The thermodynamic and kinetic properties of a synthetic uranophane (Ca(H 3 O) 2 (UO 2 ) 2 (SiO 4 ) 2 · 3H 2 O) have been determined from dissolution experiments in test solutions of different bicarbonate concentrations at 25°C. The experiments were performed using batch and continuously stirred tank flow-through reactors. From the experimental data obtained with the batch reactor the solubility constant for the reaction: Ca(H 3 O) 2 (UO 2 ) 2 (SiO 4 ) 2 · 3H 2 O + 6H 3 O + Ca +2 + 2UO 2 +2 + 2H 4 SiO 4 + 11H 2 O was determined to be log K s 0 0 = 11.7 ± 0.6 and the rate equation for the dissolution process is log r dissol (mol s -1 m -2 ) = -8.3 (±0.6) + 0.7 (±0.3) log [HCO 3 - ]. By using the continuously stirred tank flow-through reactor we obtained a rate equation in reasonably good agreement with that obtained in the batch reactor: log r dissol (mol s -1 m -2 ) = -9.2 (±0.4) + 0.7 (±0.2) log [HCO 3 - ].
