This study investigated the effects of aluminum concentration on simulated high level waste glass properties to eventually establish an aluminum limit (as single-component or multiple-component constraints) for glass formulations for high-aluminum Hanford wastes. A test matrix of 25 high-aluminum glasses (20 = Al2O3 = 28.57 wt%) was generated, and the chemical compositions were measured. The following properties were measured: crystal formation after centerline canister cooling, crystallinity as a function of temperature, density, viscosity, electrical conductivity, toxic leaching characteristics using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, product consistency using the Product Consistency Test, and SO3 solubility. These results are reported here.
