Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：50.46(Nuclear Science & Technology)For effective recovery of radioactive elements by adsorbents using polymer-immobilized silica (SiO
-P) supports, the microstructure of SiO-P particles impregnated with CMPO as extractants and their change with the crosslinking degree of polymer (CDP) were investigated using STXM and EXAFS analyses; further, their relation with adsorption/elution behavior was discussed. The adsorption/elution tests using adsorbents with a different CDP demonstrated that a higher CDP inhibited the elution of adsorbed metal ions from the adsorbent. The results of STXM and EXAFS analyses suggested that adsorption by CMPO proceeds through the entire area in the adsorbent and the local structure around adsorbed metal ions is similar irrespective of the CDP. Conversely, STXM analyses implied the capture of eluents such as HO by polymers with high CDP, which suppresses the prompt elution of adsorbed metal ions from the adsorbent.

The local structure of waste elements in simulated waste glasses including V was estimated by using synchrotron XAFS measurement in this study. The results are as follows. (1) V has a high possibility which exists in the glass phase in the case of frit, and V can regard both samples as stable 4 coordination structure. (2) Zn, Ce, Nd, Zr, and Mo exist in the glass phase, and the difference is admitted by the percentage of Ce(III) and Ce(IV) by the composition. (3) Ru is separated from the glass phase as RuO crystalline, both of metal and oxide exist in Rh, and Pd is separated out as metal. (4) It was confirmed that the regularity of the local structure of Zr and Mo in the molten glasses retreats as a result of the XAFS measurement at high temperature. (5) The XAFS measurement of molten glasses were performed at 1200
C, so it would be possible to acquire excellent data by improving the shapes of the sample cell.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：31.54(Nuclear Science & Technology)X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements on thorium fluoride in molten lithium-calcium fluoride mixtures and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of zirconium and yttrium fluoride in molten lithium-calcium fluoride mixtures have been carried out. In the molten state, coordination number of thorium and inter ionic distances between thorium and fluorine in the first neighbor are nearly constant in all mixtures. However the fluctuation factors (Debye-Waller factor and C
cumulant) increase until 
CaF
= 0.17 and decrease by addition of excess CaF. It means that the local structure around Th
is disordered until CaF=0.17 and stabilized over CaF = 0.17. The variation of fluctuation factors is related to the number density of F
in ThF
mixtures and the stability of local structure around Th increases with decreasing the number density of F in ThF mixtures. This tendency is common to those in the ZrF and YF mixtures.

Times Cited Count：44 Percentile：22(Chemistry, Physical)The structure of molten AF-ZrF system (A=Li, Na, K) is studied using EXAFS spectroscopy with molecular dynamics simulations. From the Zr solvation shell point of view, we observe a progressive stabilization of the 7-fold and then of the 6-fold coordinated complexes when passing from Li to Na and K as a "counterion". Particular attention is given to the systems consisting of 35 mol% of ZrF. At that particular composition, the ZrF
complex predominates largely whatever the nature of the alkali. The calculated vibrational properties of this complex are in excellent agreement with a previous Raman spectroscopy experiment on molten KF-ZrF. The most important differences are observed for the lifetime of these octahedral units. On a larger scale, an intense first sharp diffraction peak is observed for the Zr-Zr partial structure factor, which can be attributed to the correlations between the octahedral units formed.

Zr high-temperature NMR experiments give an average coordination of 7 for the zirconium ion on all domains of composition. MD simulations, in agreement with EXAFS experiments at the K-edge of Zr, provide evidence for the coexistence of three different Zr-based complexes, [ZrF], [ZrF
]
, and [ZrF
]
, in the melt.

Mixing behavior of rare earth trichlorides (RECl) with LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was studied by using an X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques. We had confirmed that the local structure of pure RECl melt changed corresponding to size of RE
ion. On the other hand, it can be concluded that many mixtures show stabilized 6-fold coordination (RECl) structure in diluted compositions. It suggests that molten RECl has a simular local structure in diluted composition.

The high energy XAFS using K-absorption edge is very effective to obtain information on behavior of small amount of rare earth elements in molten chlorides. In the present study, we performed the XAFS measurement to obtain the local structure change for molten TbCl and the mixture of 40% TbCl with LiCl-KCl eutectic, 15% TbCl with LiCl-KCl eutectic and 1.5% TbCl with LiCl-KCl eutectic. We found that as the concentration of TbCl is lower, the coordination number decrease a little and become near 6 but the nearest Tb-Cl distance is almost same. In addition, we found that Debye-Waller factor become very small. We also performed molecular dynamics simulation to obtain the information of structure change. This simulation showed the intense structure change occurs at vicinity of 25% TbCl with LiCl-KCl eutectic. Its simulation result accorded with this XAFS experiment result.

To investigate the local structure of molten TbF - LiF (x[TbF = 0.2), X-ray absorption fine structure technique (XAFS) was applied using by BL11XU in SPring-8. By several analyses, e.g. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, it had been confirmed that TbF
and boron nitride reacted at less than 1073 K even under helium gas flow environment, thus, we focused on the spectrum obtained below 1073 K. According to the curve fitting, the interionic distance obtained from the data of heating between 933 K and 1013 K was shorter than solid state. It would be surely molten state of TbF - LiF (x[TbF] = 0.2), since the value of distance obtained, i.e. 2.26
corresponds to the sum of ionic radii of Tb and F.

For effective recovery of radioactive elements by adsorbents using polymer-immobilized silica (SiO-P) supports, the microstructure of SiO-P particles impregnated with CMPO as extractants and their change with the crosslinking degree of polymer (CDP) were investigated using STXM analysis. The results of STXM analysis suggested that the distributions of polymer are spread and impurity molecules such as HO are captured by the increase of CDP.
