From viewpoints of long-term safety assessments of disposal systems, it has become an important issue to clarify effects of porosity in compacted illite on diffusion behavior of non-sorbed species, cations, and anions. Therefore, in this study, celestite precipitation was artificially induced in pellets of compacted illite, and the amount and position of the precipitates were measured by neutron radiographic analysis. Neutron images showed selective clogging in the pores of the compacted illite. Moreover, a tracer-diffusion experiment using a solution containing tritiated water (HTO), cationic22Na+, and anionic36Cl-was performed. I was found that HTO and22Na+passed through the compacted illite which had been subjected to precipitation, while diffusion of36Cl-did not occur. This fact indicates that HTO and22Na+were able to diffuse, but anion exclusion of36Cl-occurred. The effective diffusion coefficient values of HTO and22Na+in compacted illite subjected to precipitation were much lower than for illite not subjected to precipitation. These results signify that the diffusion behavior of water, cation, and anion in small-sized pores of compacted illite is restricted by celestite precipitation, and is strongly influenced by the porosity and the arrangement of the illite particles.
