This Review presents an overview of recent advances in aqueous actinide chemistry and
thermodynamics. It addresses actinides from thorium to curium and covers three main areas …

Synchrotron radiation (SR) based techniques have been utilized with increasing frequency
in the past decade to explore the brilliant and challenging sciences of actinide‐based …

The removal behavior of thorium (Th (IV)) has been investigated in multicomponent systems
containing silica (SiO2) as the model of inorganic particles because of its widespread …

The adsorption of Th (IV) on MX-80 bentonite as a function of pH, ionic strength, Th (IV)
concentration and temperature was studied by using batch technique. The results indicated …

The sorption of Th (IV) onto γ-Al2O3 in the absence and presence of soil humic acid
(HA)/fulvic acid (FA) was studied by batch technique. The influence of pH from 2 to 12, ionic …

Abstract Tetravalent actinides, An (IV), are usually assumed to be little mobile in near-neutral
environmental waters because of their low solubility. However, there are certain …

Isosaccharinic (ISA) and gluconic acids (GLU) are polyhydroxy carboxylic compounds
showing a high affinity to metal complexation. Both organic ligands are expected in the …

Th (IV) is considered herein as a chemical analogue of other actinides (IV). Effect of pH,
ionic strength and humic acid/fulvic acid concentrations on the sorption of thorium (IV) to MX …

Evidence is provided by photon correlation spectroscopy, ultrafiltration and
ultracentrifugation that uranium (IV) can form silicate-containing colloids of a size of⩽ 20nm …

The facile chemical precipitation method and subsequent thermal treatment were shown to
be suitable for preparation of crystalline ThO2 nanoparticles (NPs) in a wide range of …
