Abstract
Effective disposal of radioactive waste is crucial for safe development of nuclear energy. In this study, flash sintering technology is used for the first time to quickly solidify simulated Sr-contaminated soil waste. The waste can be converted into a glass–ceramic phase by heating the waste at 1100 °C for 1 min during flash sintering. The phase evolution during flash sintering as a function of density and amorphous fraction was systematically investigated. Additionally, the microstructural evolution of the matrices and the leaching behavior of simulated waste elements (e.g., Sr) were evaluated. This study explores the feasibility of using flash sintering for treating radioactive contamination waste.
期刊介绍:
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, an independent journal with a global perspective and strong clinical focus, features original clinical research, expert reviews, news, and opinion pieces in each monthly issue. Covering topics like diabetes, obesity, nutrition, and more, the journal provides insights into clinical advances and practice-changing research worldwide. It welcomes original research advocating change or shedding light on clinical practice, as well as informative reviews on related topics, especially those with global health importance and relevance to low-income and middle-income countries. The journal publishes various content types, including Articles, Reviews, Comments, Correspondence, Health Policy, and Personal Views, along with Series and Commissions aiming to drive positive change in clinical practice and health policy in diabetes and endocrinology.
