Abstract

Most of iodine was captured by the block when NaI solution flowed through a bentonite block sorbed silver to retard the migration of iodine released from high-level radioactive wastes. In order to understand in detail the mechanism for the retardation of the iodine by the silver ion, X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectra of the silver sorbed bentonite before and after the contact with iodide were compared with those of AgO, $Ag_2O$ and AgI as references. This examination suggests that the silver ion sorbed on the bentonite is desorbed, and then it retards the migration of iodine by forming the cluster of AgI precipitate.

고준위방사성폐기물에서 유출되어 나오는 아이오딘의 이동을 저지하기 위하여 은을 흡착시킨 벤토나이트 블록에 NaI 용액을 흘려주었을 때 대부분의 아이오딘이 흡착되었다. 이 은이온에 의한 아이오딘의 저지 메커니즘을 상세히 조사하기 위하여 아이오딘과 접촉하기 전후의 은이 흡착된 벤토나이트의 X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES)와 Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) 스펙트 럼과 표준물질로서 AgO, $Ag_2O$, AgI의 스펙트럼을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 벤토나이트에 흡착되었던 은이 떨어져 나와 AgI 침전 클러스터를 형성함으로서 아이오딘의 이동이 지연되는 것으로 생각된다.
