Although minor in abundance in Earth's crust (U, 2–4 ppm; Th, 10–15 ppm) and in seawater
(U, 0.003 ppm; Th, 0.0007 ppm), light actinides (Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are …

Reactions of the light actinide ions (Th to Cm) at the mineral− aqueous solution interface
have attracted much attention during recent years. Initially research was mainly driven by the …
