The sorption of thorium, protacintium and plutonium onto silica particles in the presence of a colloidal third phase

The fate of actinides in the environment is of interest for a several reasons. In oceanic surface waters actinides such as thorium and protactinium, and in particular their ratio, are used as tracers of processes such as boundary scavenging and paleocirculation. Thorium is also used to estimate resi...
