Sorption of radionuclides to building materials and its removal using simple salts - 15452

Conference Kaminski, Michael ; Mertz, Carol ; Ortega, Luis ; ...

Decontamination after a nuclear or radiological release requires a detailed understanding of the materials hosting the contamination, the chemistry of the radionuclide, and the chemical properties of the decontamination agent. We have been studying the sorption chemistry of cesium onto urban building materials and roadways to develop simple decontamination methods that can be deployed for wide-area decontamination efforts. Our results include sorption/desorption of these radionuclides onto specific minerals found in some concrete and brick, and from monolithic coupons of concrete, asphalt, marble, tile, and brick as a function of time, age of contamination, and salt composition of the decontamination solutions.more »« less
Wash Penalty Factors: Insight into the Effects of Water Wash Down of Building Materials for Radionuclide/Nuclear (Rn) Decontamination - 20153

Conference Kaminski, Michael ; Oster, Christopher ; Jolin, William ; ...

The release of radiological material to the urban environment can have a devastating socio-economic impact. In an urban release scenario, areas around the dispersal epicenter and any areas contaminated via atmospheric deposition may require extensive decontamination. Most recently, our group reported the decontamination efficacy of pressurized water washing of common porous building materials, and compared the penetration depth of the contaminations before and after exposure to pressurized tap water. Here, we continue evaluation of the decontamination efficacy of wash solutions based on potassium (K{sup +}) salt for cesium (Cs), strontium (Sr), and europium (Eu) contaminations on common building surfaces.

Sorption removal of radionuclide mixtures from natural waters and process solutions

Journal Article Tarkovskaya, I A ; Antonova, L S ; Goba, V E ; ... - Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry

Sorption capacity of some natural, technogeneous, and industrial materials (carbonic and mineral) and also of composite sorbents based on them with respect to radionuclide mixtures has been determined. These materials are promising for decontamination of natural and industrial waters wastewaters and for the removal of corresponding nonradioactive impurities from these waters.
