Investigation of the interactions of uranium and plutonium with Boom clay organic matter

The solubility of uranium (IV) oxide, UO2, was investigated. Uranium (VI) was reduced to uranium (IV) using sodium dithionite and iron granules at high pH (NaOH). A solubility enhancement of UO2 in the presence of Boom clay humic acid (BCHA) was found to be approximately one order of magnitude, wher...
