Abstract

Batch sorption experiments have been used to assess the sorption behaviour of four radionuclides, important in the context of low-level waste disposal, on a glacial substrate. Data for sorption of ²³⁸U, ²³⁷Np, ¹³⁴Cs and ⁸⁵Sr are compared and agree well with independent studies. A series of well-established kinetic models have been used to describe the individual uptake mechanisms and rate parameters reported. Sorption occurs via both equilibrium and kinetically controlled pathways, with neptunium sorption being under kinetic control to the greatest extent.
