    English, Scientific journal, Lead (Pb) bioavailability differs depending on the specific Pb species present in the area. Adding organic and inorganic soil amendments can ameliorate the mobility of Pb in the soil. However, there is a scarcity of in vivo studies investigating the impact of these amendments on mammals via environmentally realistic exposure pathways. We evaluated the accumulation of Pb in blood and tissues of mice living on soils spiked with one of three Pb species (hydrocerussite [2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2], lead sulfate [PbSO4], and lead sulfide [PbS]) and compared the efficacy of phosphate (triple super phosphate [TSP] or phosphoric acid) or liming (calcined dolomite) amendments in reducing Pb accumulation from these soils via realistic exposure pathways. The Pb species in the spiked soil were investigated via X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) spectroscopy. C57/BL6 mice (six per group) were exposed to both Pb-spiked and amended soils by housing them on the soil for three months and thus simulating realistic exposure pathways. XANES analysis revealed that Pb carbonates were the dominant phase in all Pb-spiked soils. The group exposed to 2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2 had the greatest Pb accumulation in brain, trachea, kidneys, liver, bone, and blood, but not lungs, whereas the PbS-exposed group accumulated more Pb in the lungs. TSP was the most effective chemical stabilizer of the three amendments, facilitating reductions in the 2PbCO3·Pb(OH)2, PbSO4, and PbS exposure groups of 68-88%, 44-62%, and 6-49%, respectively. This suggests that chemical remediation using phosphate sources may be effective for immobilizing various Pb species in soils.

  • Review of secondary phases formed under natural alkaline conditions at low temperatures and implications for cement–bentonite interactions in radioactive waste repositories

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    The alteration of bentonite under alkaline conditions and the subsequent changes in properties such as permeability and self-sealing ability should be evaluated for the performance assessment of radioactive waste repositories. As the period of evaluation for alterations is extremely long, natural analog (NA) studies that can observe long-term phenomena similar to the system of radioactive waste repositories have significant advantages. However, locations that can be set up as NA study sites with significant similarity are limited and should be pursued by localizing analog systems. This literature review summarized studies reporting secondary phases formed at low temperatures (<100°C) under a broader range of natural sites which are chemically similar to the alkaline conditions expected at bentonite in radioactive waste repositories, including near pyrometamorphic rocks, near ophiolites, and in alkaline saline lakes. This review provides insights into the species, formation conditions, and stability of secondary phases that could be formed during cement–bentonite interactions and the timescale for mineralogical transitions from a metastable to a stable phase. The findings could be useful for selecting secondary phases to be considered in reactive transport modeling for predicting cement–bentonite interactions in radioactive waste repositories.
  • Immobilization Forms of Cadmium and Mercury in a Potassium-Activated Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer
    Pramesti Prihutami; Raudhatul Islam Chaerun; Yusuke Ohya; Tsubasa Otake; Ryosuke Kikuchi; Tsutomu Sato
    Minerals, 14, 3, 311, 311, MDPI AG, 15 Mar. 2024, [Peer-reviewed]
    Scientific journal, Previous studies of cadmium and mercury immobilization in geopolymers have produced inconsistent results due to their different pozzolans, metal concentrations, and mixing procedures. Understanding the effects of these parameters on heavy metal immobilization is key to predicting their long-term stability. In this study, cadmium and mercury were incorporated into a metakaolin-based K-activated geopolymer by three mixing procedures and concentrations of 0.02–1.00 wt.%. The samples were then immersed in water for 90 d to determine their stability. The results show that mercury is readily leached from the geopolymer, but cadmium is retained. Adding the heavy metals in salt form converts the metals into cadmium hydroxide and mercury oxide that reside at the bottom of the geopolymer. Mixing the salts with water forms soluble heavy metals prior to geopolymerization. This procedure produces more-homogeneous geopolymers. Cadmium is associated with silicate and aluminate, giving a better stability, whereas mercury forms mercury oxide. Different cadmium and mercury concentrations do not change the metal speciation as mercury is affected by relativistic contribution.

  • Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Synthesis of Chromian Spinel from Fe-Cr Hydroxides Using a Flow-Through Reactor
    Ohtomo, Y; Yang, J; Nishikata, M; Kawamoto, D; Kimura, Y; Otake, T; Sato, T
    Minerals, 12, 1110, 1110, 1110, MDPI AG, Aug. 2022, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Recent studies have suggested that a chromian spinel can be formed under natural hydrothermal conditions; however, the required conditions, process, and associated redistribution of Cr are still poorly understood. Here, chromian spinel formation was performed by Fe-Cr hydroxides alteration with an Fe2+(aq) supply at 150, 170, and 200 °C and 5 MPa simulating the diagenetic process. The flow-through system enabled the Fe2+(aq) supply to be leached from the magnetite by an acidic solution to synthesize Fe-Cr hydroxides as the starting material with two reaction cells, flow lines, heaters, and a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pump. The accuracy of the temperature measurement was confirmed based on the amorphous silica solubility. Mineralogical analysis of solid samples recovered from the reaction cell indicated that the chromian spinel was formed between 150 and 170 °C from Fe-Cr hydroxides through goethite with a simultaneous hematite formation, while Mössbauer spectra showed that a large quantity of Fe-Cr ferrihydrites still remained after the experiments probably because of the Cr addition to the stability of ferrihydrites. The Cr/Fe ratio of the chromian spinel was smaller than that of the bulk of the Fe-Cr ferrihydrites and equivalent to Cr-rich magnetite, suggesting a redistribution of Cr during the transformation from goethite to synthesized spinel under the hydrothermal conditions.

  • In Situ EXAFS Study of Sr Adsorption on TiO2(110) under High Ionic Strength Wastewater Conditions

    Scientific journal, In order to provide important details concerning the adsorption reactions of Sr, batch reactions and a set of both ex situ and in situ Grazing Incidence X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (GIXAFS) adsorption experiments were completed on powdered TiO2 and on rutile(110), both reacted with either SrCl2 or SrCO3 solutions. TiO2 sorption capacity for strontium (Sr) ranges from 550 ppm (SrCl2 solutions, second order kinetics) to 1400 ppm (SrCO3 solutions, first order kinetics), respectively, and is rapid. Sr adsorption decreased as a function of chloride concentration but significantly increased as carbonate concentrations increased. In the presence of carbonate, the ability of TiO2 to remove Sr from the solution increases by a factor of ~4 due to rapid epitaxial surface precipitation of an SrCO3 thin film, which registers itself on the rutile(110) surface as a strontianite-like phase (d-spacing 2.8 Å). Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) results suggest the initial attachment is via tetradental inner-sphere Sr adsorption. Moreover, adsorbates from concentrated SrCl2 solutions contain carbonate and hydroxyl species, which results in both inner- and outer-sphere adsorbates and explains the reduced Sr adsorption in these systems. These results not only provide new insights into Sr kinetics and adsorption on TiO2 but also provide valuable information concerning potential improvements in effluent water treatment models and are pertinent in developing treatment methods for rutile-coated structural materials within nuclear power plants.

The effects of process parameters such as effect on bacterial growth, pH and initial lead ion concentration were studied. The results showed that the maximum removal percentage for Pb (II) was 97% at an initial concentration of 50 mg/L whereas maximum removal percentage for Zn (II) was at 54% at an initial concentration of 2 mg/L obtained at pH 6 and 30 °C. The isolated bacteria were found to sequester both Pb (II) and Zn (II) in the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS facilitates ion exchange and metal chelation-complexation by virtue of the existence of ionizable functional groups such as carboxyl, sulfate, and phosphate present in the protein and polysaccharides. Therefore, the use of indigenous bacteria in the remediation of contaminated water is an eco-friendly way of solving anthropogenic contamination.

    Scientific journal, Dredged soils have been used as construction materials by alkaline activation with steel slag (steel slag-dredged soil mixtures) at harbors. Such mixtures develop strength chiefly by calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) formation by the pozzolanic reaction. However, the strength of such mixtures is unpredictable, and in some cases, mixtures have been too soft for the intended engineering application. An identification of strength development indicators would accelerate evaluation processes for strength development to facilitate and promote the utilization of such materials. This paper focuses on the relationship between the characteristics of soil organic matters in dredged soils and the strength development of the mixtures by a comparison of eight dredged soils collected from eight different Japanese harbors. The characteristics of the soil organic matters were identified to determine as indicators of mixtures with weak strength development, i.e., enriched sulfur content in extracted soil organic matter (humic acid) fraction, and the N/C ratio of humic acid similar to land humic acid standards. Increases in the validated fraction of dredged soils and steel slag by replacing fractions disadvantageous to construction resources would contribute to reduce waste production, which would lower the environmental impact of the use, aiming to achieve sustainable utilization of such materials.

    Scientific journal, In radioactive waste disposal facilities, low-permeability engineered barrier materials are important for inhibiting radionuclide migration. However, dissolution–precipitation reactions under alkaline conditions change the permeability of engineered barriers. To understand long-term dissolution–precipitation reactions under alkaline conditions in chemically complex systems, trenches and drill holes were excavated at Narra in Palawan, where alkaline fluids (pH > 11) have been naturally produced, seeping into clastic sediments derived from serpentinized ultramafic rocks and gabbro of Palawan ophiolite. Interaction between the alkaline seepage and clastic sediments, which have been deposited since 15,000 radiocarbon years before present (14C yr BP), led to dissolution of minerals and the precipitation of Si-bearing phases which were divided into two main categories: Fe-Mg-Si infillings and Ca-Si infillings. The former category was composed of iron-magnesium-silicate-hydrate (F-M-S-H) and a nontronite-like mineral and was widely recognized in the clastic sediments. The nontronite-like mineral likely formed by interaction between silicates and alkaline seepage mixed with infiltrated seawater, whereas F-M-S-H formed by the reaction of silicates with alkaline seepage in the absence of seawater infiltration. Ca-Si infillings included 14 Å tobermorite and were precipitated from alkaline seepage combined with the Ca and Si supplied by the dissolution of calcite and silicates in the clastic sediments.

    Scientific journal, Zinc plant leach residues (ZPLRs) contain significant amounts of metal compounds of lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), etc., hence, they are considered as a secondary source of metals. On the other hand, ZPLRs are regarded as hazardous materials because they contain heavy metals that pollute the environment. Resources and environmental concerns of ZPLRs were addressed in this study by removing/recovering Pb and Zn using a concurrent dissolution and cementation technique. To cement the dissolved Pb and Zn in leaching pulp, zero-valent aluminum (ZVAl) was added during ZPLRs leaching in the hydrochloric (HCl)–sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The resulting cemented metals were agglomerated and separated by sieving. Lead removal increased with increasing both NaCl and HCl concentrations. However, when ZVAl was added, significant Pb removal was achieved at a low concentration. Zinc was not cemented out of the pulp using ZVAl and its recovery from ZPLRs was dependent on the HCl concentration only. By applying a concurrent dissolution and cementation technique, both Pb and Zn were removed using a low concentration of NaCl, and most importantly Pb—the most toxic metal in ZPLRs—was captured and separated before the solid-liquid separation, hence, eliminating the need for extensive washing of the generated residues to remove the inherent residual solution.

    English, Scientific journal, Biocementation of hazardous waste is used in reducing the mobility of contaminants, but studies on evaluating its efficacy have not been well documented. Therefore, to evaluate the efficacy of this method, physicochemical factors affecting stabilized hazardous products of in situ microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) were determined. The strength and leach resistance were investigated using the bacterium Pararhodobacter sp. Pb-contaminated kiln slag (KS) and leach plant residue (LPR) collected from Kabwe, Zambia, were investigated. Biocemented KS and KS/LPR had leachate Pb concentrations below the detection limit of < 0.001 mg/L, resisted slaking, and had maximum unconfined compressive strengths of 8 MPa for KS and 4 MPa for KS/LPR. Furthermore, biocemented KS and KS/LPR exhibited lower water absorption coefficient values, which could potentially reduce the water transportation of Pb2+. The results of this study show that MICP can reduce Pb2+ mobility in mine wastes. The improved physicochemical properties of the biocemented materials, therefore, indicates that this technique is an effective tool in stabilizing hazardous mine wastes and, consequently, preventing water and soil contamination.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, Si dissolution rate and mechanism of the ferro nickel slag with different mixing ratios of scallop shell and cooling rates have been investigated to apply ferro nickel slag as soil improvement agent. Slag with slow cooling rate was consisted of crystalline materials such as forsterite and enstatite. On the other hand, the slag with rapid cooling rate was amorphous material. Different constituent crystalline materials were obtained by addition of scallop shell. After addition of 30wt% the scallop shell, Ca-bearing crystalline materials such as monticellite, akermanite, wollastonite and augite were generated in the molten slag. The results obtained by batch dissolution experiment and SEM/EDX observation are summarized as follows.
    (1) The amorphous slag has a faster Si dissolution rate than crystalline slag. However, Si dissolution rate of the crystalline slag become faster after addition of scallop shell. Si dissolution rate of the molten ferro nickel slag after addition of 30wt% scallop shell has the same with that of the amorphous slag with rapid cooling rate.
    (2) Ca-bearing crystalline materials such as monticellite, akermanite, wollastonite and augite were easily dissolved than Mg-bearing materials such as forsterite and enstatite which were originally contained in the slag with slow cooling rate.
    (3) Among the crystalline materials in the slag, dissolution of the part consisted mainly of monticellite were distinguished. It was followed by wollastonite, akermanite and augite. Marked dissolution did not observed in the part consisted mainly of forsterite and enstatite.
    (4) Difference in dissolution behavior of the crystalline materials was due to the Ca content and degree of silica tetrahedron polymerization.
    (5) Release of the nutrient elements such as Si and Mg can be promoted by the selection of rapid cooling rate and addition of scallop shell as Ca source in the production of slag.

  • Quantitative Analysis for Dissolution of Silica Minerals in the Compacted Bentonite at Hyperalkaline Conditions by X-ray Computed Tomography and Geochemical Modeling

    Journal of the Clay Science Society of Japan (in Japanese), 52, 1, 9, 22, The Clay Science Society of Japan, 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, Dissolution rates of montmorillonite in bentonite under hyperalkaline conditions have been obtained to evaluate the long-term performance of engineered barriers for radioactive waste disposal. The saturation state of pore water with respect to montmorillonite in bentonite has been demonstrated as an important factor controlling montmorillonite dissolution rate. Pore water chemistry including the saturation state may be significantly affected by the dissolution of accessory minerals in bentonite. The bentonite "Kunigel V1", which is being considered for use in radioactive disposal barriers in Japan, actually contains a large amount (〜50 %) of accessory silica minerals, such as chalcedony and quartz. Dissolution of the silica minerals may inhibit the dissolution of montmorillonite in the bentonite by increasing the silica concentration and hence the saturation state with respect to montmorillonite in the pore water. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to examine the dissolution kinetics of the silica minerals and the effect of dissolved silica on the dissolution of montmorillonite in a compacted bentonite using X-ray computed tomography (CT) and geochemical modeling. Advective alteration experiments of a compacted bentonite (Kunigel V1) with a dry density of 0.3 Mg/m^3 was conducted with 0.3M NaOH solution at 70℃ for 360 days. X-ray CT images, which were taken every 10 days, showed that the volume of a light colored material decreased as the interaction between the bentonite and hyperalkaline-fluid progressed during the experiments. This is attributed to the dissolution of accessory silica minerals in the bentonite. XRD analyses of altered bentonite after the experiments identified that the accessory mineral was mainly chalcedony. The kinetic data for dissolution of chalcedony was obtained by developing the methodology to quantify the volume of accessory minerals in the CT images. These results showed that chalcedony was almost completely dissolved in the area close to the fluid input within 80 days. The geochemical transport model consistent with the experimental results indicates that the pore water in the bentonite became near saturation with respect to montmorillonite due to the dissolution of silica minerals in bentonite, inhibiting the dissolution of montmorillonite in bentonite. The model also indicates that the inhibition of montmorillonite dissolution will not be sustained beyond the experimental duration under the same experimental conditions. However, a compacted bentonite with higher dry density such as 1.6 Mg/m^3, where diffusion is the dominant mass transport mechanism, has been considered for use in actual radioactive disposal barriers in Japan. In the much more compacted bentonite system, dissolution of montmorillonite will be inhibited for a much longer term. Therefore, it is important to consider the dissolution behavior of silica minerals to sufficiently evaluate the long-term performance of bentonite as a component of engineered barriers for radioactive waste disposal.

  • Factors Affecting to the Viscosity of Montmorillonite/water Suspension 2. Relationship between Aspect Ratio of Montmorillonite Particles and Viscosity of Aqueous Suspensions
    SUZUKI KEIZO; SATO TSUTOMU; YONEDA TETSURO
    粘土科学, 50, 3, 162-174, 174, The Clay Science Society of Japan, 30 Mar. 2012
    Japanese, The viscosity of aqueous montmorillonite suspensions is affected by many factors, most notable among them include the soluble salt content and composition of exchangeable cations. However, difference in the viscosity of these suspensions remained even at almost identical soluble salt and exchangeable cation compositions. Because of these, the authors made this research based on the following hypothesis: the determining factor for the viscosity of aqueous montmorillonite suspensions is the aspect ratios of montmorillonite particles. Eight montmorillonite samples from Yamagata-Japan, Wyoming-USA and Gujart-India, having wide range of viscosity and aspect ratio, were used. In the experiments, the de-carbonated and Na-exchanged samples in addition to the untreated samples, both purified from bentonite suspension, were utilized. Surface area of basal planes and heights of 100 montmorillonite particles randomly-selected from the untreated samples were measured using AFM. The surface area of the basal planes was converted to the diameter of an equivalent circle. The aspect ratio was then calculated by dividing the diameter of the obtained equivalent circle with the height of the particle. The calculated values of the aspect ratio were at 260-380, 190-210 and 129 for the montmorillonites sampled from Yamagata, Wyoming and Gujarat, respectively. The aspect ratios of some Na-exchanged montmorillonite samples were also determined from the viscosity of diluted suspensions. The values of the aspect ratio obtained using this different method showed good agreement with the results by AFM measurement. This means that montmorillonite particles are suspended in water without folding or bending. For Na-exchanged samples, aspect ratio of montmorillonite particles and viscosity of aqueous suspensions showed good correlation (R^2=0.96). Using Simha's and Einstein's equations, the reason why the aspect ratio is the determining factor for the viscosity of aqueous montmorillonite suspensions could be explained as follows: in the aqueous suspensions, montmorillonie particles are rotating with Brownian movement of water molecules and occupying an apparent volume of sphere having diameter equivalent to the aspect ratio (nm). Apparent volume fraction of montmorillonite, which is calculated by multiplying the apparent volume of the montmorillonite particle and the number of particles in a 1ml suspension, is controlled by the aspect ratio. Because the aspect ratio affects numerically on the order of cube power to the apparent volume fraction of montmorillonite, while the number of particles in suspension affects only on the order of single power, in consideration of Einstein's equation. Montmorillonite that have large aspect ratios even with less number of particles will occupy a large apparent volume fraction in suspension and will have high viscosity. In contrast, montmorillonite with a smaller aspect ratio and large number of particles will occupy a smaller apparent volume fraction and the suspension will have low viscosity. Thus, the determining factor for the viscosity of aqueous montmorillonite suspensions is the aspect ratio of montmorillonite particles. Because this study was made using 8 montmorillonite samples having wide range of aspect ratio and viscosity, we believe that the conclusion obtained is universal.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, The maximum dose of ionizing radiation from the geological disposal of TRU wastes will likely be controlled by poorly sorbing soluble radionuclides, such as I-129. Proposed repository designs for the geological disposal of TRU wastes envisage the use of an engineered barrier composed of a bentonite buffer to limit the migration of such radionuclides by impeding groundwater flow. Cementitious materials will inevitably be used for waste packaging, in filling and adding structural integrity to the repository. Using cementitious materials, however, is problematic because they produce highly alkaline leachates which have the potential to cause a complex series of coupled changes in the porewater chemistry, mineralogy and, ultimately, the mass transport properties of the bentonite buffer. To elucidate the consequences of these coupled changes, reactive-transport model analyses have been conducted for bentonite alteration test cases with the use of different combinations of secondary minerals that will likely form in the bentonite buffer. A dissolution rate equation of smectite (a key component of bentonite) applicable to pH 7-13 and 25-80 ℃ was proposed and used in the reactive-transport model analyses. It was found that the amount of dissolved smectite at the center of the bentonite buffer was smaller and those in the vicinity of the cement interface was larger when thermodynamically metastable secondary minerals mainly precipitated as compared with the precipitation of stable phases. The calculated temporal and spatial changes of kinetic smectite dissolution were interpreted as a consequence of the changes in Gibbs free energy and porewater chemistry. Furthermore, the bentonite porewater chemistry was also affected by the stoichiometry and thermodynamic stability of the secondary minerals and the kinetics of smectite dissolution. Except in the close proximity of the cement interface, it was found that regardless of the choice of secondary minerals, the effective diffusion coefficient and hydraulic conductivity remained largely unchanged after 100,000 years.

    English, To develop a novel remediation for Cu- and Zn-bearing wastewater, the natural attenuation process in Dougamaru abandoned mine at Shimane Prefecture, Japan was investigated. In the Dougamaru abandoned mine, Cu- and Zn-bearing mine drainage was naturally attenuated by formation of green precipitate composed of Cu-bearing layered double hydroxide (LDH), hydrowoodwardite (HW) with chemical formula such as Cu_<0.66>Zn_<0.09>Fe_<0.01>Al_<0.23>(OH)_2(SO_4)_<0.15>・mH_2O. This attenuation was achieved at pH 6.0 with aeration and bacterial respiration and without any neutralization process attributed to the mixing with spring or surface water. The formation of the HW at pH 6 is also confirmed by thermodynamic consideration in this study. The formation process of the HW at the Dougamaru abandoned mine teaches us a novel technology for remediation system with addition of Al ion to wastewater and without employing any extensive chemical treatment processes. From the experiment to check applicability of Cu- and Zn-bearing LDHs to wastewater treatment, HW (Cu-bearing LDH) and zincowoodwardite (ZW; Zn-bearing LDH) were obtained by addition of Al ion to the Cu- and Zn-bearing wastewater from lower pH condition. The improvement of removal efficiency by adding Al ion in Cu-bearing wastewater system was not so clear in the experiment because Cu ion is removed from the synthetic wastewater due to Cu-hydroxyl sulfate precipitation at the experimental condition. On the other hand, the removal efficiencies of Zn ion showed the range from 0 to 30% even at pH 6.0 and improved with increasing initial Al ion content. The experimental results in Zn-bearing wastewater system indicate that the safety remediation of Zn ion can be achieved even at lower pH than 6.0-7.0 by selection of the ZW as a candidate of the solubility-limiting solid phase. Moreover, because of high anion exchange capacity of LDH, the method with addition of Al ion source for the wastewater treatment may also be useful for the treatment of wastewater containing Cu and Zn ions and simultaneously with As, Se, and Sb anions, which shows good performance in terms of anion remediation.

    Japanese, The contamination of groundwater with dissolved cationic chemical species such as Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, and Pb has been an important concern in the past. Dissolved anionic species such as As has received a more important focus due to its prevalence in West Bengal as a toxic contaminant affecting several hundreds of thousands of people. Nitrates and phosphates from excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture and detergents in households are grim reminders of dissolved anion contamination in rural groundwater supplies. Chemical weathering of slag and fly ash recycled as cement materials can release anionic chemical species that has alarmed the industrial community. Long-lived dissolved anionic nuclides such as 14C, 36Cl, 79Se, 99Tc and 129I from radioactive wastes of the nuclear power industry are also a cause for grave concern. The behavior of dissolved anionic chemical species in the natural environment has proved to be the most important factor in determining their hazards and their accumulation in minerals that comprises rocks and soils. In this context, this paper presents a review of the chemical speciation of hazardous inorganic anions in groundwater. It is one of main objectives of the manuscript to depict and understand anion mobility at different pH and redox conditions in the natural geochemical environment. A substantial part focuses on adsorptive behavior of the anions onto goethite as the representative adsorbent in the natural environment. Finally, the management strategies involved in controlling hazardous inorganic anions in the natural environments, i.e., natural remediation strategies of anions, are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. The final part is reinforced by several examples of natural attenuation processes in governing the anion mobility.

    Japanese, There is no research focused the characteristic for solid acid of minerals mineral surfaces is changed by relative humidity control. When the activation of catalysis on mineral surfaces is considered, water must be controlled and relative humidity can play this role. This may be a key to find out mechanism of peptide formation on mineral surfaces. It showed that the mineral catalysis for amino acid polymerization changed controlling relative humidity and Hectorite was the most effective catalyst. The factor that the catalytic efficiencies differ from each clay minerals may be the composition rather than the structure of clay minerals. As Hectorite is Mg- O in the structure, I conducted relative humidity experiment with Periclase. Mg-O may be the catalytic site to amino acid polymerization.

    Japanese, The properties of hydrothermal clay minerals such as crystallite thickness and its distribution can be related to their formational environments in the hydrothermal systems. In this study chlorite and mica mineral from two 1000m vertical drill holes and hydrothermal ore veins in Toyoha geothermal and mining area were analyzed to calculate crystallite thickness by using the MudMaster computer program(Drits et al., 1996). The averaged particle sizes of chlorite are ranging from 20 to 30nm in thickness. In the lower part of one drill hole, they gradually increase correlating with depth.

    Japanese, The acid mine drainages (AMD) are treated by neutralization with the two problems: (1) an enormous expenditure; and (2) a discharge of neutralization sludge. In this context, as a case study, a novel remediation method was applied for AMD at Horobetsu mine. The schwertmannite is generated by iron-oxidizing bacteria with Fe2+ and SO42- in acidic mine waters. Its efficiency in As uptake through sorption has been documented in the natural attenuation in Nishinomaki. This study demonstrates the advantages and feasibility of utilizing schwertmannite as a novel remediation method for AMD.
    At first, the drainage and sludge in Horobetsu mine were characterized to investigate the current method. Secondly, the synthesis of schwertmannite and arsenic removal from the drainage were examined. Results of the characterization indicated that the sludge contained much residual calcite and arsenic by adsorption to the ferrihydrite. The calcite, however, may be dissolved with rainwater. After the reaction, pH of the sludge should be increased and then, which presumably causes the desorption of arsenic from the ferrihydrite. On the contrary, schwertmannite, successfully synthesized from Horobetsu mine drainage by pH adjustment to pH 3.5, removed As almost completely from the drainage.
    A novel processing method proposed based on the above results consists of the following procedure: (1) arsenic in AMD is removed by the schwertmannite, process, (2) As-free schwertmannite is spontaneously synthesized from the drainage by pH adjustment to pH 3.5 and iron-oxidizing bacteria, and supplied to (1), and (3) the drainage is neutralized in order to remove sulfate by using the waste concrete. In the above procedure, As-bearing schwertmannite, As-free schwertmannite and gypsum are produced as byproduct. This novel processing method is therefore defined as combination system including the removal of arsenic, iron, and sulfate and the resource recovery from AMD.

    Japanese, Montmorillonite samples were obtained from the suspension of Yamagata-bentonite with four purification processes to investigate underlying conditions which cause their viscosity. The samples were also treated repeatedly by 70% 2-propanol solution with different times to prepare the samples with different amounts of water soluble salts. Moreover, the treatments with sodium acetate-acetic acid solution (pH:5.0) and NaCl solution were conducted to dissolve Ca-carbonate minerals and to homo-ionize the samples. Electrical conductivity (relating to the amount of water soluble salts) and viscosity of the montmorillonite suspensions were measured for the samples with different pre-treatments. From the results of measurements, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. Viscosities of the montmorillonite suspension are negatively correlated with their electrical conductivities. Under the higher content of water soluble salts (higher electrical conductivity), viscosity of the samples is lower. 2. In the salt concentration of 2.5 × 10^<-6>〜2.5 × 10^<-4>moll^<-1>, zeta-potentials of the samples are almost constant. 3. Even under the same content of water soluble salts, the obvious difference in viscosity of the samples with four purification processes was observed. The order of viscosity among the samples was not changed even after treatments with sodium acetate-acetic acid solution (pH:5.0) and NaCl solution. Consequently, the difference in the viscosity, therefore, may not arise from the external chemical conditions such as content of water soluble salts and species of exchangeable cation. 4. The observed difference in viscosity among the samples would be attributed to the difference in aspect ratios or particle sizes (sizes in a-b plane) of montmorillonite in the samples with different purification processes.

    Japanese, Highly purified montmorillonite (HP-Mont) was prepared to understand the original characteristics of montmorillonite by the combined treatments such as sedimentation, super centrifugation, treating with alcohol solution, decarbonation with acetic acid -sodium acetate buffer solution, Na-exchange with sodium chloride solution. The prepared montmorillonite was comprehensively characterized, and the characteristics of HP-Mont were compared with commercial montmorillonite (Com-Mont) and summarized as follows; 1. Results of XRD, TG-DTA, CEC, LC measurements showed that the HP-Mont was extremely pure montmorillonite. Layer charge was 0.410 e.s.u./half unit cell, 30% of the layer charge was located in tetrahedral layers, and the rest was in octahedral layers. 2. After removal of quartz and soil organics, the HP-Mont showed white color in powder and transparent in aqueous suspension. 3. Aqueous suspension of the HP-Mont had high viscosity and the viscosity for 1.5% suspension of the HP-Mont was higher than that for 4.0% suspension of the Com-Mont. 4. Aqueous suspension of the HP-Mont was slightly acidic due to removal of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate. 5. The planar size of the HP-Mont was comparatively smaller than that of the Com-Mont, as the result of separation by super-centrifugation. 6. Zeta potential of the HP-Mont was slightly larger than that of the Com-Mont. due to the result of removal of soluble salts.

    多環芳香族炭化水素 (PAH)は化石燃料の不完全燃焼に伴い大気中に放出される。これらの中には発癌性を有するものがあることから、PAHの地表環境での運命は大きな関心が持たれている。しかし鉱物質エアロゾルや有機エアロゾルに伴われるPAHの安定性についての研究は少なく、不明な点が多い。本研究ではピレンをPAHの代表物質とし、石英、αアルミナ、酸性白土(スメクタイト)およびフミン酸に伴われるピレンの安定性を相対湿度・温度コントロール下で調べた。石英、αアルミナに伴われるピレンは酸性白土やフミン酸に伴われるピレンに比べて分解速度が著しく速く、フミン酸に伴われるピレンを除き、相対湿度が増加すると分解速度は速くなる傾向が認められた。本発表では、様々な相対湿度におけるエアロゾル構成物質とPAHの相互作用について考察した結果を報告する。

    高レベル放射性廃棄物やTRU廃棄物を地層に処分する計画がある。その計画の中で緩衝材として高い物理・化学的緩衝性を持つスメクタイトを主成分としたベントナイトを使用することが考えられている。しかし坑道の補強のために大量のセメントが使われ、そのセメントが地下水と反応して劣化し、高いアルカリ性を示す地下水となり、主成分鉱物であるスメクタイトを溶解させ期待される性能が発揮されないという懸念がある。そのため、地層処分においてスメクタイトのアルカリ環境での溶解速度の決定が安全評価上重要な課題となっている。鉱物の溶解速度の一般式はLasaga(1995,1998)により示されている。スメクタイトの溶解に関する研究は数多くなされており、Cama et al(2000)ではpH8.8、80℃におけるスメクタイトの溶解速度に関するΔGの影響と溶存シリカ濃度の影響の式を示している。ΔGによる影響は通常TST理論に基づいて説明されるが、Cama et al(2000)で示された式はTST理論で裏付けされるものではなく、実験から得られたデータより得られた経験式である。したがって、この経験式が、処分場で問題となっている高いpH条件で適応可能であるのかが不明である。そこで本研究では、高アルカリ条件において溶存シリカ濃度を調整し、異なるΔG条件下で溶解実験を行うことにより、高アルカリ条件でのスメクタイトの溶解速度とΔGの関係を明らかにすることを目的とした。試料は、山形県月布産ベントナイトから精製したスメクタイト(クニピア_-_P:クニミネ工業製)を用いた。Yokoyama.et.al(2005)により試料の化学構造式は次のように示された。Na0.50K0.01Ca0.06(Al1.52Fe0.09Mg0.33)(Si 3.82Al0.18)O10(OH) 2・nH 2O本研究では、フロースルー系におけるによるスメクタイトの溶解実験を行った。実験で設定したシリカ濃度は、0.3MのNaOH にメタケイ酸ナトリウムを添加して50、100、250、500μMに設定した。また実験温度は、処分初期の地層処分場の条件を模擬するために70℃とした。固液比は1:1000とし、異なるシリカ濃度に設定した反応溶液を0.2ml/minの流量で送液し、容器内で10時間滞留するようにした。反応溶液の作成および回収は、大気中のCO2の影響によるpHの変化を避けるため、高純度窒素雰囲気に保ったグローブボックス内で行った。溶液の回収は24時間おきに最大280時間まで行った。反応後の溶液は、モリブデンブルー法によりSi濃度を分光光度計で測定し、Al濃度についてはICP-MSにより測定した。また、反応後の固相を回収し、AFM(原子間力顕微鏡) による粒子観察から粒子の溶解による体積変化を求め、そのデータから溶解速度を見積った。実験の結果、回収した溶液は反応初期に高いSi濃度が見られたが、その後定常状態に到達していた。得られた溶存Si濃度は、初期に設定したSi濃度が50μM以上のものではそれよりも低く見積もられた。これは、シリカが高pH環境の下でポリマー化したためと考えられる。AFM観察による溶解速度の算出の結果、Siを高濃度に加えた実験で、溶解速度が遅延されていることを確認した。このことは、溶液中のΔGが上昇するにつれ、スメクタイトの溶解速度が遅延されることを示唆している。ΔGと溶解速度との関係は、熱力学データベースJNC990900を用いてΔGを計算するとCama et al(2000)式でよく表現されていることが分かる。しかし、熱力学データベースにはSiの溶存種を見積もるのに必要な金属錯体等の形成に関するのデータの不確かさがあるため、現時点ではΔGの見積もりに不確定性が残ってしまう。今後データベースの精査とともにΔGに関してより詳細な議論が必要であると考えられる。

  • A Comparisons of Bentonite from Kawamukai and Umenokida in Tsukinuno Mine, Yamagata
    YOKOYAMA SHINGO; KURODA MASATO; TSUTSUI MASANORI; SATO TSUTOMU; SUZUKI KEIZO; ENOTO HIROYUKI

    Japanese, Characterization of the Kawamukai (KB) and Umenokida (UB) bentonites from the Tsukinuno bentonite mines were investigated by XRD analysis, XRF analysis, ICP-MS, petrography, SEM, AFM, and surface area determination by the N_2-BET method. XRD analyses and petrography identified quartz, feldspar, zeolite facies, calcite, and montmorillonite in the Tsukinuno bentonite. The zeolite facies in KB and UB are analcime and clinoptilolite, respectively. The Mg/(Ca+Mg) ratio of calcite based on ICP-MS in KB is higher than that in UB. These results suggest that KB has undergone a higher alteration than UB. Since no heat source such as an igneous intrusion has been reported to affect the bentonite deposits, the difference in the degree of alteration can be attributed to the effective stress applied on the deposits during folding. This is supported by the higher angle of deformation found in the KB than in UB. The layer charge distribution in montmorillonite from both bentonites indicates a bimodal distribution. Mean layer charge of Kawamukai-montmorillonite (KM) is 0.31 esu/half unit cell, which is slightly higher than Umenokida-montmorillonite (0. 29 esu/half unit cell). However, this difference in mean layer charges does not affect expandability largely. Thickness of both montmorillonite layers (i.e. KM and UM) determined with AFM is close to the height of a single hydrated montmorillonite layer. The ab dimension of UM is bigger than that of KM. This results in a large difference in the edge surface area per unit mass for UM and KM. Since the edge surface areas are more reactive, differences in physical and chemical properties such as adsorptive ability and permittivity would arise for the two bentonites.

  • Natural analogue studies of waste disposal : Do not stick to "analog" too much
    SATO Tsutomu; FUKUSHI Keisuke
    Resource geology. Shigen-chishitsu, 53, 2, 193, 200, 資源地質学会, 25 Dec. 2003
    Japanese, Studies on natural analogues are indispensable ways to define geological disposal concepts, and to provide convincing support for the performance assessment of long-term radioactive isolation. Long-term predictions on the behavior of the natural environment are recognized to be fraught with uncertainty if based solely on information from limited and short-term observations or experiments. In this context, natural analogue studies have been extensively carried out by many researchers in the world. However, natural analogue studies have been recently scaled down and financially limited due to: (1) limited study areas that are systematically analogous to disposal sites, which is the primary prerequisite for analogue studies; (2) deficiency in defining natural analogues; and (3) lack of clarity on the utilization of data obtained in the studies and how it can contribute to performance assessment.
    Recent issues surrounding the performance assessment that should be addressed urgently in assessing the impacts on the disposal systems include: (1) retardation of anionic species such as 14CO42-, H79SeO3-, 99TcO4-; and (2) bentonite-hyper alkaline fluid (i.e. cement pore fluid) interactions. If the criteria for natural analogue studies are strictly defined, it would be very difficult to find suitable study areas. In this review, the required conditions and strategies for future natural analogue studies are discussed and summarized based on case studies of natural attenuation of arsenic in acid mine drainage and mineral paragenesis under hyper alkaline condition in Oman ophiolite.

    Japanese, Expandability and layer charge characteristics of diagenetic illite (IMt-1) and hydrothermal sericite (HS) were investigated after alkylammonium ion exchange with potassium, and subsequently, Na Ca and Mg ion exchange. After the ion exchange, both mica clay minerals clearly exhibited expandabilitiy by intercalation of alkylammouium iion, and glycerol and water saturation in their interlayer. Differences in the expandability are mainly attributed to layer charge characteristics of expandable layers, which enabled an estimation of the distribution and amount of layer charge through X-ray diff...

    Japanese, At the end of 20th century, we have to summarize a progress of clay crystallography in 20th century and mention what should be needed to make a breakthrough to clay application for environmental material science in new century. Clay crystallography in 20th century illustrated that clay is a crystalline material with some stacking disorder one-dimensionally. For our 21st century with continuous development, however, we have to understand the clay surface structure and charge distribution on the surface. If we understand those, it would be available to control the performance of clay material...

    In this study, the true character (composition, structure, etc.) of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) was revealed through synthesis experiments and precise characterization of the products, thermodynamic investigations, exploration and production confirmation in various natural environments, and observation of alteration to more stable phase over time on a geological time scale. We were also able to construct and validate a geochemical reaction model and database that can predict the formation of M-S-H. Therefore, it is now possible to use the validated models and databases to predict whether or not M-S-H is produced and the amount of M-S-H produced in various engineering scenarios where M-S-H is expected to be produced.

  • Understanding of host minerals for radioactive cesium fixation and proposal for reasonable volume reduction of the contaminated soils
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    01 Apr. 2015 - 31 Mar. 2018
    Sato Tsutomu
    Detail observations for the contaminated soils particles collected from different areas in Fukushima prefecture,percentage of the contaminated particles was limited to be only 0.3%.The contaminated particles were categorized to agglomerated weathered biotite, complex of organic matter and weathered biotite and weathered biotite.From the observation,the weathered biotite would be dominant host of radioactive cesium in Fukushima prefecture and supported by adsorption experiments.From our observation,spherical glass particles (so called "Cs ball") were not detected. Therefore, we can conclude that the host of radioactive cesium is the weathered biotite in Fukushima prefecture.Our laboratory experiments showed that the weathered biotite can be collected by magnet.After ball milling crushing and ultra sonic dispersion for agglomerated weathered biotite and complex of organic matter and weathered biotite, the contaminated particles would be efficiently collected by magnetic cobbing machine.

    In order to increase the nutrient efficiency and prevent the soil water air contamination, we conducted experiments of adsorption and dispersion-flocculation, and survey of paddy fields. We also did application of theoretical analysis to evaluate the phenomena. We elucidated phosphate adsorption in kaolinite and its influence on Ferralsol dispersion-flocculation, Sr adsorption in clays and its restriction of transport in soils, and an anionic surfactant adsorption in highly humic soil. Fundamental method for desalination of Tsunami affected agricultural lands was proposed. Stock efficiency of carbon dioxide in paddy fields was evaluated.

    Basic research for constructing rational treatment and disposal system of radioactive wastes generated by Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident have been performed in three research fields of characteristic of solid and liquid contaminants, treatments of solid and liquid contaminants, and radioactive waste disposal.
    As a result, we have obtained many useful data on properties of fuel debris, leaching behavior of nuclides from debris, treatment methods of contaminated water, solidification method of wastes, novel decontamination methods, migration behavior of nuclides in the fields containing salts of high concentrations, and so on. These results are expected to contribute to the management plan of radioactive wastes generated under abnormal conditions in contact with water containing seawater in the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident, and to the progress of radioactive waste managements.

    Analytical results for lacustrine sediments and lake-catchment system survey in East Asia (Mongol, China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan) reveal that: 1) gradual aridification (cooling) began in late-mid Holocene and artificial influences began at about 1000 yrs ago in Northeast China, 2) comparatively rapid aridification (cooling) began in late-mid Holocene and clear artificial influences were detected at about 100 yrs ago in central Taiwan, and 3) clear volcanic activity and post-environmental changes were detected since 1640 in the little ice age period and clear artificial changes after the world war 2nd were detected in lacustrine sediments of North Japan. Observation results in a small lake-catchment system in central Japan reveal that a combination of physical parameters may be available for identifying natural erosion-sedimentation processes from artificial ones.

    SATO Tsutomu; KOGURE Toshihiro; NAWA Toyoharu
    In this study, we conducted extraction and identification of particles fixed radioactive cesium from the soils at Fukushima to make proposal of applicable separation method for reduction in volume, and leaching experiments to make proposal safety solidification of cesium adsorbed zeolites. As the results of this study, the particles are categorized in the following three types, 1) coagulation of several mineral particles, 2) mineral-organic matter complex, and 3) weathered mica, and separated from non-contaminated particles by wet screening and using diatomite. These particles will be directly disposed after volume reduction of the contaminated soils because cesium already fixed into structure of the minerals in the particles. However, cesium released from the particles must be collected by adsorbents such as zeolite. We confirmed that the zeolite bearing cesium can be safely disposed after encapsulation by slag cement.

  • 放射性廃棄物処分におけるセメント―ペントナイト界面の物質移動
    科学研究費助成事業
    2009 - 2011
    佐藤 努; YOGARAJHA Elakneswaran
    本研究により、主に以下の3つについて大きな成果が得られた。
    セメントとベントナイトを構成する鉱物表面の性能の決定
    ベントナイトの表面性能については数多くの研究報告があるが、セメントの主たる水和鉱物であるカルシウムケイ酸水和物(CSH)の表面特性に関してはあまり詳しく理解されていなかった。本研究では、実験とモデルによる計算結果の照合プロセスにより、CSHの表面特性を明らがにした。CSHの表面特性を明らかにできたことにより、放射性廃棄物処分場における長期性能評価に資する輸送・反応モデルを提示することが可能となった。
    セメント鉱物表面と核種の相互作用
    セメント鉱物による核種の移行遅延は表面吸着や表面沈殿によるが、それらをモデル計算に組み込むためのパラメータ取得は十分ではなかった。そこで、安全評価上重要な核種と考えられている^<129>I^-を対象として、コールドの拡散実験とモデル計算の結果の比較を行った。その結果、ヨウ素については静電的な吸着は期待できず、比較的容易に移行することが明らかとなった。
    様々な反応を統合した熱力学的モデルの開発
    上述のように、本研究では地球化学モデリングソフトのPHREEQCを使用して、表面錯体モデル、相平衡モデル、多種イオン拡散モデルを組み合わせ、硬化体中を浸透する塩化物イオンの挙動を評価した。その結果、ここで開発したモデルは、本実験結果や既報の実験結果における塩化物イオンの移動プロファイルおよび様々なセメントにおけるプロファイルの相違を説明できるものであることが明らかとなった。

    21年度は、昨年度より行ってきた構造や組成の異なる単一鉱物のペプチド生成反応に対する触媒作用の比較・検討を継続するとともに、それらの共生効果についての検討を行った。今回検討した鉱物は、Ca-、Na-、H型モンモリロナイト、γ-アルミナ、ヘクトライト、バイデライト、石英、ペリクレイス、カルサイト、ドロマイト、カオリナイト、クリソタイル、ハイドロタルサイトである。今回の実験で生成されたペプチドは、2量体の環状無水物(DKP)と2~6量体の直鎖状ペプチドであった。鉱物を付加しないコントロールと比べると、鉱物を用いた全ての実験で鉱物によるアミノ酸重合触媒作用が認められた。ただし、ペプチドの生成量は使用した鉱物によって顕著な違いが認められ、高い触媒能を示したのはカルサイトやドロマイト等の炭酸塩鉱物であった。また、ほとんどの鉱物は相対湿度50%にて最も高い触媒効果を示し、相対湿度を制御して鉱物表面でのDKP生成を抑制し、より長い直鎖のポリペプチドの生成を可能にしているものと推定する。また、2つの鉱物を混合した系でのペプチド生成反応に対する触媒作用を比較検討したところ、モンモリロナイトとカルサイト、ハイドロタルサイトとカルサイトを混合した系で、単一鉱物を用いた系より顕著に高い触媒作用を示すことが明らかとなった。これはカルサイト表面が負に帯電しているため、アミノ基がカルサイト表面において脱プ...

    We summarized the effects of pH, coexisting substances, etc. on the adsorption of arsenic on the adsorbent, schwertmannite, with surface complex model. We found that in the heterogeneous water distribution, diffusive efflux of pollutants obeys power law with the exponent ranging from minus 1.0 to minus 0.5, whereas in regular systems the exponent is fixed to minus 0.5. In addition, we validated the effectiveness of barrier system for immobilization with laboratory experiments. We successfully constructed several sub-models for the design of immobilization in heterogeneous polluted sites.

    Long range transport of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with Asian dust was investigated by collecting Aerosol particles through a year from April 2003 at Kanazawa, Japan. PAHs content in Asian dust particles were highly variable in different Asian dust events. Developed kinetic model showed that sorption rate of less volatile PAHs than BaP on Asian dust particles are too low to be accumulated. The origin of those PAHs in Asian dust particles would be originally PAH-polluted soil particles around industrialized area (e.g. loess regions around industrialized area). Back trajectory an...

    We have established the design chart of the arsenic removal unit, Gravel Sand Filter (GSF), by examining the arsenic removal performance of 4 GSFs installed in Bangladesh these 4 years. These GSFs are community-based units and have supplied arsenic-safe water to villagers in these years. GSF is composed of gravel tanks and sand tank. The arsenic in groundwater is to be settled in the gravel voids of gravel tanks by co-precipitation with iron, which exits naturally in groundwater with higher concentration.The iron and arsenic in groundwater are first to be oxidized at the inlet tank of GSF. ...

    The concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the coastal sands and other media of a heavily polluted site of the Nakhodka oil spill were found to be as low as the background after the 7 years of the accident. Oil residues were found only in the hollows and cavities of the rocks, and PAH contents in those residues decreased to one thirds of the original value in two years, but after that, PAHs contents remained at the same level, suggesting that PAHs will remain long as oil residues.Two years of monitoring of PAHs in the river water, SS and sediments revealed that the main...

    2000 - 2001
    佐藤 努
    本研究では、海洋地殻の3割を越えるとされる超塩基性岩の変質により生成するマグネシウム炭酸塩、特に炭酸イオンをイオン交換反応により結晶構造内に取り込むことのできるハイドロタルサイト族鉱物の生成機構を明らかにし、地球表層部における炭酸イオン固定や二酸化炭素の循環に及ぼす影響を評価することを目的とした。そのため、昨年度の千葉県、徳島県、愛媛県、オマーンに引き続き、北海道幌満かんらん岩を調査し、地質調査および試料、(水、岩石、土壌)採取を行うとともに、雰囲気制御(二酸化他酸素分圧)鉱物変質実験装置による反応実験を継続した。その結果、超塩基性岩の風化や蛇紋岩化に伴う間隙水の高アルカリ化により、ハイドロタルサィト族鉱物は容易に生成し、溶存炭酸イオンはその生成によって固定化されることが判明した。また、生成時に他の陰イオンを取り込んだハイドロタルサイト族鉱物が形成しても、炭酸イオンに対する高い選択性から、生成後もイオン交換反応によって溶存炭酸イオンを固定可能であることが、雰囲気制御鉱物変質実験装置による実験から明らかとなった。間隙水の高アルカリ化は、亀裂に産するブルース石の風化溶解、または透輝石等の含Ca塩基性鉱物の蛇紋岩化によるCaの溶脱によるもので、Mg・Feかんらん岩の風化、溶脱のみでは高アルカリ化せず、単にMgの溶出と鉄酸化・水酸化物の生成にとどまることも判明した。以上のことから、今後、グローバルな炭素循環を考える場合、海洋底に露出して海洋風化に曝される超塩基性岩の分布やその蛇紋岩化の程度、海洋底下における極低温蛇紋岩化作用の有無、間隙に産するブルース石の含有量などの評価が重要であることが明らかとなった。
