Abstract:
The sorption distribution coefficients
Kd of plutonium on mudstone and sandstone are studied by batch experiments. The experimental factors influencing
Kd are stone granularity, the pH value of the aqueous phase, the solid-to-liquid ratio, different ions existing in aqueous phase. It is shown
Kd of Pu on mudstone is about 120 mL/g,
Kd of Pu on sandstone is 1.60×10.4 mL/g. The sandstone has greater sorption ability of Pu than mudstone. It is indicated that the
Kd of Pu is increasing while granularity of rock minimizing, pH and ratio of solid and liquid increasing; the sorption of Pu on rocks is strongly in aqueous nitrate solution than simulated groundwater.
