Abstract
Sorption of Pu(VI) onto synthesized goethite under oxidizing and normal conditions was investigated, which revealed its pH dependence on different solid/liquid ratios. Pu speciation upon sorption on the solid phase was characterized via extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, while that in solution was assessed using ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and liquid–liquid extraction. The obtained results demonstrate differences in plutonium behavior in the studied systems. Pu(VI) remains hexavalent on the goethite surface and in solution under oxidizing conditions. While Pu(IV) is stabilized on the mineral and Pu(V) is found in solution under normal conditions. This study provides the thermodynamic descriptions of these reactions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Contaminant Hydrology is an international journal publishing scientific articles pertaining to the contamination of subsurface water resources. Emphasis is placed on investigations of the physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the behavior and fate of organic and inorganic contaminants in the unsaturated (vadose) and saturated (groundwater) zones, as well as at groundwater-surface water interfaces. The ecological impacts of contaminants transported both from and to aquifers are of interest. Articles on contamination of surface water only, without a link to groundwater, are out of the scope. Broad latitude is allowed in identifying contaminants of interest, and include legacy and emerging pollutants, nutrients, nanoparticles, pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa), microplastics, and various constituents associated with energy production (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide).
The journal''s scope embraces a wide range of topics including: experimental investigations of contaminant sorption, diffusion, transformation, volatilization and transport in the surface and subsurface; characterization of soil and aquifer properties only as they influence contaminant behavior; development and testing of mathematical models of contaminant behaviour; innovative techniques for restoration of contaminated sites; development of new tools or techniques for monitoring the extent of soil and groundwater contamination; transformation of contaminants in the hyporheic zone; effects of contaminants traversing the hyporheic zone on surface water and groundwater ecosystems; subsurface carbon sequestration and/or turnover; and migration of fluids associated with energy production into groundwater.
