Abstract
Adsorption onto solid particles plays an important role in the transport of radioactive contaminants in the hydrosphere. Sorption is usually described with a distribution coefficient: a ratio of radioactivity fixed on solid phase and dissolved in water in equilibrium. In this study, we developed, optimised and verified a method that uses a series of batch experiments for determination of the distribution coefficients of radionuclides in sediment–water and suspended solids–water systems. This can be further used for describing radionuclide behaviour in river courses. This work was funded by the Czech Ministry of Interior, as a part of Safety research project.
