Investigations on the complexation behaviour of humic acids
and their influence on the migration of radioactive and non-radioactive
substances under conditions close to nature
C. M. Marquardt
Abstract
The present report summarises the progress and the final
results obtained within the BMWA -Project “Investigations on the
complexation behaviour of humic acids and their influ-ence on the migration of
radioactive and non-radioactive substances under conditions close to
nature”. This project, which lasted for 3.5 years, was conducted in the
frame of a BMWA supporting program directed towards the assessment of final
repositories / underground dis-posal facilities in deep geological formations.
The work presented in this report is a continua-tion of the work within a
former BMBF project performed in the
years 1995 to 1999. These results are published in a Scientific Report of the
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.
Five partners have been concerned in this project; four of them have
received funding and one partner (FZK) have attended the project with its long
experiences in the field of metal ion interaction with humic substances, but
without financial support. All the partners are listed on page i.
The report contains an executive summary of the final reports prepared by
the four financially supported partners. These final reports are enclosed as Appendices
A – D. The executive summary gives an overview of the covered topics and
the obtained results without going into details. Especially, the relationships
among the different studies are pointed out.
By this approach, results rapidly become available in compact form prior
to their publication in various scientific journals and conference proceedings.
Furthermore, some of the prelimi-nary results may not appear in scientific
journals or conference proceedings.
The elaborated results are important contributions which can be introduced
into safety as-sessment of nuclear and toxic waste disposal in deep geologic
formations.
