  2. 1. Stability and sorption capacity of montmorillonite colloids : Investigation of size fractional differences and effects of γ-irradiation

    Author : Karin Norrfors; Susanna Wold; Daniel Kaplan; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; montmorillonite; colloids; size effect; γ-irradiation; sorption; colloid stability; radionuclides; montmorillonit; kolloider; storlekseffekt; γ-bestrålning; sorption; kollodial stabilitet; radionuklider; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Bentonite clay is intended to form one of the barriers in most repositories of spent nuclear fuel located in granite. One important function of the bentonite barrier is to retard transport of radionuclides in the event of waste canister failure. Bentonite has a high sorption capacity of cations and its main constituent is montmorillonite. READ MORE

  4. 2. Transport of Radionuclides and Colloid Through Quartz Sand Columns

    Author : Birgit Christiansen-Sätmark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transport; radionuclides; Goethite column experiments; sorption; Quartz; colloid;

    Abstract : Studies of the transport of radionuclides in the geosphere are one of the main tasks for performance assessment of a nuclear waste repository. A possible enhanced transport path for the radionuclides is the formation and transport of non-depositing colloids with a high affinity for radionuclides. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Influence of Polyelectrolytes on the Stability of Colloids

    Author : Lena Sjöström; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electrostatic interaction; charge reversal; colloid; asymmetric systems; electric double layer; polyelectrolyte; Monte Carlo; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The interaction between two colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes in aqueous solution is studied within the primitive model by Monte Carlo simulations. For neutral colloids with grafted polyelectrolytes and in absence of salt the interaction is strongly repulsive in absence of salt. READ MORE

  6. 4. The bentonite barrier : microstructural aspects on colloid filtration and radiation effects on bentonite colloid stability

    Author : Michael Holmboe; Mats Jonsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chemistry;

    Abstract : In many countries a multi-barrier concept in a deep geological repository is planned for final disposal of nuclear waste. Many of these different concepts, for example the Swedish KBS-3 model, include an engineered barrier consisting of compacted bentonite. READ MORE

  7. 5. Generation, stability and migration of montmorillonite colloids in aqueous systems

    Author : Sandra García García; Mats Jonsson; Tiziana Missana; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bentonite; montmorillonite; colloid stability; colloid migration; geological disposal; nuclear waste; granitic fractures; ; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Environmental toxicology; Miljötoxikologi; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi; Nuclear chemistry; Kärnkemi;

    Abstract : In Sweden the encapsulated nuclear waste will be surrounded by compacted bentonite in the granitic host rock. In contact with water-bearing fractures the bentonite barrier may release montmorillonite colloids that may be further transported in groundwater. READ MORE
