Structural Behavior of Tc and I ions in Nuclear Waste Glass
Technetium-99 (Tc) and iodine-129 (I) are two long-lived fission products of high volatility, which makes their study in glass structure challenging. Both technetium and iodine have broad ranging multivalent chemistry and complex reactivity dependent on redox conditions; technetium and iodine redox may vary from Tc to Tc and from I to I. Relatively few studies have been done on their speciation...
متن کاملCharacterisation of heterogeneous molybdate and chromate phase assemblages in model nuclear waste glasses by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
A series of sodium borosilicate glasses containing cesium, molybdenum, and chromium was prepared to investigate the partitioning of chromium amongst the glass and phase-separated crystalline molybdates. The precipitates were examined by (133)Cs, (23)Na, and (95)Mo MAS NMR, revealing a phase assemblage consisting of Na(2)MoO(4), Na(2)MoO(4)·2H(2)O, Cs(2)MoO(4), Cs(2)CrO(4), CsNaMoO(4)·2H(2)O, an...
متن کاملCoordination Environments of Highly Charged Cations (Ti, Cr, and Light REE’s) in Borosilicate Glass/Melts to 1120°C
The local environments around Ti, Cr, and several light rare-earth elements (La, Ce, and Nd) were investigated by in-situ XANES spectroscopy in a number of complex borosilicate glasses and melts (to 1120 °C) that are used for nuclear waste storage. Examination of the high-resolution XANES spectra at the Ti K-edge shows that the average coordination of Ti changes from ~5 to ~4.5. Cr is dominantl...
متن کاملRhenium solubility in borosilicate nuclear waste glass: implications for the processing and immobilization of technetium-99.
The immobilization of technetium-99 ((99)Tc) in a suitable host matrix has proven to be a challenging task for researchers in the nuclear waste community around the world. In this context, the present work reports on the solubility and retention of rhenium, a nonradioactive surrogate for (99)Tc, in a sodium borosilicate glass. Glasses containing target Re concentrations from 0 to 10,000 ppm [by...
متن کاملStructure of Rhenium-Containing Sodium Borosilicate Glass
A series of sodium borosilicate glasses were synthesized with KReO4 or Re2O7, to 10,000 ppm (1 mass%) target Re, to assess effects of large concentrations of rhenium on glass structure and fto estimate solubility of Tc, a radioactive component in low active waste nuclear glasses. Rhenium was used as a surrogate for Tc for laboratory testing, due to similarities in chemistry, ionic size, and red...
