Abstract

The solubility of nickel under anoxic conditions was investigated in groundwater and in cement-conditioned water. The solubility was studied at 30 °C using the over-saturation method. The nickel concentrations were determined using 63Ni and liquid scintillation counting. The results indicate a nickel solubility of 1-10−4 mol/L in the cement water. The same solubility was also seen in groundwaters that had a pH of 9 or higher. No solubility limit was determined for groundwaters with pH values in the range of 7 to 9.
