Trace elements are actively cycled in seawater, are essential components for marine life,
and are transported to the seafloor where they can become enriched in marine sediments …

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 …

The zetapotential of calcite in contact with aqueous solutions of varying composition is
determined for pre-equilibrated suspensions by means of electrophoretic measurements …

Magnetic nano-based particles of diethylenetriamine-functionalized chitosan have been
synthesized before being characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD …

Understanding sorption and desorption processes is essential to predicting the mobility of
radionuclides in the environment. We investigate adsorption/desorption of cesium in both …

The long-term safe disposal of radioactive waste corresponds to a challenging responsibility
of present societies. Within deep geological waste disposal concepts, host rocks correspond …

The hydroxyapatite was successfully synthesized, characterized, and used as an alternative
low‐cost adsorbent material to study the adsorption behavior of La (III) and Eu (III) ions from …

The influence of montmorillonite colloids on the mobility of 238 Pu, 233 U and 137 Cs
through a chalk fracture was investigated to assess the transport potential for radioactive …

Minor actinides are major contributors to the long-term radiotoxicity of nuclear fuels and
other radioactive wastes. In this context, understanding their interactions with natural …

Plutonium (Pu) adsorption to and desorption from mineral phases plays a key role in
controlling the environmental mobility of Pu. Here we assess whether the adsorption …
