Abstract
Background: A safe and long-term isolation of radionuclides is crucial for efficient waste management in the nuclear fuel cycle. Clay minerals of geological origin are considered candidate barrier materials for the sequestration of nuclear waste for geological disposal applications.
Objective: The present study encompasses a systematic characterization of weathered basalt rock and the influence of its constituent clay minerals (formed mainly due to the weathering process) in the uptake of metal ions of nuclear importance, such as cesium (Cs+) and strontium (Sr2+).
Methods: The structural profile of the weathered basalt has been investigated using different analytical techniques, including polarizing microscope, XRD, FTIR and EDXRF. The sorption behaviour of the rock sample for Cs+ and Sr2+ has been investigated in a comprehensive batch mode by varying the experimental conditions. The analytical findings for structure and batch sorption performance of the material have been further correlated to understand the influence of different parameters on the uptake of metal ions and the underlying mechanism.
Results: Structural analyses confirmed the presence of clay minerals viz., kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite in the sample. A comprehensive sorption performance assessment carried out in batch mode at different experimental conditions revealed that the uptake of both the metal ions was rapid and dependent on initial metal ion concentration and solution pH. The uptake of Cs+ ions was found to be higher as compared to the Sr2+ ions. EDXRF analysis confirmed the loading of Cs+ and Sr2+ on the weathered basalt. Experimental batch sorption data presented a better agreement with the theoretical Freundlich isotherm pertaining to the heterogeneous nature of the sorbent.
Conclusion: The studies highlight that the clay minerals formed by structural alteration of basalt rock upon intense weathering could be very useful in fixing the nuclear fission waste components such as Cs+ and Sr2+.
