The radionuclide cesium (Cs) was solidified using magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) cement. The influence of Cs on the reaction of the M-S-H gel system was evaluated by measuring the compressive strength and microscopic properties of the solidified body. By testing the impact resistance, leaching resistance and freeze-thaw resistance of the solidified body, the immobilizing ability of Cs by the M-S-H cement was analyzed. Results indicate that Cs only slightly affects the reaction process of the M-S-H gel system, and only slows down the transformation rate of Mg(OH) into the M-S-H gel to a certain extent. The M-S-H cement exhibits superior performance in solidifying Cs. Both the leaching rate and cumulative leach fraction at 42 d were considerably lower than the national requirements and better than the ordinary Portland cement-solidified body. The curing effect of the M-S-H cement on Cs is mainly physical encapsulation and chemisorption of hydration products.
采用水合硅酸镁(M-S-H)水泥对放射性核素铯(Cs)进行固化。通过测量固化体的抗压强度和微观性能,评估了Cs对M-S-H凝胶体系反应的影响。通过测试固化体的抗冲击性、抗浸出性和抗冻融性,分析了M-S-H水泥对Cs的固化能力。结果表明,Cs仅对M-S-H凝胶体系的反应过程有轻微影响,仅在一定程度上减缓了Mg(OH)向M-S-H凝胶的转化率。M-S-H水泥在固化Cs方面表现出优异的性能。42 d时的浸出率和累积浸出分数均远低于国家要求,且优于普通硅酸盐水泥固化体。M-S-H水泥对Cs的固化效果主要是水化产物的物理包裹和化学吸附。
