Dissolution kinetics of struvite are important for optimizing intentional struvite crystallization, as well as for ensuring the efficient use of the crystallized products. Dissolution experiments were carried out for struvite pellets grown in a pilot-scale fluidized bed reactor. To determine the kinetics and mechanism of the dissolution process in a batch reactor system, two different theoretical models were tested. The experimental values were found to fit well with both models. In a mixed flow-through reactor system, the constituents release became stoichiometric when the input solution had an alkaline pH. The dissolution rates for struvite pellets were found to decrease with increasing pH due to proton promoted dissolution. After a transition from around 7.5 to 8, the rate of dissolution increased with the increase in pH, because of the hydroxyl promoted dissolution.

Experimental research of the kinetics of the decomposition process of Kovdorsky apatite with a size = 0.16 mm with sulfuric acid in a 1 dm3 batch reactor. Phosphoric acid with the concentration of 68.6 % wt and the sulfuric acid with the concentration of 12.3% wt in stoichiometric amount was introduces at the beginning of the process. The process was carried out at a ratio of liquid and solid phases 2.5:1 respectively at the boiling point of the mixture equal to 136 °C. The observing the progress was carried out according to the method of joint designation of sulfuric and phosphoric acids by titrimetric analysis. With methyl orange and then phenolphthalein 2 titration jumps were recorded, the first of which corresponded to the neutralization of sulfuric acid to Na2SO4 and phosphoric acid to NaH2PO4, the second to the neutralization of NaH2PO4 to Na2HPO4. The change in temperature of the reaction mixture was fixed during the process using a mercury thermometer. In the analysis of the derived experimental values of specified parameters that the boiling point decreases from 136 to 133.1 оС within 50 minutes during the process. A comparison of the reported values with the concentration values of sulfuric and phosphoric acids measured during the process shows that the change in boiling point of the reaction mixture is proportional to the change in the concentrations of sulfuric and phosphoric acids. This model is a closed system that provides thermal insulation and no loss of material balance. Thus, the kinetics of the decomposition of apatite with sulfuric acid at the boiling point can be monitored by the temperature change under specified conditions.

Environmental context. Uranium-phosphate minerals have been identified as a long-term controlling phase that limit the mobility of uranium to groundwater in many contaminated subsurface environments. Complex, coupled processes confound the ability to isolate the rates attributed to individual processes. Results of this investigation provide the necessary information to refine current prediction on the release and long-term fate of uranium in subsurface environments. Abstract. The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a series of single-pass flow-through (SPFT) tests to (1) quantify the effect of temperature (23–90°C) and pH (6–10) on meta-torbernite dissolution; (2) compare the dissolution of meta-torbernite to other autunite-group minerals; and (3) evaluate the effect of aqueous phosphate on the dissolution kinetics of meta-torbernite. Results presented here illustrate meta-torbernite dissolution rates increase by ~100× over the pH interval of 6 to 10, irrespective of temperature. The power law coefficient for meta-torbernite, η = 0.59 ± 0.07, is greater than that quantified for Ca-meta-autunite, η = 0.42 ± 0.12. This suggests the stability of meta-torbernite is greater than that of meta-autunite, which is reflected in the predicted stability constants. The rate equation for the dissolution of meta-torbernite as a function of aqueous phosphate concentration is log rdissol (mol m–2 s–1) = –4.7 × 10–13 + 4.1 × 10–10[PO43–].

ABSTRACTAs a first step toward understanding the effects of radiation damage on element release rates from Ti-bearing waste forms, we performed single-pass flow-through (SPFT) experiments with 239Pu- and 238U-bearing ceramics over a solution pH-interval of 2 to 10 at 90°C. The ceramics tested are chemically complex and are dominated volumetrically by betafite (Ti-pyrochlore) (ABTi2O7) (A = Ca2+, Gd3+, B = Gd3+, Hf4+, Pu4+, U4/6+). The 239Pu-bearing specimens contained 11.9 mass% PuO2 and 23.7 mass% UO2. In addition, a 238Pu-bearing (11.8 and 23.9 mass% PuO2 and UO2, respectively) specimen was tested at pH = 2, 90°C. The 239Pu-bearing specimens slowly released Pu to solution (rate = 7.6x10-6 g m-2 d-1), even at pH = 2. Release of elements across the pH interval investigated exhibits a weak amphoteric behavior. Compared to results from the 239Pu-bearing materials, the 238Pu-bearing specimen released Pu >1000X faster (rate = 9.3x10-3 g m-2 d-1) at pH = 2. Release rates of U, Gd, and Hf are also faster from the 238Pu-bearing ceramic compared to the specimen containing 239Pu. Although preliminary, the data can be interpreted to indicate that accumulation of radiation damage may result in faster release of Pu and U to solution than previously suspected.

Optofluidic sensors based on periodic arrays of subwavelength apertures that support surface plasmon resonance can be employed as both optical sensors and nanofluidic structures. In flow-through operation, the nanoapertures experience pressure differences across the substrate in which they are fabricated, which imposes the risk for structural failure. This work presents an investigation of the deflection and structural stability of nanohole array-based optofluidic sensors operating in flow-through mode. The analysis was approached using experiments, simulations via finite element method, and established theoretical models. The results depict that certain areas of the sensor deflect under pressure, with some regions suffering high mechanical stress. The offset in the deflection values between theoretical models and actual experimental values is overturned when only the effective area of the substrate, of 450 µm, is considered. Experimental, theoretical, and simulation results suggest that the periodic nanostructures can safely operate under trans-membrane pressures of up to 20 psi, which induce deflections of up to ~20 μm.

It is shown th at factors previously recognized, but not regarded as critical, can dominate dissolution kinetics of ionic oxides. The use of the nearly perfect {100} MgO surfaces of smoke cubes to obtain very precise values of dissolution rates per unit surface area, in dilute HC1, HC1O 4 and HNO 3 , has shown th at rates extrapolated to zero dissolution are almost independent of pH in the range 2.0- 3.5. Dissolution rates were measured by monitoring solution pH as a function of time. This revealed increasing rates with increasing pH up to about 5 % total dissolution, followed ultimately by a return to the linear relation between Ig(rate) and pH (slope ca. — 0.5) normally expected. The initial increase in rate is due to increasing [Mg 2+ ] in solution and is observed with [Mg 2+ ] as low as 1 % of the [H + ]. A linear relation between lg(rate) and [Mg 2+ ] is found during the early stages of dissolution. Other cations (Al 3 +, Na + ) also increase the initial rate, to a similar extent. Electron-microscope observations of the cubes show alteration of the surfaces to a castellated structure (of {100}-based projections and intrusions) on wetting before dissolution, and the development of facets having an average (110}-natureduring dissolution. The results are in conflict with current theoretical models, and a qualitative account of the mechanism of the establishment of a ‘ stable ’ solution double layer is given.

ABSTRACTThe modelling of radionuclide release from waste forms is an important part of the performance assessment of a potential, high-level radioactive waste repository. Since spent fuel consists of UO2 containing actinide elements and other fission products, it is necessary to determine the principal parameters affecting UO2 dissolution and quantify their effects on the dissolution rate before any prediction of long term release rates of radionuclides from the spent fuel can be made.
