Abstract

Calcination and adsorption on clay minerals are the most frequently studied ways of radionuclide fixation. A third way - fixation via co-precipitation - has not attracted much interest up to now. The characteristic for all three methods is high-temperature treatment of a pre-product containing the radioactivity, but they differ in introducing the activity into this pre-product. The disadvantages of co-precipitation are the difficult separation of the highly active sludge from solution and its bad qualification for caesium removal. Its advantages are the suitability for head-end processes, the less restricted volume capacity compared with clay mineral adsorption, and the avoidance of evaporation operations. Therefore it seemed worth while to look more closely into the chemistry of proper co-precipitation systems. The first system chosen was TiO{sub 2} * aq because of the good fixation qualities of TiO{sub 2} and titanates. The co-precipitation properties of TiO{sub 2} * aq were studied under different experimental conditions. For some radionuclides the distribution coefficient was found to be as good as or better than that for other oxide hydrates. High concentration of the radionuclide ion or similar ions causes decreasing distribution coefficient. This could be avoided by simultaneously precipitating carbonates or oxalates which remove the bulk  More>>

(author) [French] La calcination et l'adsorption par les mineraux argileux sont les modes de fixation des radioelements les plus frequemment etudies. Une troisieme methode, la fixation par coprecipitation, n'a guere suscite d'interet jusqu'a present. Ces trois methodes ont un point commun: le traitement a haute temperature des matieres radioactives, mais elles different quant au mode de fixation dans le produit final. La coprecipitation presente deux inconvenients: il est difficile de separer les boues de haute activite de la solution; elle se prete mal a la separation du cesium. Ses avantages sont les suivants: elle permet un traitement sans phase intermediaire; elle permet de traiter des quantites plus considerables que la methode d'adsorption par les mineraux argileux; elle permet d'eviter les operations d'evaporation. Aussi a-t-il paru interessant d'etudier de maniere plus approfondie la chimie de systemes de coprecipitation appropries. Le premier systeme choisi etait constitue par du bioxyde de titane en solution aqueuse, a cause des excellentes proprietes de fixation de TiO{sub 2} et des titanates. On a etudie, dans differentes conditions experimentales, comment cette solution se pretait a la coprecipitation. Pour certains radioelements, le coefficient de distribution etait aussi bon ou meme meilleur qu'avec les autres oxydes en solution aqueuse. Une forte concentration d'ions de radioelement ou d'ions similaires entraine une diminution du coefficient de distribution. On peut y remedier en precipitant simultanement des carbonates ou des oxalates qui absorbent la plus grande partie des ions. L'influence d'une forte teneur en aluminium a egalement ete etudiee. On a entrepris une nouvelle serie d'experiences sur la formation, au cours du traitement a haute temperature, d'anatase et de rutile a partir de precipites de solutions aqueuses de TiO{sub 2} pur et de titanates a partir de precipites de solutions aqueuses de TiO{sub 2} et d'un carbonate ou d*un oxalate. (author) [Spanish] Los metodos de fijacion de radionuclidos mas frecuentemente estudiados son la calcinacion y la adsorcion en minerales arcillosos. Un tercer procedimiento (la fijacion por coprecipitacion) no ha despertado mucho interes hasta el presente. Los tres metodos se caracterizan por el tratamiento a temperatura elevada de un producto inicial que contiene la sustancia radiactiva, pero difieren en la manera de introducir dicha sustancia en ese producto. Los inconvenientes de la coprecipitacion son las dificultades que presenta la separacion del lodo intensamente radiactivo de la solucion y su escasa capacidad de eliminar el cesio. Las ventajas son sus buenas cualidades para procesos ciclicos, una disminucion menor del volumen util en comparacion con la adsorcion en minerales arcillosos y la posibilidad de suprimir las operaciones de evaporacion. Se ha considerado, pues, que merece la pena estudiar con mas detalle la quimica de sistemas apropiados de coprecipitacion. El primer sistema utilizado ha sido el TiO{sub 2} * aq debido a las favorables propiedades de fijacion del TiO{sub 2} y de los titanatos. Se han estudiado las propiedades de coprecipitacion del TiO{sub 2} * aq en diferentes condiciones experimentales. En el caso de algunos radioniiclidos el coeficiente de distribucion obtenido es por lo menos tan favorable como para otros oxidos hidratados. El coeficiente de distribucion disminuye cuando la concentracion de iones del radionuclido o de iones analogos es elevada. Ello puede evitarse coprecipitando carbonatos u oxalatos que eliminen la mayor parte de los iones. Tambien se ha estudiado la influencia de un contenido elevado en aluminio. Se ha emprendido una investigacion sobre la formacion de anatasa y rutilo a partir de precipitados puros de TiO{sub 2} * aq y de titanatos a partir de precipitados deTiO{sub 2} * aq+ carbonato u oxalato durante el tratamiento a elevada temperatura.
