Mobility of radionuclides (RNs) in natural water systems can be increased by complex formation with organic materials. In alkaline cement pore-water conditions, cellulose materials in radwastes such as woods and papers are degraded fast to small organic materials. As a major cellulose degradation product, isosaccharinate (ISA) has been paid attention recently due to its effect on facilitating RNs migration. ISA contains a carboxyl and four hydroxyl functional groups, which cooperatively interact to form chelating bonds with positively charged radionuclides. In our previous study, we determined thermodynamic formation constants, reaction enthalpy and entropy of trivalent americium complexes with ISA, Am(ISA)n (3-n)+ (n=1, 2), in weak acidic condition by conducting temperature-dependent UVVis absorption spectroscopy. Based on those thermodynamic constants along with the experimental results from time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we suggested two different chelating-modes of ISA on Am(III). It is more relevant to study Am(III)-ISA complexation under alkaline conditions around pH 12.5, which correspond to the pore-water condition of calciumsilicate- hydrate. Under the alkaline conditions, deprotonated hydroxyl groups of ISA can form more strong interactions with Am. Aquatic hydroxide group can also act as a ligand to form ternary Am(III) -ISA-OH complexes. In this study, absorption spectra of Am-ISA systems were monitored with two variations: first, pH variation (5.5–13) in the presence of constant 30 mM ISA, and second, ISA concentration variation (20 μM – 30 mM) at constant pH of 12.5. As increasing the pH at constant 30 mM ISA, absorption spectra of Am(ISA)2 + were red-shifted from 506.3 to 509.5 nm. The samples showed stable absorption spectra over 30 days. On the other hand, samples with lower ISA concentrations below 10 mM at pH 12.5, showed gradual decrease in the absorbance as sample aging time. By examining filtrates after ultrafiltration (1 kDa), we confirmed that aqueous Am(III)-ISA complexes were formed in the presence of 30 mM ISA at pH 12.5, while colloidal particles and precipitations were formed in the conditions of ISA concentrations lower than 10 mM. In this presentation, we will discuss about probable ternary complex forms of Am(III)-ISA-OH, colloidal forms, and solubility of Am(III) as a function of ISA concentration under alkaline conditions. Absorption and luminescence spectroscopic properties of the Am(III)-ISA-OH ternary system will also be presented.

스트론튬(90Sr)과 니켈(59Ni)은 처분안전성평가에서 중요하게 다루는 핵종들이다. 지하에서 방사성핵종의 이동을 저지하기 위한 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있는데, 처분시스템에서 용기와 부식반응으로 생기는 광물들 중에 핵종들과 반응성이 뛰어난 광물들이 존재하는 것이 알려졌다. 이들 중에서 철-황화합광물인 맥키나와이트(FeS)를 선정하여 스트론튬, 니켈과 수착 실험을 하였다. 심부지하에서 환원 알카리 환경을 고려하여, pH 8 ~ 12까지 조건에서 pH에 따른 수착영향을 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 스트론튬은 낮은 알카리영역에서 수착능이 저조하였지만, 니켈은 전 실험영역에서 높은 수착능을 보였다. 또, 두 핵종 모두 알카리 조건에서 pH가 증가할수록 수착량(Kd)이 증가하였는데, 이는 pH가 증가하면서 풍부해진 OH‐이온이 광 물표면에 수소나 양이온과 결합해 탈착하면서 광물표면에 전기음성도가 증가해 양이온인 스트론튬과 니켈을 전기적 인력으로 끌어당기기 때문으로 여겨진다.

Zeolitic material, Z-Y3, was synthesized from coal fly ash (CFA) under low-alkaline conditions (NaOH/CFA ratio = 0.3 and NaOH solution concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 M) using a fusion/hydrothermal method. The adsorption capacities of the fabricated Z-Y3 samples for Cs and Sr ions and the desorption capacity of Na ions were evaluated. The XRD patterns of the Z-Y3 sample fabricated using a 1.0 M NaOH solution (Z-Y3 (1.0 M)) indicated the successful synthesis of a zeolitic material, because the diffraction peaks of Z-Y3 coincided with those of the Na-A zeolite in the 2θ range of 7.18-34.18. Moreover, the SEM images revealed that morphology of the Z-Y3 (1.0 M) sample, which presented zeolitic materials characteristics, consisted of sharp-edged cubes. The adsorption isotherms of Cs and Sr ions on all the fabricated Z-Y3 samples were described using the Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacities of Cs and Sr were calculated to be 0.14-0.94 mmol/g and 0.19-0.78 mmol/g, respectively. The desorption of Na ions from the Cs and Sr ions adsorbed Z-Y3 samples followed the Langmuir desorption model. The maximum desorption capacities of Na ions from the Cs and Sr ions adsorbed Z-Y3 (1.0 M) samples were 1.28 and 1.49 mmol/g, respectively.

철근의 대체보강재로서 섬유보강근에 대한 적용연구가 증가하고 있으며, 단기거동에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 동결융해와 알칼리 환경하에서의 바살트와 유리섬유보강근의 미세구조와 인장거동 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 100회까지의 동결융해에서 5% 내외의 강도와 탄성계수 저하가 발생하였다. 20일까지의 초기 미세구조변화의 경우 알칼리용액의 온도가 낮은 경우에는 손상이 거의 발생하지 않았으나, 60℃에서는 20일 경과시에도 수지 용해와 섬유 손상이 관찰되었으며, 수지계면의 섬유분리가 발견되었다. 알칼리 환경에서는 20℃환경에서 100일까지는 10% 내외의 강도저하 현상이 발생하였으며, 500일 노출시 최대50%의 강도 저하가 발생하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 40℃와 60℃ 환경에서는 50일과 100일에서 급격한 강도저하가 관찰되었으며, 바살트섬유보강근의 경우에는 알칼리에서 섬유부풀음에 의한 손상으로 강도저하가 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서 블레이디드된 섬유보강근의 장기성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 내알칼리성 확보를 위한 표면처리가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tensile strength of GFRP and BFRP Rebar after exposure to environmental factors of deterioration (alkali, freezing -thawing) in order to present that as basic data for the application of FRP Rebar as concrete reinforcement. As a result, in the exposure of an alkali environment, the deterioration of fiber-resin was accelerated as the temperature increased, and it was found that there was an insignificant effect on freezing-thawing.
