摘要：

An original development based on a surface complexation model allows Kd calculations as a function of the redox potential. Neptunium is studied because its redox chemistry is complex due to the presence of various valence states ranging from Np(III) to Np(VII). Its sorption on SiO2, FeOOH and Al2O3 is calculated as a function of the redox potential for different pHs using a simplified surface complexation model. Calculated K-d values are consistent with the experimental K-d data from the literature for Np or analogous species (Am(III), Th(IV), U(VI)) at pH8. The neptunium retention in aquifers may then be evaluated on the basis of their porosity properties.
