Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:75.83(Nuclear Science & Technology)The influences of pH and the concentrations of Eu and NaNO
on the sorption of Eu
to Na-montmorillonite were investigated through batch sorption measurements and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). The pH had a little effect on the distribution coefficients (Kd) in 0.01 M NaNO
, whereas the Kd strongly depended on pH at 1 M NaNO
. A cation exchange model combined with a one-site non-electrostatic surface complexation model was successfully applied to the measured Kd. The TRLFS spectra of Eu
sorbed were processed by parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), which corresponded to one outer-sphere (factor A) and two inner-sphere (factor B and C) complexes. It turned out that factors A and B correspond to Eu
sorbed by ion exchange sites and inner-sphere complexation with hydroxyl groups of the edge faces, respectively. Factor C became dominant at relatively high pH and ionic strength and likely correspond to the precipitation of Eu(OH)
on the surface.

For the nuclear waste management of TRU waste, it is necessary to assess the impact of nitrate salts contained in the waste. In the present study, the sorption behavior of Ni and Pd on the pumice tuff was investigated in the presence of NH(aq)/NH
. Under different NH
(aq)/NH
concentration, pH and ionic strength conditions, distribution coefficient (
) of Ni and Pd on the pumice tuff was determined by batch experiment. For Ni system, the
values showed no significant dependence on the initial NH
concentration in neutral pH region, agrees with the prediction from thermodynamic data. For Pd system, the
values decreased with an increase of [NH
]ini, suggesting the formation of stable ammine complex (Pd(NH
)
(
: 1 - 4)). The obtained
values for Ni and Pd were analyzed using the surface complexation model. By taking complexes predicted by thermodynamic data into account, the sorption behavior of Ni and Pd in the presence of NH
(aq)/NH
were well explained.

In order to investigate the sorption mechanisms of trivalent europium (Eu(III)) complexes at the illite surface, the sorption experiment of Eu(III) was performed in 0.1 M NaCl in the absence and presence of dissolved carbonate and in 0.1 M NaHCO solution by batch method. Kd value of Eu(III) in the absence of carbonate increased with increasing pH. On the other hand, in the cases where carbonate was present, there was its effect on Eu sorption. In the presence of dissolved carbonate, Kd values didn't increased in a higher pH region. In 0.1 M NaHCO
solution, Kd values decreased with increasing pH at pH
8, caused by the change of carbonate complexation of Eu(III). In the symposium, we will discuss a future subjects including mechanistic modeling and spectroscopic evaluation of surface chemical species based on a TRLFS experiment.

The influence of pH, ionic strength, and the concentrations of Eu and nitrate salts on the sorption of Eu
on Na-montmorillonite was investigated by batch sorption measurements. The distribution coefficient (Kd) indicated that the cation exchange reaction is significant in pH 4-7 at low ionic strength, and the formation of surface complexation is related to the pH dependence of Kd at high ionic strength. The Eu
surface species were investigated using time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC). The PARAFAC modeling indicated two surface species, the outer-sphere (factor A) and inner-sphere (factor B) Eu
complexes. Factor B was dominant at high pH and ionic strength, which was determined to be a Eu colloidal species formed at high Eu
concentrations. A cation exchange model combined with a one-site non-electrostatic surface complexation model was applied to the measured Kd data, using the results of the TRLFS-PARAFAC analyses.
