Development and Characterization of Gibbsite Component Simulant

Pretreatment Engineering Platform Phase 1 Final Test Report

“…The recipes used to prepare the PEP simulant and the CrOOH component are based on the simulant development work of Russell et al (2009aRussell et al ( , 2009bRussell et al ( , 2009c and Smith et al (2009). The simulant recipe provided in Smith et al (2009) was modified to remove selected components from the precipitated iron hydroxide (filtration) solids and supernatant.…”

Scale-Up, Production, and Procurement of PEP Simulants

“…The recipes used to prepare the PEP Simulant and the CrOOH component are based on the simulant development work of Russell et al (2009a;2009b;2009c) and Smith et al (2009). The final simulant recipe of material used in the PEP was modified to remove selected chemical constituents such as barium, cadmium, copper, lead, and ruthenium from the Filtration Inerts and formate, acetate, tungstate, and metasilicate from the Specific Supernate.…”

“…The basis for selecting the individual components and comparison to actual waste behavior are provided where applicable in the indicated references  Boehmite component (for Al) (Russell et al 2009a)  Gibbsite component (for Al) (Russell et al 2009b)  Oxalate component (a)  Filtration component (Russell et al 2009c)  Supernatant component (a)  Chromium component (Rapko et al 2007).…”

Simulated Waste for Leaching and Filtration Studies--Laboratory Preparation Procedure

“…The product description is given in Appendix C. The mineral powder described in Appendix C is added to the actively mixing slurry in the amount specified in the recipe. Further details of the gibbsite simulant component are discussed in WTP-RPT-176, Rev 0 (Russell et al 2009a).…”
