Abstract:

The uptake of beryllium by hardened cement paste (HCP, with CEM I 42,5 N BV/SR/LA type) in degradation stage I was investigated with a series of batch sorption experiments with 10$^{-6}$ M ≤ [Be(II)]0 ≤ 10$^{-2.5}$ M and 2 g·L$^{-1}$ ≤ [S/L] ≤ 50 g·L$^{-1}$. All experiments were performed under Ar atmosphere at T = (22 ± 2) °C. Solubility limits calculated for α-Be(OH)$_{2}$(cr) in the conditions of the cement pore water were used to define the experimental window in the sorption experiments. Beryllium sorbs strongly on HCP under all of the investigated conditions, with log Rd ≈ 5.5 (Rd in L⋅kg$^{-1}$). Sorption isotherms show a linear behavior with a slope of ≈+1 (log [Be(II)]$_{solid}$ vs. log [Be(II)]$_{aq}$) over four orders of magnitude (10$^{-8}$ M ≤ [Be(II)]$_{aq}$ ≤ 10$^{-4}$ M), which confirm that the uptake is controlled by sorption processes and that solubility phenomena do not play any role within the considered boundary conditions. The similar uptake observed for beryllium in calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) phases supports that the C-S-H phases are the main sink of Be(II) in cement. The strong uptake observed for Be(II) agrees with the findings reported for heavier metal ions, e.g., Zn(II), Eu(III), Am(III), or Th(IV). ... mehr
