Abstract
It is well known that the solid/liquid partition coefficient (K D) of many (complex forming) radionuclides is dependent on the presence of liquid- phase complexing agents which may either have been added intentionally or dissolved from the sediment [1–5]. These effects, which result from the competition of solute complexing agents with solid phase sorption sites or functional groups, are a direct indication of radionuclide organic matter (OM) associations in the extract. They are however not directly related to radionuclide speciation in the sediment or soil.
