“…Since the geochemical mobility of the elements strong ly depends on the environmental and hydro dynamic conditions, uranium and radium can be transported different distances before pre cipitating or co-precipitating (DAVY, 1974;KIRBY, 1974;STARIK, 1956;HARRISON and TAYLOR, 1966;DALL'AGLIO, 1971). In this con text the tendency of polonium isotopes to be strongly adsorbed on impurities or to form col loids in slightly acid or neutral solutions, even tually by hydrolyzing to hydroxides or by an interaction with an impurity in the solution (HAISSINGSKY and TUCK, 1964;KEPAK, 1974) should be mentioned.…”
