Formation of UO2(OH)HA(I) Studied by TRLFS

The complexation of U(VI) with purified Aldrich humic acid was studied at pH 7 under nitrogen atmosphere. Using two independent laser-induced spectroscopic methods, the formation of the ternary uranium(VI) mono hydroxo humate complex (UO2(OH)HA(I)) was studied and complexation data were derived. The results of this study are discussed in comparison to literature data.
