Short summary
The paper presents a robust tool to estimate the thermodynamic surface complexation parameter for the sorption of uranium(VI) onto quartz surfaces. The optimization package hydroPSO R is coupled with the geochemical speciation code PHREEQC. hydroPSO used the m parameter estimation tool for geochemical modeling with PHREEQC. Coupled hydroPSO with PHREEQC proved to be a robust tool to estimate surface complexation constants for uranium(VI) species on quartz.
