Abstract

Sorption behavior of U(VI) is studied in model systems containing montmorillonite with various concentrations of humic acids on its surface and complexants (disodium salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic and nitrilotriacetic acids). Humic acids deposited onto the surface of montmorillonite enhance the U(VI) sorption at pH <7.0. The effect of complexants on the U(VI) sorption is rather intricate because of the possibility of formation of some surface uranium complexes, whose nature depends on the nature and concentration of the complexant in solution, pH, and humic acid concentration on the surface of montmorillonite.
