“…This is of special interest in case of long-lived radionuclides [3,147,[181][182][183]] the transport of which may be appreciably retarded or even stopped, if the interaction is strong, particularly if the radionuclides are incorporated into the solids. Therefore, sorption of radionuclides on solids has been investigated extensively for materials in the neighbourhood of planned high-active waste repositories [3,184], Sorption of radionuclides on solids may be due to various kinds of interactions [185][186][187]: Fixation by predominantly ionic bonds (ion exchange), by mainly covalent bonds (chemisorption), by weak (van der Waals) bonds (physisorption); sorption on the outer surface of the solids (substantial quantity: outer surface area), sorption on inner surfaces (substantial quantity: inner surface area), sorption by ion exchange at positions within the solids, sorption by precipitation, coprecipitation, or incorporation (one directional processes). In all cases the surface and exchange properties of the solids, in particular the quality of the sorption and exchange sites, are important, as well as the knowledge of the species of the radionuclides in the aqueous system [137,185,[188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197], in order to understand the migration behaviour of radionuclides.…”
