Uptake Of Uranium By Carbonate Crystallization From Reduced And Oxidized Hydrothermal Fluids
CHEMICAL GEOLOGY(2021)
摘要
This work evaluated the immobilization of uranium (U) through incorporation into calcite under reduced and oxidized conditions. We investigated how much U could be entrapped by calcite crystallizing in chloride solutions in autoclaves at temperatures from 162 to 300 degrees C. The oxidation state of U was set by controlling oxygen fugacity via redox buffers. Uranium was introduced into calcite growth media as a solid oxide compound or U aliquot. We found the uptake of tetravalent U by calcite is higher than that of hexavalent U by up to four orders of magnitude. We estimate that crystallization of a few mg of calcite immobilizes all dissolved U when 1 kg of solution is saturated with UO2 under reduced hydrothermal conditions.
