โœฆ Synopsis


Effect of bentonite and ash additives on the leaching and strength properties of cementeresin matrix was investigated. Three groups of samples have been prepared by cementation of low-level-radioactive resin. These are (A) cementeresineash matrix, (B) cementeresinebentonite matrix and (C) cementeresin matrix. Each of the samples has different amounts of resin, cement, water and additives. Water/Cement ratio of the samples was arranged in the range of 0.4e0.5. Group (A) samples included fly ash as an additive in the range of 10e30% (w/w). Group (B) samples included bentonite as an additive in the range of 3e12% (w/w). Group (C) samples were prepared without any additives. Leaching rates of radionuclides ( 60 Co, 137 Cs) and stabilities of these waste forms were compared to each other. Although long-term leach tests showed that bentonite additives significantly decrease the leaching rates (4.85 ร‚ 10 ร€8 kg m 2 /s for 60 Co and 2.68 ร‚ 10 ร€8 kg m 2 /s for 137 Cs), compressive strength of these samples was not sufficient for handling. Optimum values have been measured by the tests of samples B4 and B5 in this group. Bentonite contents of these samples were between 5 and 7% (w/w). Evaluation of test results showed that optimum ratio of resin to matrix material was between 0.36 and 0.67.

## Abstract This work deals with cementation of silver onto iron grid in fixed bed reactor. The influence of several parameters is studied namely: initial concentration of silver [Ag^+^]~0~, flow rate, solution pH, and mass of iron. Moreover, their influence on the yield of the reaction of cementat
