Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear)Plutonium(IV) sorption onto quartz in carbonate solutions was systematically investigated under anaerobic conditions to analyze the sorption behaviors of Pu(IV) with a non-electrostatic model (NEM). Pu(IV) sorption data was obtained from batch sorption experiments as a function of pH and carbonate concentration. The Pu(IV) sorption onto quartz showed similar tendencies to Th(IV), which is considered to be chemically analogous as a tetravalent actinoid. The distribution coefficient, d, of Pu(IV) onto quartz showed inverse proportionality to the square of the total carbonate concentration under the investigated pH conditions of 8 to 11. The modeling study, however, revealed a Th(IV) sorption model, which is SOTh(OH) and SOThOH(CO), could not be applied to simulate the Pu(IV) sorption onto quartz. It was inferred that the electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged ligands limited the formation of SOM(OH) and SOMOH(CO) for Pu(IV) with smaller ionic radii than Th(IV). The Pu(IV) sorption model was developed as SOPu(OH) and SOPu(OH). In addition, data of Pu(IV) sorption onto muscovite was obtained in order to be compared with data for quartz.
