Clay is a widespread natural mineral. The review considers physical and chemical
properties of clay minerals which are important in terms of geological high-level radioactive …

We investigated the adsorption of Tl+ onto purified Illite du Puy (IdP). Distribution coefficients
(K d) for trace Tl adsorption indicated a moderate pH-dependence from pH 2.5 to 11 …

Graphene oxides (GOs) have come under intense multidisciplinary study because of their
unique physicochemical properties and possible applications. The large amount of oxygen …

The disposal of high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories is a critical
environmental issue. The presence of bentonite colloids generated in the engineering …

Cotransport of heavy metals, Pb, Cu and Zn (multi-metal system), and transport of those
metals (single-metal system) were investigated by performing laboratory soil column …

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 …

The adsorption of divalent lead on the homoionic Na forms of illite (Na-IdP) and
montmorillonite (Na-SWy) was investigated by batch type adsorption experiments. Ion …

The influence of ionic strength up to 3 mol kg− 1 (background electrolytes NaCl or CaCl 2)
on U (VI) sorption onto montmorillonite was investigated as function of pH c in absence and …

Trivalent actinides and their lanthanide homologues are being scrutinized for their potential
health risk when ingested as a result of a range of industrial activities such as mining …

The removal of radionuclides on natural inorganic materials is a pursuing issue for many
nuclear-related processes requiring remediation of radioactive wastewater. However, the …
