Compositional Variation Tests on DuraMelter 100 with LAW Sub-Envelope A2 Feed (LAWA88 Glass) in Support of the LAW Pilot Melter
- The Catholic Univ. of America, Washington, DC (United States)
The Vitreous State Laboratory at The Catholic University of America (VSL) is developing and testing glass formulations for RPP-WTP waste envelopes to provide data to meet the RPP--WTP contract requirements and to support system design activities. That work is based upon small-scale batch melts ("crucible melts") using waste envelope simulants. Selected formulations have also been tested in small-scale continuously-fed joule-heated melters (DMlO and DMl00 systems) and, ultimately, in the LAW Pilot Melter. Such melter tests provide information on key process factors such as feed processing behavior, dynamic effects during processing, sulfate incorporation, processing rates, off-gas amounts and compositions, foaming control, etc., that cannot be reliably obtained from crucible melts. This sequential scaleup approach in the vitrification testing program ensures that maximum benefit is obtained from the more costly pilot-scale tests and that the most effective use is made of that resource. The principal objective of the work described in this report was to collect the necessary small-scale melter test data with a LAW Sub-Envelope A2 waste simulant in order to support the next series of tests with the same melter feed on the LAW Pilot Melter.
