Title: Iodosodalite synthesis with hot isostatic pressing of precursors produced from aqueous and hydrothermal processes

Abstract

Iodosodalite powders were synthesized using aqueous and hydrothermal methods, with or without sodium borosilicate glass binders, and then hot isostatically pressed (HIP) at 900 ? and 175 MPa for 3 h to convert into waste forms. After HIPing, the structures, compositions, morphologies, porosities, and leach rates of the aqueous and hydrothermally produced iodosodalite samples were compared. X-ray diffraction patterns of HIPed samples showed that iodosodalite remained as the dominant phase. However, the fraction of the iodosodalite phase decreased after HIPing, indicating decomposition of the iodosodalite structure during the HIP process. Scanning electron microscopy and chemical imaging on the cross sections of HIPed samples showed homogeneous elemental distribution for aqueous-grown iodosodalite, whereas hydrothermally grown iodosodalite samples had more heterogeneity and porosity. The densities of HIPed samples with more glass binder were generally higher than sampled HIPed without binder. The leach tests on samples containing 20 mass% glass binder showed that the iodine dissolution rate of HIPed hydrothermally grown iodosodalite was about 4 times higher than iodosodalite by aqueous method. This study provides alternative techniques for immobilizing iodine-streams in iodosodalite waste forms.
