This model is specific for the following uranium surface complexation reactions:
The detailed description of this model is presented in Liu et al.( 2008).
where m indicates the m-th sorption site.
The rate constants αm are assumed to follow a lognormal probability distribution. The probability of a site that has a correspondent rate constant of α is defined as:
The reaction rate constant for a site m, αm, is determined from the following equation:

kinetic rate of reaction, mol/s m3 aqu. | |

This model is identical in form to the lognormal model, but considers sorption-desorption independently from mobile and immobile domains.
