Function of Colloidal and Nanoparticles in the Sorption of Radionuclides

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Behavior of Radionuclides in the Environment I

Abstract

As a result of the human activities, radionuclides are released to the environment, and its speciation depends on the source and release scenario and also on the geochemical conditions. The colloidal and nanoparticles may significantly affect radionuclide migration. The recent trends in the description of radionuclide (in particular with redox capability) interaction with environmental colloids such as iron oxides, manganese oxides, titanium oxides, clay minerals, natural organic maters, and microbiology are discussed here.
