Precipitates/Salts Model Results for THC Abstraction

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this calculation is to assist Performance Assessment Operations (PAO) and the Engineered Barrier Performance Department in modeling the geochemical environment within a repository drift, thus allowing PAO to provide a more detailed and complete in-drift geochemical model abstraction and to answer the key technical issues (KTI) raised in the NRC Issue Resolution Status Report (IRSR) for the Evolution of the Near Field Environment (NFE) Revision 2 (NRC 1999). This calculation is associated to the activity directed by written development plan, Prode Sub-Models for the Physical and Chemical Environmental Abstraction Modelfor 7VPA-L4 (CRWMS M&O 1999a) and is developed using procedure AP3.12Q, CalculA2ions, Rev. 0, ICN 1.

The specific objective and scope of this calculation are to document the Precipitates/Salts model calculations performed for the thermohydrological-chemical (THC) abstraction. The Precipitates/Salts model was developed in Precipitates/&Aats Analysis AAR (CRWMS M&O 2000) according to procedure AP-3.10Q Analyses and Models, Rev. 2, ICN 0. It is used to estimate the pIt chloride concentration, and ionic strength of water on the drip shield or other location within the drift during the post-closure period resulting from evaporative processes.

The major inputs for the current calculation differ from those for the calculations performed in the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000) in the following ways:

@ Instead of average J-13 well water, the incoming seepage is represented by the THC abstractions for three periods from 50 to 100,000 years.

a Instead of a variable fugacity of carbon dioxide, the fugacity is fixed at the THC abstraction values in each period.

a Instead of a variable temperature for each incoming seepage composition, the temperature is fixed at abstracted values, except for the final period, in which the temperature is varied between 250C, 500C, and 75C.

9 A new history of mean relative humidity (RH) is used to calculate results when relative humidity is below 85 percent.

2. METHOD

The Precipitates/Salts model developed in Precipittes/5/•is An*aysis AR (CRWMS M&O 2000) was used to perform the calculations in this document. The model incorporates two submodels, the High Relative Humidity (HRH) model and the Low Relative Humidity (LRH) model. These models, listed and summarized in Section 4, are explained in detail in Precipitates/lSds AnalYsis AAM (CRWMS M&O 2000), as are the methods of calculation. Any deviations from these methods are explained in detail in Sections 3 and 5. Control of electronic management of data, as required by AP-SV.1Q, Control of the Electronic Management of Data, was accomplished in accordance with the controls specified the development plan.

Precipitates/Salts Model Results for THC Abstraction

3. ASSUMPTIONS

The assumptions are nearly identical to those described in Section 5 of PrecipitatesdWas Analysis AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). The only differences are described in the following subsections.

3.1 RELATIVE HUMIDITY VERSUS TIME

The LRH salts model requires an estimate of RH over time at the location where the salts model is applied. The location within the drift environment where RH is the lowest and temperature is highest over time is the within the invert It is assumed in this calculation that the predicted mean RH history within the invert is a reasonable approximation for the LRH model simulations (Assumption 3.1).

Uncertainty in the relative humidity predictions will not affect the pH, Cl concentration, and ionic strength predicted by the LRH salts model. The model only requires an estimate of the timing of these relative humidity values as a seed to generate the results which are independent of time. Thus, the timing of these relative humidity values is irrelevant in the final results. This assumption is considered reasonable for the bounding calculations performed and is therefore not TBV. This assumption replaces Assumption 5.2.4.1 stated in the Precipitates/Salts MR (CRWMS M&O 2000) and is used in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.2.

3.2 INCOMING NITRATE CONCENTRATION

The incoming seepage data provided by the THC abstraction (Table 1) do not include values for nitrate. Nitrate concentrations are necessary for the LRH model. It is assumed that the concentration ratio of nitrate to chloride in the THC-abstracted incoming seepage water is equivalent to that in average J-13 well water (Assumption 3.2). The basis for this assumption is the generally unreactive behavior of both chloride and nitrate. This assumption is reasonable and will not considerably affect the results of the model. Therefore, this assumption, which is used in Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, is not TBV.

3.3 SOLUBLE SULFATE

In the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000), the carbonate concentration determined as input to the LRH salts model was assumed to be the "soluble" carbonate determined by the HRH model (Assumption 5.5.7, CRWMS M&O 2000). .The "soluble" carbonate was determined from the HRH model by evaporating water to 85 percent relative humidity (i.e., a water activity of 0.5). The carbonate that was in solution at that point was considered "soluble" because it excluded the carbonate that had precipitated. Beyond this point, the remaining "soluble" carbonate could only form soluble K or Na salts in significant quantities. There was no need to make a similar determination for sulfate because no sulfate had precipitated at that point or sulfate precipitation was negligible.

In the current calculation, sulfate precipitates considerably in HRH model results. Thus, both the incoming carbonate and sulfate concentrations used in the LRH model are assumed to be the "soluble" carbonate and sulfate concentrations determined by the HRH model at a water activity

of 0.85 (Assumption 3.3). This reasonable assumption is consistent with the basis of Assumption 5.5.7 of CRWMS M&O (2000) and is used for all LRH calculations (Section 6.2.2). It does not affect the uncertainty in the model and is therefore not designated TBV.

4. USE OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND MODELS

4.1 MODELS

The Precipitates/Salts model developed in Precipitates/Salts Anayss AAR (CRWMS M&O 2000) was used to perform the calculations in this document. The model incorporates two submodels, the Low Relative Humidity (LRH) model and the High Relative Humidity (HRH) model, also developed in CRWMS M&O (2000). These two sub-models are designed to provide a piece-wise continuous Precipitates/Salts model for relative humidity values from 0 to 100 percent.

The LRH model is used when the relative humidity is low (below about 85 percent), and the HRH model is used at higher relative humidity (above about 85 percent). The LRH model consists of a set of algebraic calculations performed within a MathSoft Mathcad version 7 file. The HRH model is simulated using the geochemical code EQ3/6 version 7.2b. These models are validated in CRWMS M&O (2000).

Use of the Precipitates/Salts model in this calculation is justified because the model was specifically designed to perform these calculations (CRWMS M&O 2000).

4.2 SOFTWARE

The HRH model calculations were performed using the code EQ3/6 v7.2b (CRWMS M&O 1999b) [CSCI: URCL-MA-110662 V7.2b, Wolery 1992a and 1992b, Wolery and Daveler 1992] with the solid-centered flow-through addendum [CSCI: URCL-MA-l 10662 V7.2b, MI: 30084M04-001 (Addendum Only), CRWMS M&O 1998]. This software code was obtained from Configuration Management and installed on an IBM-compatible computer. It is appropriate for the application and was used only within the range of validation in accordance with AP-SL IQ Sofware Aazgement and the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). The Precipitates/Salts AMR. restricts the use of this code to a water activity of about 0.85 and higher.

MathSoft Mathcad 7 Professional, a commercially-available software package for technical calculations, was used to execute the LRH model. This software performed and displayed the routine algebraic calculations developed in Section 6A.1 of the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). These equations and all calculations, shown in their entirety in Attachments IL a, and IV, have been hand-checked using a calculator to verify the software provided correct results. Ths software was appropriate for the application and used within the range of model validation established in the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000).

Microsoft Excel97, a commercially-available spreadsheet software package, was used to perform simple averaging and interpolation calculations and to chart data. Validation of the spreadsheet calculations was done by comparing input and output data in charts imbedded in the worksheets

(DTN: MO0002SPABIN46.00). Visual inspection of these charts confirms that the spreadsheet application provided correct results.

4.3 SOFTWARE ROUTINES

No software routines were used.

5. CALCULATION

Section 5.1 presents the data and parameter values used as input to the calculation, and Section 5.2 describes the calculations performed.

5.1 INPUT DATA AND PARAMETER VALUES

The calculation requires the following types of input: 1) relevant thermodynamic properties of potentially important ground-water constituents, and 2) values for model input parameters.

5.1.1 Thermodynamic Constants and Salt Properties

The thermodynamic data used in the calculations are developed and documented in the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). The HRH model uses the developed PT4 database (DTN: MO9912SPAPT4PD.001) which is currently to be verified (1'BV). The LRH model references the salt properties displayed in Tables 1 and 2 of CRWMS M&O (2000).

5.1.2 Input Parameters

The Precipitates/Salts model input parameters are:

0 Concentration or activity of each modeled component I in the incoming seepage (C,) * Temperature (7) * Relative humidity (RH) * Fugacity of carbon dioxide (fco2) * Seepage rate (Q1) * Relative evaporation rate (R")

The relative evaporation rate (or flux) (/f) refers to the steady state evaporation flux (Q divided by (or relative to) the incoming seepage rate (or flux) (Q):

R' =Q- (Eq. ) Q,

The model is designed for a range of)?" from 0 to 1. The values used in this analysis are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.9, 0.99, and 0.999. These values are used to generate lookup tables that are intended to cover the range of values anticipated.

In this analysis, representative waters from three periods of time were used as incoming seepage. The specific compositions originate from the THC results. The abstracted representative incoming water compositions, temperatures, and CO0 (g) volume ftractions in the air for these periods are displayed in Table 1. These data are currently TBV.

As explained in Section 3.2, the ratio of nitrate to chloride in average J-13 well water is needed to estimate the concentration of nitrate in the THC-abstracted incoming seepage water. The nitrate:chloride ratio in the J-13 well water is 0.70:1 (DTN: LL980711104242.054).

In the calculation, T was varied between three values (750C, 500C, and 250C) for Period 4 to develop a response surface intended to cover the range of values anticipated in this period. RfI and Tas a function of time were developed as described in Section 5.2.1 from recent calculations for the invert. The acquired data used to develop the T and Ri! histories came from the following files in DTN: SN0001T0872799.006:

5.2 CALCULATIONS

Before the Precipitates/Salts model calculation could be performed, the relative humidity as a function of time had to determined. This initial calculation is developed in Section 5.2.1. The Precipitates/Salts model calculations are addressed in Section 5.2.2.

5.2.1 Relative Humidity and Temperature History

From the files listed in Section 5.1.2 (DTN: SN0001T0872799.006) mean, bin-averaged values for Rff and T for the invert were determined for the LRH model. These overall means were calculated by taking the bin-weighted averages of RM and T for numerous values of time from 0 to 100,000 years. The actual times that were used to determine the bin-weighted averages were selected such that the resolution ofRfl and Tas a function of time was captured.

Bin-weighted averages were calculated using the following equation:

YI -2YkIWbj (Eq. 2) b

where Yi is the overall bin-weighted mean RH or T at time i, yb,i is the mean RH or T for subset b of bins at time i, wb, is the bin weight of subset b of bins at time L. The summation of the bin weights for the bin subsets at time I equals one (i.e., : = 1).

b Many of the RPH and T values in the files are not for common times. As a result, interpolations had to be made for bin subsets before bin-weighted averages could be calculated. For the interpolations a linear relationship between RH and the logarithm of time (log t) and between T and log t were imposed such that:

A = 10gt9t7 1 -iogt 1_- (logte -logti.,)+y +..+ (Eq. 3) YAM~ - YO•-1

where i+1 and i-1 are the nearest values in the acquired data file to time ti.

5.2.2 Predpitates/alts Model

The HRH model calculations were performed using the solid-centered flow-through mode of EQ3/6 version 7.2b according to the procedures described in Section 6.4.2.2 of the

C.AtL-EBS -PA-000 REV OD 10 Am2000

Page 11: Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management …S. Lead James Nowak 4A 2 fr, p1 9. Remarks This calculation uses the Precipbtates/Salts model developed In the In-Drift Precipltates/Salts

Precipitates/Salts Model Results for THC Abstation

Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). The only difference in the calculations were due to the different input values.

The LRH model calculations were performed according to Section 6.4.1 of the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000). These calculations were performed using the Mathcad 7 files displayed in Appendices IlI Il, and IV of this report.

For the LRH model there were three parameter values that were changed other than the adjustments to the incoming seepage composition explained in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. Two were the times at which the RN is determined to reach 50 peent and 85 percent They were set at 450 years and 1300 years based on the results of the calculation described in Section 5.2.1 (The results displayed in Figure 1.). The other change was the effective solubility of the non-nitrate salts. This value was adjusted to 2.9 or 3.0 molal to provide a smooth transition between the LRH and HRH model results. The values used to provide a smooth transition for J-13 seepage water ranged from 3.6 to 4.1 molal (CRWMS M&O 2000).

It is restated here that the ionic strength (/) parameter of the Precipitates/Salts model is not the true ionic strength. Instead, it is an approximation based on the following equation:

I=C4 +Cr +4(Cc, +Ct) (Eq. 4)

where C1 is the molality of component L For an explanation, refer to Section 6.3.2 of the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000).

6. RESULTS

Section 6.1 presents the results of the relative humidity and temperature predictions over time. Section 6.2 presents the results of the Precipitates/Salts model using THC inputs.

6.1 RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE HISTORY

The results of the averaging and interpolation of relative humidity and temperature over time are displayed in Figure 1. These results represent the approximated average predicted values and trends for RH and Tfor the invert and in the drift in general (Assumption 3.1). For the purposes of the LRH model, Rllreaches 50 and 85 percent at 450 and 1300 years, respectively.

These calculations are based on RI! and T predictions that are currently unqualified and TBV (DTN: SN0001T0872799.006). The data developed in this calculation (DTN: MO0002SPABIN46.00S) are therefore TBV. However, because these results are used only as a reference in the LRH model calculations to support Assumption 3.1, they do not affect the qualification or TBV status of the LRH model calculations. LRH model output is independent of time and is not a function the exact timing of RH and Tvalues.

6.2 PRECIPITATES/SALTS MODEL RESULTS

The Precipitates/Salts model output consists of calculations for pH, chloride concentration, and ionic strength (in molality) for the input parameter values described in Section 5.1. The results of the HRH and LRH models are presented in Sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, respectively. A complete set of these outputs is summarized in Section 6.2.3 in a set of lookup tables that can be used to interpolate model results for input conditions within the ranges modeled. Finally, the limitations of these calculations are addressed in Section 6.2.4.

6.2.1 High Relative Humidity Model Results

Figure 2 and Figure 3 display the HRH model results for Period 2. These plots show that while Cl and I are highly sensitive to relative evaporation rate, pH remains around 9 in Period 2 and around 8 in Period 3.

Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 show the pH Cl, and I results, respectively, for Period 4 at three different temperaures. These data indicate that the results are not highly sensitive to temperature. Cl and I maintain their strong dependence on relative evaporation rate, and the pH drops to around 7.

6.2.2 Low Relative Humidity Model Results

The results of the LRH model for Cl and I are displayed in Figure 7. These results are approximately the same for each period. In general, the CI concentration is much higher and I is slightly lower than the results for average J-13 well water seepage (CRWMS M&O 2000).

As explained in the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000), the LRH model is insensitive to the value of the incoming seepage flux and the cumulative masses and volumes of salts and brine. Complete Mathcad calculations and files are presented in Attachments ]I, ýI, and IV.

6.2.3 Precipitates/Salts Model Lookup Tables

The outputs required from the Precipitates/Salts model are the values for p-I Cl concentration, and ionic strength for a given set of inputs intended to encompass the likely scenarios that could occur. These outputs are summarized in a set of lookup tables presented in Table 2 through Table 4. The important independent variables are the incoming seepage composition (C'), relative humidity (RU), temperature (7), relative evaporation rate (Ri), and the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fco2). These lookup tables include outputs from the LRH salts model (RU < or =

85 percent) and the HRH salts model (R/I> 85 percent).

As explained in the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000), the LRH salts model incorporates a functional relationship between RI! and time. For the lookup tables, time is avoided as an independent input variable by imposing a linear relationship between RU and time. Increasing RH linearly with time from 50 to 85 percent provides the abstraction used to generate the lookup values for RH less than or equal to 85 percent.

The ionic strength values presented in the lookup tables are an approximation of the tue ionic strength, as described in Section 5.2.2. An additional approximation is required for lookup table pH values when the RIH is less than or equal to 85 percent. Because pH cannot be calculated using the LRH salts model, it is approximated by using the HRH model to perform a simple evaporation of the incoming seepage water to a water activity of 0.85. These values for pH are included in the lookup tables for cases in which RH is less than or equal to 85 percent

Precipitates/Salts Model Results for THC Abstraction

Finally, for the case in which the relative evaporation rate (Rj) is one or greater, the ionic strength and Cl concentrations are set at the values obtained by the LRH model at 85 percent relative humidity for the given carbon dioxide fugacities and temperatures. This is done to approximate a reasonable trsition between the LRH and HRH model results.

Compared to the Precipitates/Salts model results for J-13 water at similar carbon dioxide fulgacities (CRWMS M&O 2000), CI is consistently an order of magnitude higher in the abstracted THC cases due to the higher initial Cl concentrations (Table I). pH is generally lower in the THC cases by approximately two pH units for similar carbon dioxide fugacities, likely due to the higher calcium to carbonate ratios in the THC seepage water (Table 1). Ionic strength values for the THC cases stay approximately in the same range as the J-13 calculations.

6.2.4 Limitations

This document may be affected by technical product input information that requires confirmation. Any changes to the document or its conclusions that may occur as a result of completing the confirmation activities will be reflected in subsequent revisions. The status of the input information quality may be confirmed by review of the Document Input Reference System database.

The Precipitate/Salts model calculations documented in this report (DTNs: MOOOO MWDEQ346.007, MO0002SPALRH46.009, and MO0002SPALOO46.010) are unqualified and TBV because two of the inputs are unqualified and TBV (DTNs: M09912SPAPAI29.002 and MO9912SPAPT4PD.001). Once these input data are confirmed, the resulting calculations can be used without TBV tracking controls. The uncertainty and limitations of these calculations are summarized in the conclusions of the Precipitates/Salts AMR (CRWMS M&O 2000).

PrecdpltatealSalts Model Results for THC Abstrction

Low Relative Humldity (.RH) Salts Model THC Perlod 2 Abstraction

Conceptual Model. Water seeps Into "reactor" (Le, drip shield or backlill) at a constant rate during the period. In the reactor, seepage water vaporizes and salts accumulate. Salts begin to dissolve when the relative hurmidity rises above 50%. This model (LRO) approximates the buldup and dissolution of soluble salts In the Na-K-N-S-Cl-C system. All fluid (brine) generated during each time Interval flows out of reactor at the end of each time Interval; however, mixing is allowed between half time Intervals. The end point Is designed to be equivalent to the evaporative evolution of seepage water to a stolchlometnlc Ionic stren.th of 10 morn9, as calculated using the E0316 Pitzer model. The LRH salts model Is a simplified approximation of sat accumulation and eventual dissolution caused by Increasing relative humidiy. It maintains mass and charge balance and estimates brine generation as a function of effective solublities. Its purpose is to provide bounding and scoping calculations for an evaporite system that has not been deeply studied.

Because nitrate Is not Included in the THC results, Cs1 Is adjusted to achieve a CI:NO3 ratio equivalent to the ratio In average J-13 well water.

Low Relative Humidity (LH) Salts Model 1TC Period 3 Abstraction

Conceptual Model Water seeps Into 'reactor (.e, drip shield or backfill) at a constant rate during the period. In the reactor, seepage water vaporizes and salts accumulate. Salts begin to dissolve when the relative humicdity rises above 50%. This model (LRH) approximates the buildup and dissolution of soluble salts In the Na-K-N-S-CI-C system. All fluid (brine) generated during each time Interval flows out of reactor at the end of each time Interval; however, mixing Is allowed between half time intervals. The end point is designed to be equivalent to the evaporative evolution of seepage water to a stolchlometric Ionic strength of 10 molal, as calculated using the EQ316 Pitzer model. The LRH salts model Is a simprified approximation of salt accumulation and eventual dissolution caused by Increasing relative humidity. It maintains mass and charge balance and estimates brine generation as a function of effective solubiities. Its purpose Is to provide bounding and soeping calculations for an evaporite system that has not been deeply studied.

PreclpltatesSlts Model Results for THC Abstraction

Low Relative Humidity (.RH) Salts Model THC Period 4 Abstraction

Conceptual Model. Water seeps Into "reactor" 0.e, drip shield or backtil) at a constant rate during the period. In Vw reactor, seepage water vaporizes and salts accumulate. Salts begin to dissolve when the relative humidity rises above 50%. This model (LRH) approximates 1ie buildup and dissolution of soluble salts In the Na-K-N-S-Cl-C system. All luid (brine) generated during each time Interval flows out of reactor at the end of each time Interval; however, mixing Is allowed between halftime Intervals. The endpoint Is designed to be equivalent to the evaporative evolution of see age water to a stolchometric Ionic strengith of 10 mola, as calculated using the E03•• Pitzer model. The LRH cbs mode Is a slmpniffed approximation of salt accumulation and eventual dissolution caused by increasing relative humlcd. It maintains mass and charge balance and estimatesrine generation as a function of effective solubilites. its purpose Is to provide bounding and scoping calculations tr an evaporite system that has not been deeply studied.

Seepage - Constant rate and constant composition are assumed.

Because nitrate Is not Included in the THC results, Cs1 is adjusted to achieve a CI:NO3 ratio equivalent to the ratio In average J-13 well water. Cs3 and Cs4 are adjusted to achieve Na:S0 4 and Na.CO3 ratios equivalent to the 0.85-water-actvty solution calculated from the EQ316 Plizer model. Sofuble implies the fraction that precipitates with Na or K.

E - -3.394.10"This charge balance error approximation is E -0.34 , % approximately maintained for the entire calculation.
