摘要
The safety of deep geological repositories is important in the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). In this study, advection-dispersion experiments were designed to build a transport model through a calibration/validation process, and the transport behavior of tritiated water (HTO) and various iodine species (iodide: I- and iodate: IO3-) was studied on a dynamic compacted granite column. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) were plotted under various flow rates (1-5 mL/min). BTCs showed that the non-sorption effect by anion exclusion was observed only in I- transport because the retardation factor (R) of I- was lower than that of HTO (R = 1). Moreover, equilibrium and nonequilibrium transport models were used and compared to identify the mobile/immobile zones in the compacted granite column. The anion exclusion effect was influenced by the immobile zones in the column. The non-sorption effect by anion exclusion (R < 1) was only observed for I- at 5.0 +/- 0.2 mL/min flow rate, and a relatively higher Coulomb's repulsive force may be caused by the smaller hydration radius of I-(3.31 angstrom) than that of IO3-(3.74 angstrom).
