Aluminum Effect on Dissolution and Precipitation under Hyperalkaline Conditions: I. Liquid Phase Transformations

Abstract

Approximately 3 million liters of high temperature, Al-rich, hyperalkaline, and saline high-level waste fluids (HLWF) from the leaking tanks were deposited to the vadose zone at the Hanford Site, WA. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Al, hyperalkalinity and hypersalinity on dissolution in the Hanford sediments treated with solutions similar to HLWF...
