[2I13] Leaching of potassium and metakaolin based geopolymer and mechanical properties under electron irradiation
キーワード:Geopolymer, irradiation, ion- exchange, hardness, leaching
Geopolymers are inorganic polymers composed of AlO4 and SiO4 tetrahedral structural units and a three-dimensional network structure. The stability of geopolymer under irradiation is important. After the decommissioning of JMTR, the geopolymer treatment method for difficult waste ion exchange. In this research, the potassium and metakaolin-based geopolymer with different water content have been synthesized. The Vickers hardness will be measure before and after irradiated by ETIGO-Ⅲ at a peak voltage 2MeV, current 5kA and a pulse with of 100 ns at room temperature from one to four shots. The relative weight change was measured during curing, the result showed that higher water content relative weight decreases more, however not so much different (the range of relative weight decrease was from 10% to 14%). Leaching experiments will be used to detect the compaction of geopolymers for radioactive aluminum ions.
