After the Fukushima Daiichi-Nuclear Power Plant accident, environmental recovery was a major issue because a considerable amount of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash was highly contaminated with radioactive cesium. In this study, MSWI fly ash was sampled in Fukushima Prefecture, and the physicochemical properties of radioactive cesium in MSWI fly ash were evaluated by particle size classification and the Japanese leaching test No. 13 (JLT-13). The results obtained from the classification of fly ash indicated that the activity concentration of radioactive cesium and the content of the coexisting matter (i.e., chloride, potassium, and sylvite) temporarily change in response to the particle size of fly ash. X-ray diffraction results indicated that water-soluble radioactive cesium exists as CsCl because of the cooling process and that insoluble cesium is bound to the inner sphere of amorphous matter.

The combustible and flame-retardant radioactive wastes generated as a result of the research activities in Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) are incinerating to reduce their volume. The incinerated ash is planned to be solidified using cement for disposal. Since the properties of ashes generated in each institute of JAEA are varied with the type of incinerator and the wastes to be incinerated, it is necessary to do fundamental solidification tests in each institute to decide operating conditions of the planning cement solidification facility. It is important to standardize evaluating methods of cement and solidified waste because some characters depend on measuring method. This user's guide have been prepared how to decide the cement solidifying conditions of ash to design the cement solidification facility in JAEA. Requirements on the regulations of solidified radioactive waste have been examined and seven technical criteria, e.g. compressive strength, fluidity, have been selected as characters to be evaluated. Some empirical notes about selection of cement, admixtures, procedure on making a test piece, evaluation of expanding, compressive strength, solubility have been described. The strategy of tests and tips for finding optimized solidification condition has been summarized. Finally the example of optimized conditions satisfied the requirements and some problems to be solved have been described.

Radioactive fallout cesium in sewage sludge ash produced after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident

The radioactive fallout cesium ($$^{137}$$Cs) in the sewage sludge ashes (SSAs) produced after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident was tested. Two of tested five SSAs contained $$^{137}$$Cs above the radioactivity criterion for controlled landfill disposal in Japan. The minerals of SSAs are divided into two groups: an HCl-soluble phase mainly composed of phosphates and metal oxides; and silicates. The majority of $$^{137}$$Cs was contained in the HCl-soluble phase. Among the HCl-soluble subphases, Fe-bearing phases, probably iron oxides, were mainly responsible for $$^{137}$$Cs retention. Pre-pulverizing SSAs and heating them in an aqueous HCl was the most effective method of dissolving the HCl-soluble phase. The radioactivity concentrations of $$^{137}$$Cs in all the HCl-treatment residues were below the criterion. This residue was mostly composed of silicates. Static leaching tests of the residue revealed that $$^{137}$$Cs is very stably immobilized in the silicates.

Development of toxic metal adsorbent with radiation-induced graft polymerization

Tamada, Masao

Kankyo Shigen Kogaku, 51(2), p.99 - 101, 2004/04

Fibrous chelate adsorbents have been synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization onto polyethylene nonwoven fabric. Graft polymerization was induced by electron beam irradiation to the trunk polymer. Then, irradiated trunk polymer was contacted with reactive monomer having function of chelate agent or its precursor. The precursor was chemically converted to chelate agent. The resulting fibrous chelate adsorbent gave the high space velocity more than 500 h$$^{-1}$$ in removal of lead from its solution. Such adsorbent was applied to the removal of cadmium from scallop processing waste and the removal of lead from the contaminated water which was produced by washing the inside of incinerator.

Study on plasma melting treatment of crucibles, ceramic filter elements, asbestos, and fly ash

Hoshi, Akiko; Nakashio, Nobuyuki; Nakashima, Mikio

Genshiryoku Bakkuendo Kenkyu, 10(1-2), p.93 - 102, 2004/03

The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) decided to adopt an advanced volume reduction program for low-level radioactive wastes. In this program, inorganic wastes are converted to stable glassy products suitable for disposal by a plasma melting system in the Waste Volume Reduction Facilities (WVRF). In this paper, plasma melting test of crucibles,ceramic filter elements,asbestos,and simulated fly ashes were carried out as a part of technical support for WVRF. The plasma melting treatment was applicable for crucibles and asbestos because homogeneous and glassy products were obtained by controlling of waste and loading condition. It was found that an oxidizing slag is needed for effective melting condition of ceramic filter elements with a plasma torch with inert gas, and controlling of slag components have the potential to stabilize volatile metals such as Zn, Pb in a solidified product in the melting test of simulated fly ash.

This study is aimed at controlling oxidation reaction of molten metal by ash in incineration systems, and at positively utilizing the oxidation reaction for decontamination of slag. In this year, in order to investigate physico-chemical properties of mixed fused salt containing alkali sulfates, with special focus on the behaviour of oxygen anion in the melts, Cu$$^{2+}$$ / Cu$$^{+}$$ redox equilibrium experiments were carried out. Among the effect of various parameters on Cu$$^{2+}$$ / Cu$$^{+}$$ ratio in binary and ternary alkali sulfate melts, the effect of partial pressures of oxygen and SO$$_{2}$$ was mainly investigated in the study. Variation in Cu$$^{2+}$$ / Cu$$^{+}$$ ratio were presented as the function of partial pressures of oxygen and SO$$_{2}$$, respectively. Possible thermodynamic interpretation were made on the experimental results. In addition, the dissolution of Cr$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ in mixed alkali sulfates were also investigated as a first step to elucidate the mechanism of hot corrosion. With this investigation, an important finding was obtained that the solubility of Cr$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ for melts with same average ionic radius, in other words, oxygen ion activity, were essentially identical under constant temperature and atmosphere.
