Abstract

Zirconolite-rich ceramics were produced by the cold crucible melting technique in an air atmosphere, at 1550±50 °C and 1 atm. Four samples with overall composition (in wt.%): 4.9–14.3 CaO; 19.0–41.3 ZrO2; 24.1–42.6 TiO2; 1.3–11.3 Al2O3; 6.8–30.0 Gd2O3, and 1.1–8.5 SiO2 have been studied. Total phases in the ceramics consist of major zirconolite and minor rutile, perovskite, zirconia, aluminium titanate, and glass. The Gd2O3 content in zirconolite reaches up to 31.4 wt.% corresponding to the formula: (Cao4,Gd0.7)Zri.0(Tii4,Alo 5)070. The data on the phase composition agree well with coupled Gd incorporation into the mineral structure. Ca(H) + Ti(IV) = Gd(III) + Al(III), and 2Gd(III) - Ca(II) + Zr(IV). The highest Gd contents observed in the other phases are 25.4 % for zirconia, 12.6 % in glass, 8.8 % in perovskite, and 1.4 % for rutile. The rest of the elements' distribution in the samples are analyzed.
