| Abstract: | Summary Amorphous zirconium phosphate (Zr(HPO4)2.nH2O, AM-ZP) has been investigated as a material for selective removal of Cs or Sr from molten salt waste at aqueous state and
its ceramic waste form. NZP (MZr2P3O12, M=Li, Na, Cs, and Sr), was synthesized by three methods and evaluated their durability by the Product Consistency Test (PCT)
method. AM-ZP has a high selectivity on Cs and Sr even in the presence of Li with high concentration. From the leaching data,
the leached fractions (LF∞) of each product at a given time in infinite leachate volume can be calculated by a semi-empirical equation. The LF∞ of Li, Na, Cs and Sr on the product prepared by composition-adjusting process were 0.143, 0.078, 0.017, and 0.034, respectively.
It can be concluded that AM-ZP is an effective material for selective removal of radionuclides from molten salt waste and
its metal-loaded ZP can be changed into a durable waste form close to NZP structure by a composition-adjusting process. |
