“…In the field of orthopedics, they are promising materials for accelerating bone regeneration, including calcium phosphate, magnesium ammonium phosphate and the latest potassium magnesium phosphate [ 3 ]. Moreover, they can be used for the stabilization/solidification of radioactive metal cations because of their excellent immobilization effects, great encapsulation properties and excellent resistance to acid attack and high temperature [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Among various kinds of phosphate cements, magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) has drawn a great interest in research.…”

Magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) is formed on the basis of acid–base reaction between dead burnt MgO and KH2PO4 in aqueous solution with K-struvite as the main cementitious phase. Due to the unique characteristics of these cements, they are suitable for special applications, especially the immobilization of radioactive metal cations and road repair projects at low temperature. However, there are few articles about the hydration mechanism of MKPC. In this study, the types, proportions and formation mechanism of MKPC crystalline phases under different magnesium to phosphorus (Mg/P) ratios were studied by means of AAS, ICP-OES, SEM, EDS and XRD refinement methods. Corresponding MD simulation works were used to explain the hydration mechanism. This study highlights the fact that crystalline phases distribution of MKPC could be adjusted and controlled by different Mg/P ratios for the design of the MKPC, and the key factor is the kinetic of K+.

“…(4) Concentrated LRWs would be blended with borosilicate glass at high temperatures and finally form a glass phase [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The safe treatment of these LRWs is one of the leading problems in the nuclear industry [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Cs + is one of the main radioactive ions in low-level and medium-level LRWs [18][19][20].…”

“…Struvite-K cement is a special cement with rapid curing and great developing strength, and it is usually used in emergency bridge or road repair works [28]. It is also used for the immobilization of radioactive nuclides [10,35]. Other related issues are the recovery of potassium and phosphorus from urines in the form of K-struvite [36][37][38][39][40][41], or the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus from municipal sewage/sludge in the form of struvite [40,[42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

Struvite-K cements, also called magnesium potassium phosphate cements (MKPCs), are applicable for particular applications, especially the immobilization of radioactive Cs+ in the nuclear industry. This work focuses on how Cs+ affects the hydration mechanism of struvite-K cements because newberyite and brucite in the hydration products are deemed to be risky products that result in cracking. Experiments and molecular dynamics simulations showed that Cs+ promoted the diffusion of K+ to the surface of MgO, which greatly facilitates the formation of more K-struvite crystals, inhibiting the formation of newberyite and brucite. A total of 0.02 M Cs+ resulted in a 40.44%, 13.93%, 60.81%, and 32.18% reduction in the amount of newberyite and brucite, and the Cs immobilization rates were 99.07%, 99.84%, 99.87%, and 99.83% when the ratios of Mg/P were 1, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. This provides new evidence of stability for struvite-K cements on radioactive Cs+ immobilization. Surprisingly, another new crystal, [CsPO3·H2O]4, was found to be a dominating Cs-containing phase in Cs-immobilizing struvite-K cements, in addition to Cs-struvite.
