Immobilization of sulfate-containing wastes in borosilicate glass using fluoride additives
The choice of borosilicate glasses as a matrix for immobilizing radioactive wastes is largely justified by the properties of the final vitrified product to be stored for a long time: High chemical, thermal, and radiation resistance. The structure of borosilicate glasses makes it possible to use them as a matrix for high and medium level wastes of diverse chemical composition. However, individual components of the wastes - sulfate, chloride, and molybdate-containing components - have a limited solubility in borosilicate glasses. This results in phase separation (stable liquation) in the vitrification process and decreases the quality of the vitrified product.
