| Popis: | An apatite glass-ceramic wasteform with 21 wt% SrO loading was fabricated for immobilizing Sr high-level liquid waste. The normalized leach rates of Sr, K, Mo, Al, P, Si are 6.9×10 −4 , 1.09×10 −1 , 2.7×10 −3 , 3.22×10 −2 , 2.84×10 −2 , 3.26×10 −2 g/m 2 day, respectively. Component Fe in all leachates is not detectable in the 28-day static leaching test procedure in MCC-1. Instead of leaching, component Ca is adsorbed by testing samples. All the component Mo concentrates in the glass matrix of the well crystallized apatite glass-ceramics. For an apatite glass-ceramic wasteform, the optimum microstructure should be one in which poorly crystallized apatite crystallites distribute evenly in the glass phase. Perfect crystallization makes the crystal phase more stoichiometric and significantly changes the composition of the coexisting glass phase in the system, which, in our case, decreases the chemical stability of the apatite glass-ceramics. |
