Stability constants of U(VI) and U(IV)-humic acid complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conditional stability constants have been determined for U(IV) and U(VI) Boom Clay humic acid (BCHA) and Aldrich humic acid (AHA) complexes, under anaerobic and carbonate free conditions. The constants are needed for nuclear waste repository performance assessment purposes. The U(IV) constants were obtained by developing an approach based on the solubility product of amorphous U(OH)4. The U(VI) constants were obtained by applying the Schubert ion exchange approach.

Natural humics impact uranium bioreduction and oxidation.
Although humic substances occur ubiquitously in soil and groundwater, their effect on the biological reduction of uranium(VI) and subsequent reoxidation of U(IV) is poorly understood. This study investigated the role of humics in enhancing the bioreduction of U(VI) in laboratory kinetic studies, in field push-pull tests, and in the presence or absence of metal ions such as Ca2+ and Ni2+, which ...
متن کاملEffects of aqueous complexation on reductive precipitation of uranium by Shewanella putrefaciens
We have examined the effects of aqueous complexation on rates of dissimilatory reductive precipitation of uranium by Shewanella putrefaciens. Uranium~VI! was supplied as sole terminal electron acceptor to Shewanella putrefaciens ~strain 200R! in defined laboratory media under strictly anaerobic conditions. Media were amended with different multidentate organic acids, and experiments were perfor...
متن کاملSoil Humic Acid Decreases Biological Uranium(VI) Reduction by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32
Biological reduction of uranium(VI) by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 was investigated in the presence of soil humic acid (SHA). Experiments were performed under resting cell conditions with uranyl acetate as the electron acceptor and sodium lactate as the electron donor in a NaHCO3 or PIPES/NaHCO3 buffer. SHA significantly decreased the final extent of U(VI) bioreduction (100% uranium bioreduced...
متن کاملInteractions between Silicon Oxide Nanoparticles (SONPs) and U(VI) Contaminations: Effects of pH, Temperature and Natural Organic Matters
The interactions between contaminations of U(VI) and silicon oxide nanoparticles (SONPs), both of which have been widely used in modern industry and induced serious environmental challenge due to their high mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity, were studied under different environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, and natural organic matters (NOMs) by using both batch and spectroscop...
متن کاملLaser-induced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy for the Chemical Speciation of Pu(VI)
Speciation of actinide in natural aquatic system is of great interest for the safety assessment of a nuclear waste disposal in deep geological system [1]. Actinide ions form complicate complexes with various ligands such as OH, CO3, and humic substances in groundwater. These complexes can enhance or reduce the migration of actinide elements. The direct speciation of these complexes in groundwat...
