Abstract
The maximum sorption capacity of Cs+ onto the powdered UO2 surface, obtained from experimental sorption isotherms (0.1 mol L−1 NaClO4 at 25 °C and pH=6.3), was found to be 6.3·10−5 mol·g−1. Potentiometric titration data, also in 0.1 mol L−1 NaClO4, were modeled using the double diffuse layer model, yielding acidity constants of pKa1= 3.2 ± 0.15 and pKa2= -10.8 ± 0.15. The dissolution of UO2 at pH between 2 and 12 was measured at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 40 g·L−1 in 0.1 mol L−1 NaClO4 and the determined solubility product obtained was pKs,U(OH)4 = -(3.2 ± 0.2).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators.
