Conversion of nuclear waste to molten glass: Formation of porous amorphous alumina in a high-Al melter feed

Journal Article Xu, Kai ; Hrma, Pavel ; Washton, Nancy ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The transition of Al phases in a simulated high-Al high-level nuclear waste melter feed heated at 5 K min-1 to 700°C was investigated with transmission electron microscopy, 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, and X-ray diffraction. At temperatures between 300 and 500°C, porous amorphous alumina formed from the dehydration of gibbsite, resulting in increased specific surface area of the feed (~8 m2 g-1). The high-surface-area amorphous alumina formed in this manner could potentially stop salt migration in the cold cap during nuclear waste vitrification.

Melter feed viscosity during conversion to glass: Comparison between low-activity waste and high-level waste feeds

Journal Article Jin, Tongan ; Chun, Jaehun ; Dixon, Derek R. ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

During nuclear waste vitrification, a melter feed (generally a slurry-like mixture of a nuclear waste and various glass forming and modifying additives) is charged into the melter where undissolved refractory constituents are suspended together with evolved gas bubbles from complex reactions. Knowledge of flow properties of various reacting melter feeds is necessary to understand their unique feed-to-glass conversion processes occurring within a floating layer of melter feed called a cold cap. The viscosity of two low-activity waste (LAW) melter feeds were studied during heating and correlated with volume fractions of undissolved solid phase and gas phase. In contrast to themore »« less

Melting rate correlation with batch properties and melter operating conditions during conversion of nuclear waste melter feeds to glasses

Journal Article Lee, Seung Min ; Cutforth, Derek A. ; Mar, Derek ; ... - International Journal of Applied Glass Science

The rate of conversion of nuclear waste melter feed to glass is affected by the selection of melter feed materials and by melter design and operation. The melting rate correlation (MRC) is an equation that relates the glass production rate with two types of variables: (1) feed and melt properties: conversion heat, cold-cap bottom temperature, and glass melt viscosity; and (2) melter design and operation parameters: melter geometry, melter operating temperature, and gas bubbling rate. The MRC shows good agreement for an extended melting-rate data set of high-level waste (HLW) melter feeds and a data set generated for low-activity wastemore »« less
