Abstract

This study used a ternary Na₂O-B₂O₃-SiO₂ matrix to simulate the immobilization of complex TRPO waste. The study investigated the relationship between the solidified bodies with different TRPO waste contents and their solid solubility, FT-IR, Vickers hardness, and density. The study found that the maximum amount of TRPO waste that can be immobilized in the Na₂O-B₂O₃-SiO₂ matrix was 20 wt.%. When the TRPO waste content ranged from 5-15 wt.%, it was primarily immobilized in the glassy phase. When the TRPO waste content exceeded 20 wt.%, the crystalline phases NdBO₃ and Na₃Nd(BO₃)₂, which contain the main waste element Nd appeared. Samples containing 20 wt.% TRPO waste resulted in leaching of 10^-6 g·m^-2·d^-1. The presence of NdBO₃ and Na₃Nd(BO₃)₂ crystals resulted in a decrease in the Vickers hardness and density of the samples. The highest values for Vickers hardness and density were 6.77 GPa and 2.7 g^-1cm^-3, respectively. The borosilicate matrix utilized in this study has proven to be an effective immobilization of complex TRPO wastes and holds promise as a treatment matrix for TRPO wastes.

用 Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 基质固定 TRPO 废物：含钕晶体的影响

本研究使用 Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 三元基质来模拟复杂 TRPO 废物的固定化。研究调查了不同 TRPO 废物含量的固化体与其固溶性、傅立叶变换红外光谱、维氏硬度和密度之间的关系。研究发现，Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 基体可固定的最大 TRPO 废物量为 20 wt.%。当 TRPO 废料含量在 5-15 重量%之间时，其主要固定在玻璃相中。当 TRPO 废料含量超过 20 wt.% 时，出现了含有主要废料元素钕的结晶相 NdBO3 和 Na3Nd(BO3)2。含有 20 重量%TRPO 废料的样品的沥滤量为 10-6 g-m-2-d-1。NdBO3 和 Na3Nd(BO3)2 晶体的存在导致样品的维氏硬度和密度下降。维氏硬度和密度的最高值分别为 6.77 GPa 和 2.7 g-1cm-3。本研究中使用的硼硅酸盐基质已被证明可有效固定复杂的 TRPO 废物，并有望成为 TRPO 废物的处理基质。
