Results on the chemical behavior of Fe(0) and UO2(s), as well as the interaction between fresh and corroded iron with U(VI) in simulated cement contacting alkaline solution are reported. Batch experiments were conducted under anoxic conditions at different alkalinities and salt concentrations to investigate: (a) the corrosion of iron foils (b) the U(VI) removal by fresh, aged and pre-treated (with FeS or Fe3O4 layers) iron surfaces in a simulated cement pore fluid, (c) the dissolution rates of newly reduced UO2.00 slices in simulated cement pore fluid and KOH solutions (pH 12.7) and (d) the isotope exchange reactions between dissolved 235U(VI) and 238UO2(s). The reacted iron and UO2(s) surfaces were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectra (SEM-EDS), laser Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron, spectroscopy (XPS).
