Environmental context. Uranium-phosphate minerals have been identified as a long-term controlling phase that limit the mobility of uranium to groundwater in many contaminated subsurface environments. Complex, coupled processes confound the ability to isolate the rates attributed to individual processes. Results of this investigation provide the necessary information to refine current prediction on the release and long-term fate of uranium in subsurface environments. Abstract. The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a series of single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests to (1) quantify the effect of temperature (23–90°C) and pH (6–10) on meta-torbernite dissolution; (2) compare the dissolution of meta-torbernite to other autunite-group minerals; and (3) evaluate the effect of aqueous phosphate on the dissolution kinetics of meta-torbernite. Results presented here illustrate meta-torbernite dissolution rates increase by ~100× over the pH interval of 6 to 10, irrespective of temperature. The power law coefficient for meta-torbernite, η = 0.59 ± 0.07, is greater than that quantified for Ca-meta-autunite, η = 0.42 ± 0.12. This suggests the stability of meta-torbernite is greater than that of meta-autunite, which is reflected in the predicted stability constants. The rate equation for the dissolution of meta-torbernite as a function of aqueous phosphate concentration is log rdissol (mol m–2 s–1) = –4.7 × 10–13 + 4.1 × 10–10[PO43–].

ABSTRACTTo determine the initial rates and effects of silica in solution on the dissolution kinetics of smectite, short- and long-term batch experiments (0.5 hour to 30 days) were completed at three temperatures (T = 25, 50, and 75°C) using stock solutions pH adjusted by NaOH (pH = 12, 13, and 13.5) with varying initial silica concentrations (0, 30, 60, and 100 ppm). The following important characteristics were observed at pH = 12: (1) The concentrations of Al, Si, Mg, Fe, and Ti in solutions increase rapidly during the first ∼2 hours and reach steady state (equilibrium) within ∼5 days. (2) The concentration ratios of Al, Si, Fe, Mg, and Ti in solutions during the early (<2 hours) reaction phase differ significantly from those of smectite, indicating initial dissolution proceeds non-stoichiometrically; Al dissolves much faster than Si, Mg, Fe, and Ti. (3) Further dissolution of smectite proceeds nearly stoichiometrically, including Fe and Ti. (4) The high solubility of Ti in highly alkaline solutions may be due to the formation of aqueous complexes, such as TiO(OH)3− and TiO2(OH)22−, similar to aqueous silica species. (5) The initial rate of smectite dissolution increases with increasing pH, T, and initial silica content of solution. (6) The silica in solution acts as a promoter and a catalyst, rather than an inhibitor, of smectite dissolution in high-alkaline solutions. This role is easily recognizable when the solubility of smectite and amorphous silica are very high, i.e., at pH >∼9.
