Vitrification of Hanford bismuth phosphate and uranium recovery process sludges

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6596432

Bismuth Phosphate Process and Uranium Recovery Process sludges stored at Hanford can be effectively immobilized by conversion to borosilicate glasses. Addition of either TiO/sub 2/ or ZrO/sub 2/ to the glass formulations will improve chemical durability. Lithia additions reduce viscosity; however, some compromise in chemical durability must be made to obtain low-melting glasses.
