초록
Uranium has been identified as an element of interest for the safety assessment of a deep geological repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel. This paper studied the sorption behavior of tetravalent U(IV) onto MX-80 bentonite and granite in ionic strength 0.05–1 mol/kgw Ca-Na-Cl solutions at pHm of 4–10 (for MX-80 bentonite) and 4–9 (for granite) under reducing conditions. It was found that sorption of U(IV) on MX-80 gradually increased with pHm from 4 to 7 and then reached a sorption plateau. Sorption of U(IV) on granite increased with pHm dramatically from pHm 4 to 5 and then reached a sorption plateau. Sorption of U(IV) on both MX-80 and granite was not influenced by ionic strength of Ca-Na-Cl solutions. The sorption of U(IV) onto MX-80 and granite in CaNa-Cl solutions was successfully simulated by a 2 site protolysis non electrostatic surface complexation and cation exchange (2SPNE SC/CE) sorption model using four inner-sphere surface complexation reactions. Values of surface complexation reaction constant (log K0 ) were optimized.
