Interaction of radionuclides with natural and manmade materials using XAFS technique

摘要

The X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS)technology has exhibited a very unique application in the study of sorption mechanism,chemical species and microstructures of radionuclides at the natural solid-water interfaces.In this review,the interaction mechanism of radionuclides with clay minerals and nanomaterials under different environmental conditions are summarized from the XAFS spectroscopy analysis.The coordination number and the bond distances of radionuclides,the oxidation-reduction reactions,the influence of humic substances and microorganisms on the species and structures of radionuclides at molecule level are reviewed and compared.This review is helpful to understand the interactions of radionuclides with oxides,natural clay minerals and nanomaterials,which is also crucial to evaluate the physicochemical behaviors of radionuclides in the natural environment.
