Abstract
Element partitioning behavior between immiscible silicate melt and molybdate melt was determined by phase equilibrium experiments in the SiO2-B2O3-Al2O3-ZnO-CaO-Na2O-Li2O-MoO3 system at 1200 °C and 1000 °C. By combining these results and thermodynamic data of silicate melts and molybdenum compounds, CALPHAD analysis was performed to construct a database for thermodynamic calculation of phase equilibria for MoO3-bearing alumino-borosilicate melts. The thermodynamic database will be useful for predicting the phase separation of molybdate melt and crystallization of Powellite (CaMoO4) in vitrification process of high-level radioactive waste.
