Radium desorption behavior of riverine suspended sediment: Theoretical and experimental

A multidisciplinary approach to characterizing coastal alluvial aquifers to improve understanding of seawater intrusion and submarine groundwater discharge

“…S1B), and high hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity. Larger grain size reduces the surface area available for chemical reactions and thus a reduction of 224 Ra desorption to the liquid phase (Luo et al, 2019;Li et al, 2021). Alternatively, we attributed Ra enrichment in lower saline areas to less transmissive zones that are rich in parent radionuclides and may provide a suitable environment for 224 Ra accumulation in water via parent production and alpha recoil.…”
