Sorption Behaviour of Radium on Sandy and Clayey Sediments of the Upper Saxon Elbe River Valley


Sorption Behaviour of Radium on Sandy and Clayey Sediments of the Upper Saxon Elbe River Valley

Baraniak, L.; Thieme, M.; Bernhard, G.; Nitsche, H.

With the background of uranium mine restoration the adsorption of radium on different kinds of sandstone, claystone and lime marl was studied in dependence on such parameters as water composition, acidity, phase contact time and the concentration of radium, barium and sulfate by static batch experiments at the mine temperature of 14°C.
