Comparison of Lithium Transport<br />

in Laboratory and Field Tests<br />

• Laboratory (top figure) and<br />

field (bottom figure) Lithium<br />

retardation coefficients are<br />

similar<br />

• Field K d (range from 0.6 to<br />

4.1 ml/g) are slightly larger<br />

than laboratory K d (range<br />

from 0.1 to 0.3 ml/g)<br />

– difference perhaps a result<br />

of alteration minerals (e.g.,<br />

clays) removed during<br />

preparation of lab samples<br />

• Using laboratory-derived K d<br />

is conservative for post<br />

closure performance<br />

assessment<br />
