Vitrification of waste containing salts

Conference ·
OSTI ID:120873

Technologies are currently being developed by U.S. Department of Energy`s nuclear waste sites to immobilize low-level and hazardous wastes for permanent or long-term disposal. This report describes recent efforts made at the Savannah River Site to examine the effects of salts on vitrification. Statistically designed screening experiments were performed to examine the solubility of several salt species in glass. The corrosion behavior of typical glass melter materials in glass melts containing high salt concentrations was also studied.
