Radionuclide and Metal Sorption on Cement and Concrete

Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants. T

Preface

This book presents a full state-of-the-art review and critical evaluation of the type and magnitude of the various sorption and incorporation processes in hydrated cement systems that are responsible for the retention properties of cementitious materials towards radionuclides and metals from a variety of radioactive and industrial wastes. The book is triggered by and based on two reports commissioned by the Belgian Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Materials ONDRAF/NIRAS, which are both authored or co-authored by the authors of this book. While these reports were ultimately aimed at providing key sorption values for the safety anal
