The concentrations of fluorine and boron dissolved in groundwater pumped from shafts during excavation at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU), Tono Geoscience Centre, are reduced to the levels below the environmental standards at a water treatment facility. Collaborative research on groundwater treatment for fluorine and boron has been started by the Environment and Industrial Materials Research Division, Quantum Beam Science Directorate and the Tono Geoscientific Research Unit, Geological Isolation Research and Development Directorate. This is because the Quantum Beam Science Directorate in JAEA has synthesized fibrous adsorbents with radiation-induced graft polymerization and applied them to collect rare metals dissolved in hot springs and sea water. Boron adsorbent synthesized by grafting showed higher removal rate than that of the ion-exchange resin. Additionally, the durability and the repetition use of the boron adsorbent were evaluated to estimate the performance of boron adsorption. Therefore we produced the test equipment to do scale-up test of the adsorbent. Effect of flow rate and the repetition use on the adsorption performance of boron was investigated. As a result, it concluded that adsorption performance did not change even when the flow rate increased from SV 50h
to SV 100h. In addition, enough durability was confirmed for the repetition use of the adsorbent. The adsorption performance of the adsorbent was affected by pH of the groundwater especially in alkaline region.

The concentrations of fluorine (7.2
9.5 mg/L) and boron (0.81.5 mg/L) dissolved in groundwater pumped from shafts during excavation at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU), Tono Geoscience Centre, are reduced to the levels below the environmental standards (fluorine: 0.8 mg/L, boron: 1 mg/L) at a water treatment facility. Coagulation treatment and ion exchange treatment are applied for fluorine and boron respectively. Consequently, we have started research on efficient groundwater treatment for fluorine and boron using radiation-induced graft polymerization adsorbent. Regarding the treatment for boron, over 95% of boron has been removed from groundwater volume of 760 times greater than the volume of the adsorbent. With respect to the fluorine removal, 95% of fluorine has been removed from groundwater volume of 320 times greater than the volume of the adsorbent. As over 90% of fluorine must be removed from the groundwater in order to meet the environmental standard, the treatment method for fluorine using radiation-induced graft polymerization adsorbent is less efficient than for boron and will need further improvement. Therefore, we are planning to perform a durability evaluation and recycling test of adsorbent using improved testing equipment for enhancing the efficiency.
