Abstract
The sorption behavior is studied and the physicochemical neptunium species existing on the surface of goethite (α-FeOOH), maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), and hematite (α-Fe2O3) are determined. Solvent extraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are used to determine the neptunium surface species. The ion and elemental composition of the surface of the minerals and surface neptunyl NpO +2 complexes is determined using these data. Compounds containing neptunium(IV) or neptunium(VI) ions do not appear; rather, neptunyl (Np(V)O +2 group is complexed with surface hydroxide groups of α-FeOOH, γ-Fe2O3, and α-Fe2O3. Presumably, the oxygen atoms of iron oxides and water and/or carbonate (CO 2-3 ) or nitrate (NO -3 ) group lie in the equatorial plane of the neptunyl (NpO +2 ) group.
