The dissolution kinetics of five glasses along the NaAlSiO4–NaBSiO4 join were used to
evaluate how the structural variations associated with boron–aluminum substitution affect …

We have leached fly ash samples from six power stations in potassium hydroxide solutions
at a water-to-solid mass ratio of 40 g/g. A wet chemical method was developed which …

Single-pass flow-through tests were conducted to determine the pH (7–12) and temperature
(23–90° C) dependence of kinetic rate law parameters; ko, η, and Ea, for the dissolution of …

This review describes the role of natural analogues in the development of solid radioactive
wasteforms. Considerable work has been carried out on the major matrices proposed or …

The dissolution kinetics of five chemically complex and five chemically simple sodium
silicate glass compositions (Na–Si±Al±B) were determined over a range of solution …

Single-pass flow-through tests were conducted to study the effects of self-radiation damage
from alpha decay on dissolution kinetics of three radiation-aged Pu-bearing (1 mass …

Selecting appropriate buffers is crucial for evaluating the chemical durability of glass under
controlled conditions such as in the EPA 1313 test designed to measure elemental release …

The aqueous corrosion of a series of four glasses under static conditions at 65 and 90° C
was studied by means of solid and solution analyses. Various glass compositions were …

The fission product, 99Tc, presents significant challenges to the long-term disposal of
nuclear waste due to its long half-life, high fission yield, and to the environmental mobility of …

The immobilization of long-lived actinides produced from spent fuel reprocessing poses a
significant environmental concern. In this work, we synthesized glass-ceramics at low …
