Der Einfluss endlagerrelevanter Elektrolyte auf die Wechselwirkung dreiwertiger Lanthanide und Actinide mit Calcit

Calcite, a naturally occurring and very abundant mineral, is considered a potential retentive geochemical barrier regarding nuclear waste disposal. In this work, the reactivity of calcite towards trivalent Ln and An has been determined by spectroscopic, microscopic and X-ray scattering techniques. This, in connection with the use of luminescent probes Eu(III) and Cm(III), allowed for the understanding of electrolyte influences on the retention potential of calcite.
