Title: Characterization of U(VI) Sorption-Desorption Processes and Model Upscaling

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/835467· OSTI ID:835467

The objectives of the overall collaborative EMSP effort (with which this project is associated) are to characterize sorption and desorption processes of U(VI) on pristine and contaminated Hanford sediments over a range of sediment facies and materials properties. The research is intended to provide new insights on the mechanisms of U(VI) retardation at Hanford, and to develop approaches by which laboratory-characterized geochemical models can be upscaled for defensible predictions of uranium transport in field.
