Aluminum Effect on Dissolution and Precipitation under Hyperalkaline Conditions: II. solid Phase Transformations

Abstract

The radioactive waste fluids stored in the tanks that have accidentally leaked into the vadose zone at the Hanford Site, WA, were high temperature, Al-rich, concentrated alkaline and saline solutions. In addition to dissolution, precipitation is likely to occur when these waste fluids contact the sediments...
