Effect of Coupled Dissolution and Redox Reactions on Cr(VI)(aq) Attenuation during Transport in the Sediments under Hyperalkaline Conditions

Abstract

ABSTRACT - Cr 1: Millions of liters of high temperature, Al-rich, hyperalkaline, and saline high-level waste (HLW) fluids accidentally leaked to the vadose zone at the Hanford Site, WA...Cr2: Discharges of Al-rich, hyperalkaline (pH > 13.5) and extremely saline high-level nuclear waste (HLW) at elevated temperatures (> 50 0C), that possibly contained as much as 0.41 mol L-1 Cr, has been leaked to the sediments at the Hanford Site (WA)...
