abstract = {Radium-226 is an important radionuclide with respect to the
long-term safety of repositories for low and
intermediate-level radioactive wastes, as well as deep
geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste and
spent nuclear fuel. To evaluate its mobility in the
engineered barrier system of a repository, the sorption of
radium on calcium-silicate hydrates (CSH), which form the
major hydration phases in cementitious materials, was
studied. Radium sorption to CSH was found to be very fast,
leading to steady-state between solid and liquid phase after
less than four days. The dependency of the equilibrium
distribution ratios on radium concentration, the calcium to
silicon ratio in CSH, liquid to solid ratio, and temperature
was investigated, and estimates of apparent activation
energy, reaction enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of the
sorption process were derived. Radium sorption on CSH can be
described by linear isotherms with Rd values mostly in the
order of 104 L/kg. Radium sorption was found to be an
exothermic and spontaneous reaction probably governed by
chemical reaction rather than diffusion. As expected, the
presence of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) at low
concentrations led only to a small decrease in radium
sorption, due to the strong competition of dissolved calcium
for EDTA complexation. A comparison of the sorption behavior
of various alkaline earth elements used as chemical analogs
for radium confirmed the significant difference in the Rd
values with sorption on CSH decreasing in the order Ra > Ba
