Sorption of Am-III onto orthophosphates of the rare-earth elements with different crystal structures

摘要

The effect of ionic strength, pH value, and particles morphology on the Am-III sorption onto LnPO(4) with different crystalline structures, i.e., monazite, xenotime, and rhabdophane, was established. The sorption capacity of the LnPO(4) was found to be independent of its crystal structure and equal to ca. 1 mu mol m(-2).
