In contaminated soils, radionuclides such as uranium and/or thorium may be associated with different chemical species on soil surfaces or inside soil grains with consequent differences in leachability and mobility. Chemical species in contacting solutions can react with soil contaminants by dissolution, ion exchange, or complexation to release contaminants from the soil to the solution. It is important to understand the effect of chemical species in solution for investigating the distribution of uranium and thorium between the soil and the solution under desorption conditions. In this work, the effects of the solution pH and the complexing reagents on the desorption of uranium and thorium under saturated equilibrium conditions were investigated.
