An advanced spent fuel management process based on the Li reduction of oxide spent fuel to a metallic form, under development at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), will generate a LiCl waste. To develop an immobilization process of the LiCl waste salt using zeolite A, the behavior of zeolite A in molten LiCl salt with CsCl and SrCl2 has been investigated at 923 K. All the types of zeolite A’s have been transformed into zeolite Li-A after contact with molten LiCl salt. The sodalite phase has also been formed for the high LiCl/zeolite ratio, and this sodalite formation has been enhanced by an addition of CsCl or SrCl2. These results seem to be caused by the high temperature and Li concentration during the occlusion step. Ion-exchange properties of Cs and Sr at 923 K were very similar to those of the LiCl-KCl eutectic salt at 725 K: an uptake of Cs reached an equilibrium state very rapidly and kept constant, while that of Sr reached a maximum and decreased slightly.

AbstractNatural zeolitic tuff from Brus (Serbia) consisting mostly of clinoptilolite (about 90%) has been investigated for the reduction of the Mg concentration in spring water. The sorption capacity of the zeolite is relatively low (about 2.5 mg Mg g-1for the initial concentration of 100 mg Mg dm-3). The zeolitic tuff removes Mg from water solutions by ion exchange, which has been demonstrated by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). The extent of ion exchange was influenced by the pH and the initial Mg concentration. Kinetic studies revealed that Lagergen's pseudo-second order model was followed. Intra-particle diffusion of Mg2+influenced the ion exchange, but it is not the rate-limiting step. Rather than having to dispose of the Mg-loaded (waste) zeolite, a possible application was tested. Addition to a wastewater with a low concentration of Mg showed that it could successfully make up for the lack of Mg micronutrient and, accordingly, enabled the growth of phosphate-accumulating bacteriaA. Junii, increasing the amount of phosphate removed from the wastewater.
