e caracterizar os oxidos de ferro pedogenicos de solos do estado do Acre, desenvolvidos de rochas sedimentares da Formacao Solimoes. Vinte e uma amostras de horizontes subsuperficiais de dez perfis de solos foram analisadas por difratometria de raios x associada a dissolucoes quimicas seletivas. Os teores de Fe total (Fes), dos oxidos de Fe pedogenicos (Fed) e de baixa cristalinidade (Feo) foram determinados; e a Al3+-substituicao e o diâmetro medio cristalino da goethita e da hematita foram estimados. Em geral, os solos apresentaram baixos teores de Fes e de Fed. A relacao Fed/Fes indicou solos em estagio de intemperizacao intermediario, com dominância dos oxidos de Fe goethita, hematita e maghemita. Essa condicao de intemperismo foi reforcada pela maior frequencia de goethitas e hematitas com intermediaria Al3+-substituicao. As goethitas possuem formas isodimencionais e as hematitas ocorrem como placas achatadas. Palavras-chave: mineralogia; difratometria de raios x; hematita; goethita.
