Reactive Transport of the Uranyl Ion in Soils, Sediments, and Groundwater Systems

Abstract

Uranium is a ubiquitous trace component in rocks ranging from 1.2 to 1.3 µg g-1 in sedimentary rocks, 2.2 to 15 µg g-1 in granites, and 20 to 120 µg g-1 in phosphates (Langmuir, 1997; Plant et al., 1999). Uranium (U) is released to natural waters in dilute concentrations (generally
