特选榨菜对铀污染土壤的修复评价

本文通过两种不同的加铀方式,加入不同种类及浓度的螯合剂,以及土壤改良剂(有机肥、微生物肥料、腐殖酸、尿素)的方法,研究了不同因素对特选榨菜修复铀污染土壤的影响。结果表明:在pH=5时把UO_2(NO_3)_2·6H_2O溶液喷洒入土壤,使土壤中铀污染浓度为100 mg·kg~(-1)时,特选榨菜地上部铀富集的浓度最大可以达到1103.42 mg·kg~(-1),根部为1909.49 mg·kg~(-1),去除率为7.81%;上述含铀土壤放置2年后制备成模拟铀污染的土壤,进而栽种特选榨菜进行修复,在100 mg·kg~(-1)铀污染浓度下,植物上部铀富集浓度最大为295.83 mg·kg~(-1),根部为268.42 mg·kg~(-1),年去除率为2.52%。用Tessier五步连续提取法测定两次修复土壤中铀的形态,发现模拟铀污染土壤比铀喷洒于土壤中有效态的铀(交换态和碳酸盐结合态)要低52.7%;加入柠檬酸、苹果酸等螯合剂以及有机肥、微生物肥料、腐殖酸、尿素等土壤改良剂,在模拟铀污染土壤修复时发现有机肥会降低植物上部对铀的富集;而柠檬酸和微生物肥会增强植物上部对铀的富集。

Hydrothermal leather waste by hydrothermal method for uranium (VI) removal from a Simulated Saline Solution

Hydrothermal leather waste was prepared by hydrothermal method, using leather waste as the precondition and applying the adsorption of uranium (VI) in solution. The effects of pH value, adsorption time and initial concentration of uranium (VI) on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. The adsorption process was in accordance with the pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous, and it reached adsorption equilibrium in 240 min. In the simulated high salinity environment, the adsorbent exhibited excellent adsorption rate on the trace of uranium (VI). The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, flourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and it was found that the adsorption mechanism was coordinated complex.     

Comparison of AMS,TIMS, and SIMS techniques for determining uranium isotope ratios in individual particles

The determination of isotope ratios in individual uranium particles is very important for nuclear safeguards. In this work, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were applied to isotope ratio analysis of individual uranium particles and compared in terms of background, measurement accuracy, and efficiency. Several individual uranium particles (1–7 μm) from certified reference materials were used as samples. The results show that the average values of blank counting rate of ²³⁵U for AMS, FT-TIMS (FT: fission track), SEM-TIMS (SEM: scanning electron microscope), and SIMS were 7.3, 7.8, 2.7 and 2.2 cps, respectively. The relative error of ²³⁴U/²³⁵U and ²³⁴U/²³⁶U isotope ratios of the particles from U200 for AMS were within 10% and 20%, whereas the results of FT-TIMS and SIMS were within 5% and 10%, respectively. The relative error and external precision of ²³⁴U/²³⁸U and ²³⁵U/²³⁸U of the particles from U850 for the method of AMS, SEM-TIMS, and SIMS were within 10% and 5%, respectively. For ²³⁶U/²³⁸U, the average values of the relative error and external precision measured by AMS were within 5%, which measured by SEM-TIMS and SIMS were all within 10%. AMS has advantages in measuring ²³⁶U/²³⁸U. The measurement time of AMS and SEM-TIMS was shorter than that of FT-TIMS and longer than that of SIMS. It is considered that AMS and SEM-TIMS have a certain development prospect, and it is necessary to research deeply.     

Leaching of uranium,radium and thorium from vertisol soil by ground water

Shallow land burial is routinely used for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste. Natural processes causing leaching of radionuclides can lead to contamination of surrounding ground water and soil by the radionuclides. The comparative leachability of radionuclides U_(nat), ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra and Th_(nat) from the soil of a radioactive waste disposal site, by ground water was evaluated. The probability of leaching was obtained in the following order Ra (≈77%) > U (≈40%) > Th (≈20%). Observed ratios (OR) were calculated to correlate leachability of radionuclides to that of major cations Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺. The leaching of the radionuclides was seen to be dependent on Ca²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ leached from the soil. This study provides sitespecific leachability of radionuclides, that can be used as indicator of the tendency for migration or retention in soil. It can play an important role during an unforeseen accident like breach of containment at the waste disposal site leading to contamination of soil and ground water and causing hazard to public via drinking water route.     

XPS determination of uranium oxidation states

This contribution is both a review of different aspects of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy that can help one determine U oxidation states and a personal perspective on how to effectively model the X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy of complicated mixed‐valence U phases. After a discussion of the valence band, the focus lingers on the U4f region, where the use of binding energies, satellite structures, and peak shapes is discussed in some detail. Binding energies were shown to be very dependent on composition/structure and consequently unreliable guides to oxidation state, particularly where assignment of composition is difficult. Likewise, the spin orbit split 4f_7/2 and 4f_5/2 peak shapes do not carry significant information on oxidation states. In contrast, both satellite‐primary peak binding energy separations, as well as intensities to a lesser extent, are relatively insensitive to composition/structure within the oxide–hydroxide–hydrate system and can be used to both identify and help quantify U oxidation states in mixed valence phases. An example of the usefulness of the satellite structure in constraining the interpretation of a complex multivalence U compound is given. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
