Corrosion interactions between stainless steel and lead vanado-iodoapatite nuclear waste form part I
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This study explores the corrosion interactions between a metallic canister material, stainless steel (SS) 316, and an I-bearing ceramic waste form, lead vanado-iodoapatite (I-APT, Pb9.85(VO4)6I1.7), in a chloride solution. Crevice corrosion of the SS in close proximity to the I-APT resulted in the development of an aggressive environment at the interface of the two materials, which was acidic and enriched in Cl−anions. I-APT also corroded in the crevice region, primarily through ion-exchange between the I−ions from the I-APT matrix and anions from the environment. The enrichment of Cl−anions within the occluded crevice space as the result of SS crevice corrosion enhanced the corrosion of I-APT. The release of iodine from this apatite waste form could be accelerated owing to this mechanism. This is evidenced by a depletion of iodine from the I-APT matrix and a large amount of Cl-bearing precipitates on the surfaces of both SS and I-APT. On the other hand, the corrosion of I-APT leads to the precipitation of a V- and Pb-rich layer, which inhibits the localized corrosion of SS to an extent. This study advances the understanding of the near-field corrosion interactions between metallic canisters and ceramic waste forms.
