transformation of sorbed apatite to chernikovite. Additionally, Thakur et al. (2005) recently reported the<br />

sequestration of uranium to hydroxyapatite at pH = 2 to 8 in 0.001 to 1.0 M NaClO 4 . The results indicate<br />

the sorption of uranium increases as a function of pH, reaching a maximum (100%) at pH 6 to 8, which<br />

occurs in
