Radiocesium in sewage sludge ash

Kozai, Naofumi   ; Suzuki, Shinichi; Sakamoto, Fuminori  ; Onuki, Toshihiko

A fraction of radiocesium (Cs) released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident was accumulated in sewage sludge ash (SSA). It was previously reported that more than 80% of Cs is fixed in iron oxides of SSA and approximately 10% of Cs is tightly fixed in unidentified amorphous silicon oxides of SSA. This study reports that silicon in paper flowing in sewage and that in organic flocculant added to sewage at sewage treatment plants are origin of the silicon in SSA. Next, to contribute to developing measures for SSA disposal, we prepared geopolymer and cement solidified bodies containing SSA and evaluated their characteristics. We report a high barrier performance of geopolymer solidified bodies.
