Neptunium and Uranium Interactions with Environmentally and Industrially Relevant Iron Minerals

Neptunium (<sup>237</sup>Np) is an important radionuclide in the nuclear fuel cycle in areas such as effluent treatment and the geodisposal of radioactive waste. Due to neptunium’s redox sensitivity and its tendency to adsorb strongly to mineral phases, such as iron oxides/sulfides, the...
