Weathering promotes the sorption of radiocesium in mafic minerals of river sediments in the Fukushima Prefecture, Japan
Radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) was sorbed on minerals and transported to river systems due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Recently, the authors have reported that mafic minerals sorb 137Cs equally or more strongly than micaceous minerals in fine sands. We characterized mafic minerals and elucidated their weathering using electron microscopy to determine whether they can sorb 137Cs. The surface of hornblende particles is weathered and altered to vermiculite. The surface of micas is less weathered than that of hornblende, indicating the 137Cs activity concentrations of highly weathered mafic minerals are higher than those of micas in part of sampling site. The results indicate that the effects of 137Cs sorption for hornblende depend on the weathering product at the surface.
期刊介绍:
Applied Geochemistry is an international journal devoted to publication of original research papers, rapid research communications and selected review papers in geochemistry and urban geochemistry which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavour, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal and the search for resources. Papers on applications of inorganic, organic and isotope geochemistry and geochemical processes are therefore welcome provided they meet the main criterion. Spatial and temporal monitoring case studies are only of interest to our international readership if they present new ideas of broad application.
Topics covered include: (1) Environmental geochemistry (including natural and anthropogenic aspects, and protection and remediation strategies); (2) Hydrogeochemistry (surface and groundwater); (3) Medical (urban) geochemistry; (4) The search for energy resources (in particular unconventional oil and gas or emerging metal resources); (5) Energy exploitation (in particular geothermal energy and CCS); (6) Upgrading of energy and mineral resources where there is a direct geochemical application; and (7) Waste disposal, including nuclear waste disposal.
