Abstract

The sorption and diffusion of Cs and HTO in compacted bentonite was investigated at temperatures from 30 to 60°C. The apparent (Da) and effective (De) diffusion coefficients were determined by in-diffusion and through-diffusion experiments with a constant boundary concentration maintained. The temperature dependence of De and Da obeyed an Arrhenius-type equation, allowing determination of the activation energy for diffusion of Cs and HTO. The De value of Cs was three times the De of HTO, which is considered to be a result of surface-excess diffusion. Cs may be concentrated near the surface of the negatively charged clay, thus giving a large diffusive flux. The activation energies for Cs diffusion were 21.4×2.8 kJ/mol and 37.3×1.5 kJ/mol as determined based on De and Da, respectively. This difference was due to the temperature dependence of the distribution coefficient Kd of Cs.
