However, these tools often fail to take full account of the spatial heterogeneity of geological matrices. This diffuse behavior results in an ineffective approach to managing local environmental characteristics. To address this issue, stochastic geochemical modelling allows for more informed management of remediation thresholds by quantifying the spatial uncertainty of a regionalized variable. In this context, our research aims to explore the concept of geochemical compatibility of a matrix using a stochastic approach. In particular, the spatial geochemical compatibility (SGC) of stream sediments will be investigated using a tailored processing workflow to ensure <em>a priori</em> data quality control. The proposed workflow formalises a multi-step computational pipeline that includes the definition of computational domains, the implementation of geostatistical techniques and the performance checking of the stochastic model. The application of the pipeline provides a digital stochastic-based representation of the uncertainty about stream sediments of a heterogeneous area for 34 elements.</div><div>For each element, 8 layers summarize as many statistical indices as are extracted from the local cumulative probability density functions. The pipeline has been validated by testing it in the heterogeneous mountainous area of the Liguria region (Italy) and a multilayer high-resolution (200 m) geochemical numerical model (GNM-L) has been generated.

It empowers the community with geochemical knowledge and helps local decision makers to understand and use the concept of environmental uncertainty.

This study investigated Sb flux from lake sediments of Yellowknife Bay (Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada), which were contaminated by gold mining operations. Sediment Sb fluxes were measured in the field by short term (2–6 day) incubations of intact sediment cores and in the laboratory by incubating bulk sediment over a longer 30-day period. Antimony diffusion from sediment to overlying water was observed in 17 of 28 intact cores (61%), with flux rates ranging from 10 to 279 μg/m<sup>2</sup>/day. Overlying water and surface sediment remained oxic during the field measurements. Sediment Sb concentration (0.7–47 μg/g) was positively correlated with Sb flux, and the mineralogy of the sediment, characterized in a companion study, likely influenced flux spatial patterns. Other environmental factors, specifically season, temperature, organic matter content, and iron or manganese concentrations of sediment did not explain Sb flux. Porewater Sb concentrations were low (0.2–9.6 μg/L), and porewater depth profiles were not related to solid-phase Sb concentration, suggesting limited post-depositional mobility within sediments. Laboratory incubation of mixed bulk sediments showed higher Sb fluxes of 185–1555 μg/m<sup>2</sup>/day over the course of a 30-day experiment. Temperature warming from 7 to 22 °C did not enhance the Sb flux. Higher Sb fluxes in the laboratory versus field measurements may have been due to (i) more Sb in the laboratory sediments (∼160 μg/g), and (ii) oxidative dissolution of stibnite and Sb sulfosalt minerals that were previously stable in deeper anoxic sediments but disturbed and exposed to oxygen during laboratory manipulation.

The overall effect of the radiolysis is oxidizing so that U(IV) in the spent nuclear fuel is oxidized to U(VI). The dissolution of U(VI) is relatively fast, especially when the water contains bicarbonate. Based on this, radiolytic oxidation is considered the main driving force for spent fuel dissolution and radionuclide release in a spent fuel repository environment, and many studies over the years have aimed to further our understanding of this process and how it is influenced by available redox active components in open and closed systems. Here, data from sealed glass ampoules in which spent fuel is leached for one and five years, are compared with published data from a previous similar experiment. With regards to evolution of radiolytic gases, the results are comparable to the results from the previous experiments: a steady state with regards to oxygen and hydrogen composition is observed. An unexpected observation is that some ampoules with old, pre-oxidized fragments produced less radiolytic gases. These older fragments release a larger fraction of the radionuclide inventory of the samples, yielding concentrations that are on the same level as previously published data. The data from the old fragments presented here are affected by the pre-oxidation and prolonged washing procedure, which confounds the interpretation of those data. New, recently prepared fragments yield data that are easier to interpret. The radionuclide concentrations in the ampoules with new fragments are much lower; uranium concentrations of ca 5E-6 M after one year, and ca 3E-5 M after five years.

The retardation of radionuclides by the cementitious barriers of these repositories is crucial for the safe long-term management of the waste. Yet both the degradation of the cementitious materials and the presence of complexing ligands originating from the waste can affect the sorption of radionuclides. Cellulosic materials present in nuclear waste degrade under irradiation and under the alkaline conditions generated by the cementitious materials and they release organic compounds. Within the cellulose degradation products, α-isosacharinic acid (α-ISA) is generally assumed to be the strongest radionuclide complexant and to have the most impact on radionuclide sorption, though the presence of other ligands in the mixture could also have an effect. In this work, the sorption of <sup>63</sup>Ni was assessed on fresh and state III hardened cement paste (HCP). The effect of α-ISA on the <sup>63</sup>Ni sorption at these two degradation states was investigated and compared to the effect of a complete mixture of cellulose degradation products generated by irradiation and alkaline degradation of cellulosic tissues. A higher sorption of <sup>63</sup>Ni was observed on state III HCP (<em>R</em><sub><em>d</em></sub> = (8.6 ± 3.3) × 10<sup>3</sup> L/kg) than on fresh HCP (<em>R</em><sub><em>d</em></sub> = (1.0 ± 0.3) × 10<sup>3</sup> L/kg), and, in both cases, the sorption was higher than previously observed on pure C–S–H (calcium silicate hydrate) suggesting the involvement of other mechanisms than the sole surface complexation on C–S–H. The effect of α-ISA on the sorption of <sup>63</sup>Ni depended on the cement degradation state, ranging from no effect on fresh cement to a maximal sorption reduction factor of 8 ± 3 on degraded cement for 10<sup>−2</sup> M α-ISA. The effect of the mixture of degradation products from cellulosic tissues on the sorption of <sup>63</sup>Ni was found to be considerably higher on both fresh and degraded HCP, with a sorption reduction factor of 582 ± 972 and 718 ± 327 for the fresh and degraded cement, respectively, for a corresponding α-ISA concentration of 10<sup>−2</sup> M.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8064,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geochemistry","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 106237"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
