Figure I.1. Linear regression between thorium K d values<br />

and pH for the pH range from 4 to 8. [The<br />

single K d value at pH 10 is identified by the<br />

filled circle.]<br />

Table I.3. Calculated aqueous speciation of thorium as a function of pH. [The<br />

composition of the water and details of the aqueous speciation calculations are<br />

presented in Chapter 5. Total thorium concentration used in the aqueous<br />

speciation calculations is 1 ng/ml.]<br />
