Abstract
The bentonite colloid produced in the deep geological repository of high-level radioactive waste can directly affect the migration of radionuclide strontium when it acts on claystone. The adsorption characteristics of strontium were investigated on claystone with the presence or absence of bentonite colloids from the Suhongtu area of China. The effects of different influencing factors, such as pH and solid content, on the adsorption process were investigated by batch adsorption experiments, and spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the samples before and after adsorption of strontium. The results show that the presence of bentonite colloids can promote the adsorption of strontium on claystone under alkaline conditions. and the general order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data. Strontium is adsorbed on the surface of claystone and bentonite colloid by ion exchange and surface complexation. Most of the Sr2+ formed SrCO3 with CO32- after ion exchange with Ca2+ and Mg2+ in plagioclase and dolomite, and a small amount of Sr2+ was adsorbed by complexation with -OH, Al-O and Si-O. These results provide a scientific basis for predicting the migration of strontium in subsurface porous media and the siting of high-level radioactive waste repositories.

Wang J, Cai W, Zuo R, Du C. A Study of Sr Sorption Behavior in Claystone from a Candidate High-Level Radioactive Waste Geological Disposal Site under the Action of FeOOH Colloids. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:9970. [PMID: 36011607 PMCID: PMC9408631 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19169970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Colloids have a significant influence on the migration of nuclides in claystone, which is an important geological barrier. The sorption of strontium on claystone in the presence of FeOOH colloids was investigated in samples from the Suhongtu site, a candidate high-level radioactive waste disposal site in China. The effects of colloid amount, solid content, and pH were investigated by batch tests, and the sorption reaction mechanism was analyzed by kinetic modeling and microscopic characterization techniques. The results indicate that the sorption of Sr by claystone increased with the solids content, and the claystone had a stronger Sr sorption capacity under alkaline conditions. The Sr sorption kinetics were best described by the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, which revealed that the progress is affected by physical diffusion and chemical sorption. Furthermore, the microscopic characterization results demonstrate that cation exchange reactions and surface complex reactions are the main sorption mechanisms for Sr sorption on claystone. Ca and Mg plasmas in claystone minerals can have cation replacement reactions with Sr, and functional groups such as -OH and [CO3]2- can have complexation reactions with Sr to adsorb Sr on the surface of the claystone. Additionally, the presence of the FeOOH colloid inhibited the sorption effect of claystone slightly. The FeOOH colloid could occupy sorption sites on the claystone surface, which reduces the activity of the functional groups and inhibits the sorption of Sr on claystone.

Mechanical Properties of Crumb Rubber Mortar Containing Nano-Silica Using Response Surface Methodology. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14195496.

Abstract
Crumb rubber (CR) from scrap tires is used as a partial replacement of fine aggregates in cement paste. This promotes the sustainable development of the environment, economy, and society, as waste tires are non-biodegradable and flammable. They occupy large landfill areas and are breeding grounds for mosquitoes and rodents. Inclusion of CR in mortar leads to several improvements on the mixture properties such as ductility, toughness, and impact resistance. However, it exhibits lower strengths and Modulus of Elasticity (ME). Therefore, to promote the use of mortar containing CR, it is vital to improve its mechanical strength. Past studies proved that nano-silica (NS) improves the strength of concrete due to the physico-chemical effects of NS. This study aims to examine the mechanical properties of crumb rubber mortar containing nano-silica (NS-CRM) and to develop models to predict these properties using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Two variables were considered, CR as partial replacement to sand by volume (0%, 7.5%, 15%), and NS as partial replacement to cement by weight (0%, 2.5%, 5%). The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of CRM when incorporating NS, and the models developed using RSM were acceptable with a 2% to 3% variation.

Abstract
Colloids in groundwater or geological barriers generally play a key role in the migration of special nuclides. Adsorption characteristics of strontium were investigated on porous media in the presence of colloidal Fe(OH)3 from the Beishan Site, the only high-level radioactive waste disposal site candidate in China. The effects of colloid amounts, solid contents, and pH were determined and studied by batch texts. The results revealed that the presence of colloidal Fe(OH)3 in porous media contributed to promotion of the sorption effect, and the influencing factors had a significant impact on the adsorption process. The sorption ability increased with increasing colloid amount when the equilibrium time was approximately 10 h under an optimal solid-liquid ratio of 20 g L-1. The sorption effect in alkaline conditions was better than that under acidic conditions. The sorption kinetics indicated that the strong chemical interaction and/or surface complexation contributed primarily to strontium sorption. The sorption isotherms and model fitting revealed that the sorption of strontium onto porous media in the presence of colloidal Fe(OH)3 was a monolayer adsorption, and the presence of colloidal Fe(OH)3 is an important factor that greatly influences the removal of strontium from aqueous solutions. These findings provide useful information for the treatment of strontium in radioactive waste disposal sites.

Effect of Colloidal Silicate on the Migration Behaviour of Strontium in Groundwater Environment of Geological Disposal Candidate Site. J CHEM-NY 2019.

Abstract
Various colloids are present in the natural groundwater environment, and colloids act on the processes involved when radionuclides leak from a repository in a high-level waste disposal site. This paper investigates the effect of colloidal silicate in natural groundwater environments on the migration behaviour of Sr(II). Three different experimental cases have been designed: (1) effect in the presence of colloidal silicate, (2) effect in the presence of a porous medium, and (3) effect in the presence of both colloidal silicate and porous medium (referred to as CS, PM, and PC, respectively). Batch experiments were used to study the effect of influencing factors on Sr(II) migration behaviour, such as the amount of CS, solid-to-liquid ratio, pH, contact time, and initial concentration of Sr(II). The experiments showed that the effect of PC on the migration behaviour of Sr(II) was greatest, and the presence of CS enhanced the sorption. The colloid amount, pH, and solid-to-liquid ratio significantly affected the migration behaviour. The more the colloids were added, the better the adsorption effect. The optimal pH and solid-to-liquid ratio were 6 and 20 : 1, respectively. The alkaline environment is more conductive to colloid sorption. When the solid-to-liquid ratio was 20 : 1, the sorption percentage of PC is 0.5 times larger than PM. Although the PC has a longer adsorption equilibrium time, the percentage of adsorption can be larger than that in the other two cases. The kinetics and isotherms of Sr(II) were best described by the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. It was inferred that strong chemical interactions and/or surface complexation contributed primarily to Sr(II) sorption, and the process was on the monolayer adsorption of the outer surface. These findings provide valuable information for the migration behaviour of strontium in groundwater environments of geological disposal site. At the same time, it provides information for the implementation of permeable reactive barrier technology to control the transport of radioactive Sr(II) and its species in natural surface and groundwater.

Abstract
We explored the effect of the presence or absence of humic acid (HA) on the sorption behaviour of Sr onto soil. We examined three different experimental cases for Sr sorption: (1) sorption in the presence of only colloidal HA, (2) sorption in the presence of only soil and (3) sorption in the presence of both colloidal HA and soil (HS). A batch technique was used to study the influencing factors, including the amount of colloidal HA, solid content, pH, initial concentration of Sr and contact time. The experiments showed that the influencing factors significantly affected the sorption process. For example, in the case of soil and HS, the sorption percentage increased rapidly with increasing solid content at m/V < 20 g/L, changing from 8.35% and 37.54% to 49.09% and 77.03%, respectively. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize samples. The kinetics and isotherms of Sr were best described by the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, which indicated that the process was controlled by chemisorption and uniform monolayer sorption with constant energy on the outer surface. These findings provide valuable information for predicting strontium migration in radioactive waste disposal sites.

Abstract
Abstract
Adsorption of thorium onto nitric acid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated by central composite design as a function of contact time, pH, initial thorium concentration and temperature. The results showed that optimum uptake capacity was 65.75±2.23 mg·g−1 with respect to pH=4, initial thorium concentration of 100 mg·L−1, 25 °C and 15 min contact time. Thermodynamic parameters [standard enthalpy (ΔH
0), entropy (ΔS
0), and free energy (ΔG
0)] were calculated, and the results indicated that adsorption was endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms have been investigated in order to characterize the adsorption process in the range of 25–100 mg·L−1 initial thorium concentration. The Freundlich isotherm is the best suited as a model because it has the highest correlation coefficient (R2=0.9485). The pseudo-second order kinetics well defined the adsorption process.
