- Summary
- The effects of Na/sub 2/O, K/sub 2/O, B/sub 2/O/sub 3/, TiO/sub 2/, CaO, and ZnO contents were determined on the leach rate and homogeneity of a potential high-level waste glass. It was found that the two characteristics are in competition, with variations of CaO having the greatest effect and TiO/sub 2/ having the least effect. Boron oxide content is important in control of Na/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/ formation and separation. Sodium molybdate formation can also be controlled by the use of reducing agents. The waste glass discussed in this report can tolerate from 0 to 50 percent waste content with minor effects on leachability and viscosity.
