Abstract
This study investigates the effects of chromium concentration and redox on simulated high-level waste (HLW) borosilicate glass properties for high-chromium Hanford wastes. Thirty glasses with target 1 ≤ Cr2O3 ≤ 2.5 wt% were fabricated and analyzed. The Cr redox ratios were measured using K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure along with properties of interest to vitrification of Hanford HLW: crystal formation after centerline canister cooling, crystallinity as a function of temperature, viscosity, electrical conductivity, toxic characteristic leaching procedure and product consistency test (PCT) responses, and SO3 solubility. Only Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were identified in the test glasses, and their ratio was found to be largely correlated to optical basicity. Cr redox appeared to have a significant impact on most of the properties, except for PCT. Most properties were affected differently by Cr(III) than by Cr(VI). These effects were quantified and rationalized based on the previously studied bonding nature of the two primary oxidation states.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Applied Glass Science (IJAGS) endeavors to be an indispensable source of information dealing with the application of glass science and engineering across the entire materials spectrum. Through the solicitation, editing, and publishing of cutting-edge peer-reviewed papers, IJAGS will be a highly respected and enduring chronicle of major advances in applied glass science throughout this century. It will be of critical value to the work of scientists, engineers, educators, students, and organizations involved in the research, manufacture and utilization of the material glass. Guided by an International Advisory Board, IJAGS will focus on topical issue themes that broadly encompass the advanced description, application, modeling, manufacture, and experimental investigation of glass.
