Summary

Estimates of Technetium (Tc) solubility under conditions relevant to the Saltwaste Disposal Facility (SDF) were calculated using Geochemist’s Workbench (GWB), Release 11 (Bethke and Yeakel, 2018a, b, c, d) and PHREEQC (Parkhurst and Appelo, 1999). The Geochemist’s Workbench software has been previously validated to successfully implement the underlying theory and algorithms utilized in the current application (Pabalan and Sabido, 2007). Similar modeling efforts have been conducted by M. Denham (2008), Cantrell and Williams (2012), and Li and Kaplan (2013) using the GWB software package.

None of the widely available thermodynamic databases has all of the required constants

for both Tc aqueous species and solid phases of interest, i.e., TcO2-c(s), TcO2.1.6H2O(s) and

TcO2.2H2O(s). For the GWB calculations, the LLNL thermodynamic database

(thermos.com.V8.R6+.dat) was used with limited documented changes (see Appendix). The current modeling effort generally reflects the modified thermodynamic database utilized by Li and Kaplan (2013). Current Benchmark Examples

Table 1 provides results from a common solubility calculation for barite (BaSO4) that has been previously used to compare the results from different modeling efforts. The molar solubility and activity reported by Pabalan and Sabido (2007) and Li and Kaplan (2013) are consistent with current modeling results. Table 1. Solubility of barite in pure water.

Figure 1 provides an initial benchmark example that is directly relevant to the current

modeling results, i.e. the stability diagram for TcO2.1.6H2O(s) as a function of pH at Eh = -0.4 V

under ideal conditions. The results are graphed in terms of the log activity of Tc, which is essentially the same as the total molar Tc solubility under these conditions. Similar diagram for TcO2-c(s) and TcO2

.2H2O(s) are provided later in the discussion below. The current phase diagram is consistent with previous results reported by Wang et al. (2009) and Li and Kaplan (2013). Furthermore, the molar solubility of TcO2.1.6H2O(s) and TcO2.2H2O(s) at fixed pH 8.0 and Eh =

respectively. Note that in both instances, the precipitation of other potential Tc containing solid phases was suppressed so that results were limited to only the specific solid phase of interest.

Solubility of TcO2·1.6H2O and TcO2·2H2O in Reducing Saltstone Leachates The solubility of TcO2

.1.6H2O(s), TcO2.2H2O(s), and TcO2(s) as a function of pH and Eh in

the presence of saltstone leachates was estimated using four different test chemistries (Table 3). Two of the leachate chemistries were based on data from Cantrell and Williams (2012) for crushed saltstone in contact with 0.005M Ca(OH)2 under anoxic conditions at day 14 and day 84 of a single-pass flow through experiment. Two additional leachate chemistries are based on chemical analysis of the first (1st PV DLM) and fifth (5th PV DLM) pore volume exchange of saltstone leachate from Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) Dynamic Leaching Method (DLM) experiments. Data from Cantrell and Williams (2012) were used for any missing analytes from the DLM data sets. It is interesting to note that the composition of the solutions from Cantrell and Williams (2012) are quite similar to the DLM leachates (“14 Day Saltwaste” vs. “1st PV DLM”; “84 Day Saltwaste” vs. “5th PV DLM”), especially with respect to the more soluble components, e.g., Na+, K+, NO3

-, and SO42-.

Initial estimates of Tc solubility for TcO2.1.6H2O(s) in the fourteen day saltstone leachate

(fixed pH 12.66 and Eh -0.38 V) from Cantrell and Williams (2012) are provided in Table 4. The results are reported in terms of total Tc in solution, regardless of aqueous Tc speciation. Solubility estimates from previous modeling efforts are provided for comparison. Current estimates are a bit higher than Li and Kaplan (2013) and Denham (2008), but very similar to Cantrell and Williams (2012).

results are a bit higher than Li and Kaplan (2013) and very similar to Cantrell and Williams (2012).

A comparison of TcO2.1.6H2O(s), TcO2

.2H2O(s), and TcO2(s) solubility in three different leachates (see Table 3) is provided in Tables 7, 8 and 9. All are reported in terms of total Tc in solution, regardless of aqueous Tc speciation. As expected, the TcO2(s) is more insoluble than either TcO2

.1.6H2O(s) or TcO2.2H2O(s) under the conditions tested. The higher Tc solubility

calculated for the 84 Day Saltwaste solution compared to the DLM and 14 Day Saltwaste solutions is largely the impact of the higher Eh and pH conditions, as the solubility of the three Tc solid phases is highly sensitive to pH and Eh in that region of the stability field.

What follows is a series of stability and solubility diagrams for TcO2.1.6H2O(s),

TcO2.2H2O(s), and TcO2(s) that graphically illustrate the impact of pH and Eh on Tc solubility.

For the stability diagrams, the results are reported in terms of the log molar activity of Tc as a function of pH at a set Eh under ideal conditions, i.e., ionic strength ≈ 0. As such the molar activity for Tc is essentially the same as the total molar Tc in solution. In addition to the stability diagrams for each solid phase, the direct Tc solubility was calculated over a range of pH conditions in three different test solution cases, i.e., Ideal (i.e., ionic strength ≈ 0), 1st PV DLM and 5th PV DLM (Table 3), at different fixed Eh values. The results are reported in terms of total molar Tc in solution, regardless of aqueous Tc speciation. These diagrams clearly illustrate the impact of pH and Eh on Tc solubility across a range of conditions. However, the impact of ionic strength on Tc solubility is much less obvious when plotted in terms of log Tc mol L-1. Although it is difficult to tell, Tc solubility for all three phases increases from the Ideal case to the 5th PV DLM solution and then the more concentrated 1st PV DLM solution, reflecting the impact of ionic strength on the Tc activity in solution.
