Accountancy for intrinsic colloids on thorium solubility: The fractionation of soluble species and the characterization of solubility limiting phase.

The extensive hydrolysis of tetravalent actinides leads to polynuclear formations through oxygen bridging facilitating the formation of colloids as end products. The pH, ionic strength has phenomenal effects on Thorium colloids formation. The quantitative estimation of colloids facilitates the fraction of soluble fraction into ionic, polymeric and colloidal forms of thorium.
