Abstract: The environmental fate of radiotoxic actinides may be controlled by their interactions with feldspars. Here, the sorption of trivalent minor actinides (Am, Cm) and their rare earth analog Eu onto synthetic pure Ca-feldspar (anorthite) and natural plagioclases of different Ca contents is investigated, covering ranges of [M3+] (52 nM–10 μM), solid-liquid ratios (1–3 g/L), pH (3–9), and ionic strengths (0.01–0.1 M NaCl) under both ambient and CO 2 -free conditions. As a first step to understand the uptake behavior of the heavy metals, the hitherto unknown surface charge and (de-)protonation reaction of Ca-feldspars is characterized. The zeta potential shows an unusual increase and charge reversal between pH 4 and 7 , which becomes more pronounced with increasing amounts of Ca in the crystal lattice and is likely connected to adsorption and/or surface precipitation of dissolved Al3+. Streaming potential measurements yield (de)protonation constants for anorthite surface sites of log K- = −6.94 ± 0.38 and log K+ = +6.84 ± 0.38. Batch sorption data shows strong immobilization of M3+ by plagioclases at mildly acidic and basic pH. Time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy using Cm indicates the formation of an inner-sphere complex and its two hydrolyzed forms. The complex reactivity of dissolved Al3+ at the plagioclase-water interface severely complicated the development of a surface complexation model, emphasizing the need for additional research in this area. Our study highlights the importance of molecular-level studies to understand surface reactions and uncover unknown processes, which may have significant impact on the transport of (radiotoxic) contaminants in the geosphere.
