Abstract

The sand of glaciolacustrine origin is offered as a major component of the backfill in repositories for solid or solidified low and intermediate level waste (LILW). Clinoptilolite, hematite, and magnesium oxide are offered as additives for increasing of sorption. In this work was carried investigation of sorption properties of sand, clinoptilolite, hematite and magnesium oxide and mixtures of sand with these mineral additives.
