Abstract
The solubility of ThO2· x H2O(am) is studied at I=0.1−4.0 M (NaHCO3-Na2CO3-NaCl) and 22 °C. Several sets of closed system experiments are performed at total carbonate concentrations of C

2-]=0.02 and 0.1 M in the range pHc = 8−11. In our recent study at I=0.5 M, the simultaneous evaluation of solubility data at widely varied pHc and carbonate concentrations has shown that Th(OH)(CO3)4
5-, Th(OH)2(CO3)2
2- and Th(OH)4(CO3)2- are the most important ternary complexes. The present results at I=0.1−4.0 M are used to describe the ionic strength dependence of the equilibrium constants logK
