This study examines the utilization of Fukushima weathered biotite(WB)as an alternative to conventional thermoelectric materials traditionally derived from rare and toxic substances. WB underwent milling, classification, and subsequent heat treatment via molten-salt treatment to produce crystals exhibiting conductivity akin to semiconductors within from 650C to 850
C range. Evaluation of WB and the derived crystal's electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient showcased their viability for high-temperature thermoelectric applications. Consequently, WB attained a dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of 0.015, signaling its potential as a thermoelectric material that surpasses 650
C.

The possibility of removal and controlling crystal formation from weathered biotite (WB) in clay minerals were investigated using molten salt electrochemistry (EC) in molten NaCl-CaCl under an electrochemical reductive reaction. Cyclic Voltammogram (CV) measurements were performed in the range of +0.5 V to -2.2 V. Several peaks were confirmed in the CV spectra. The peak at -1.4 V represents a reduction reaction of Fe in WB, so we conducted an experiment at -1.4 V for 2 h to reduce Iron (Fe). The Cs removal rate after EC treatment was determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis, and almost 100% Cs removal was confirmed. To understand the effect of the reductive reaction, we performed X-ray Adsorption Fine Structure (XAFS) analysis. Before EC treatment, the Fe in WB was present as a mixture of Fe
and Fe
. After EC treatment, the presence of Fe
was confirmed by XAFS analysis. Based on this finding, EC treatment is effective for reducing Fe in WB. This result indicated that Fe
O
formation was suppressed, and the reduction reaction was effective for controlling crystal formation.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:64.00(Chemistry, Analytical)A new technique for continuous dissolution of nuclear reaction products transported by a gas-jet system was developed for superheavy element (SHE) chemistry. In this technique, a hydrophobic membrane is utilized to separate an aqueous phase from the gas phase. With this technique, the dissolution efficiencies of short-lived radionuclides of Mo and
W were measured. Yields of more than 80% were observed for short-lived radionuclides at aqueous-phase flow rates of 0.1-0.4 mL/s. The gas flow-rate had no influence on the dissolution efficiency within the studied flow range of 1.0-2.0 L/min. These results show that this technique is applicable for on-line chemical studies of SHEs in the liquid phase.

We have investigated that initial oxidation processes of Si(110) surfaces at room temperature and thermal stability of the oxide layer via synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SR-PES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We found in the SR-PES experiments that metastable oxygen-condensed local structures were formed in the early stage of Si(110) oxidation at room temperature. After thermal annealing of 15 min at 573 K, highly-oxidized components of Si2p spectrum, Si and Si
, were enhanced whereas Si
was decreased. This is due to structural relaxation of the strained metastable oxidation structures on the surface and following change to stable highly-oxidized structures. Furthermore, the structural change from the metastable structure in the surface oxidized at room temperature to the stable cluster structure was directly observed via STM.

Initial oxidation process of Si(110)-162 clean surface has been investigated with synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. We found that the intensity of the alpha peak, one of the surface core level shifts in the Si 2p photoemission spectra, decreased in the just early stage of oxidation. And it was possible to relate this component with the rapid initial oxidation, which was unique to Si(110) surface. According to recent studies, this component was attributed to the 1st and the 2nd Si layer. We also found that there were significant amount of Si
component just after introducing the oxygen gas, which was contrast to the oxidation of Si(001) surface.

Oxygen-adsorbed Si(110)-162 surfaces at room temperature and their thermally-treated surfaces were analyzed by real-time photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation (SR-PES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Thermal stability of the oxygen-adsorbed Si(110) surfaces was clearified. By thermal annealing of Si(110) surface exposed to 10L oxygen gas at room temperature, photoemission peak positions of Si
and Si
components were shifted to higher energy side by 0.20eV and 0.12eV,respectively, and reached nearly to those of thermal oxide films. This behaviour is due to change of Si-O-Si bond angle and Si-O bond length. The STM observation for Si(110) surfaces revealed that the oxygen-adsorbed surface structure changed to the condensed oxide structure by thermal annealing. These SR-PES and STM results showed that the oxygen-adsorbed Si(110)-16
2 structure was metastable and changed to more stable condensed oxide structure by thermal annealing.

Tottori University and Japan Atomic Energy Agency started a joint study to develop an environmental remediation technique for agricultural soil. Nine plants were water-cultured and examined for screening. A few were selected as candidates for demonstrations in fields. Preselected plants were mainly halophytes. Easily cultivated and harvested plants without harmful effect on new agriculture were also considered. Seedings prepared were first grown for a certain term. Additive-free, Cs and
Sr groups, which are both stable isotopes, were then made. Stems, leaves and roots were harvested, in principle, two weeks after the addition, to measure K, Ca, Mg, Sr and Cs concentrations in them. It was concluded that New Zealand spinach and ice plant were most adequate for removing contaminants from surface soil. The two accumulate Cs and Sr mostly in the shoots, are prostrate, and spread the roots shallowly. For valid application, growth-phase dependences of absorption and distribution, growth property and root distribution should be elucidated. Finally, the application study plan was developed based on screening test results.

Towards electrolytic reduction of Sg, batch-wise electrolytic reduction of carrier-free Mo and
W radiotracers was studied using a flow electrolytic column (FEC). The electrolyzed samples from a FEC were chemically analyzed by solvent extraction with TOA and HDEHP to separate and identify reduced species from the stable Mo(VI) and W(VI) ones based on their different extraction behavior.
Mo and
W were applied as radiotracers. We also performed cyclic voltammetry and UV/Vis absorption spectrometry of macro amounts of Mo and W in acidic solutions to obtain information on redox reactions of these elements under given conditions. In the conference, the present status of the preparatory reduction experiments with Mo and W will be presented.

Due to short half-lives less than 10 s and extremely low production rates, transactinide elements heavier than seaborgium (Sg) are produced on an atom per hour scale. Therefore, a continuous rapid chemistry assembly is required to study aqueous-phase chemistry of these heaviest elements. In the present study, we started developments of a continuous chemistry assembly. Our first attempt was made in on-line experiments with Mo and W, lighter homologs of Sg, to optimize a chemistry assembly consisting of a newly developed membrane degasser as an interface between gas-jet and aqueous phase, a flow electrolytic column apparatus utilized to control oxidation states of Mo and W ions, and the continuous liquid-liquid extraction apparatus of SISAK for separation. In the conference, present status of the developments will be presented.

We have investigated the initial oxidation process on an Si(110)-162 surface by real time synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SR-XPS). As a result, a rapid initial oxidation regime was found to exist on this surface, which is not present on other crystal orientations. Analyses of the O1s spectra suggest insertion of oxygen atoms at the Si-Si bonds as the predominant process during initial oxidation. The rapid initial oxidation is accompanied by decrease of the Si2p subpeak that is related to Si(110)-16
2 reconstruction, indicating the preferential oxidation at the pentagon pair.
