New best estimates for radionuclide solid-liquid distribution coefficients in soils. Part 3: miscellany of radionuclides (Cd, Co, Ni, Zn, I, Se, Sb, Pu, Am, and others).
New best estimates for the solid-liquid distribution coefficient (K(d)) for a set of radionuclides are proposed, based on a selective data search and subsequent calculation of geometric means. The K(d) best estimates are calculated for soils grouped according to the texture and organic matter content. For a limited number of radionuclides this is extended to consider soil cofactors affecting soil-radionuclide interaction, such as pH, organic matter content, and radionuclide chemical speciation. Correlations between main soil properties and radionuclide K(d) are examined to complete the information derived from the best estimates with a rough prediction of K(d) based on soil parameters. Although there are still gaps for many radionuclides, new data from recent studies improve the calculation of K(d) best estimates for a number of radionuclides, such as selenium, antimony, and iodine.
