Abstract
The chemical stability of Nd0.33Zr2(PO4)3 fine-grained ceramics, which can be used for immobilization of rare earth elements (REE) that are part of high-level waste was studied. Single-phase Nd0.33Zr2(PO4)3 submicron powders with the structure of the mineral kosnarite were prepared by colloid-chemical synthesis. Powders were prepared by successive annealing at 600, 800, and 900°C for 6 h at each stage. Nd0.33Zr2(PO4)3 ceramic was Nd0.33Zr2(PO4)3 ceramics was produced using spark plasma sintering method (SPS). The relative density of the ceramic was 89.9%; the average grain size was 5–20 μm. The chemical stability of the ceramic in the static mode at 90°C in distilled water and mineral water, as well as in acidic media (0.1 M HCl) and alkaline media (0.01 M NaOH), was studied. The ceramics have high hydrolytic stability. The influence of the contact medium on the rate and mechanism of Nd leaching from the surface of Nd0.33Zr2(PO4)3 fine-grained ceramic samples was studied. The de Groot-van der Sloot model was used to analyze the resulting leaching rate Ri against time t of experiment. Nd leaching occurs by dissociation of Nd from the ceramic surface in acidic medium, diffusion from the inner layers in alkaline medium and mineral water, and dissolution of the ceramic surface layer in distilled water.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
