Speciation of uranium in artificially weathered mica by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Yomogida, Takumi   ; Higashi, Kotaro*; Kawamura, Naomi*; Kitatsuji, Yoshihiro  ; Takahashi, Yoshio*

Biotite, a layered silicate mineral, is known to be a host phase for uranium(U) in U mines. There are still many unclear factors regarding its U accumulation mechanism. In this study, U adsorption experiment was conducted on artificially weathered biotite by removing interlayer potassium. The results showed that the ratio of reduced species of U increased with increasing the K loss ratio in interlayer, indicating that U reduction occurred at cleavages developed by weathering of the biotite.
