Abstract

As a part of the optimization study for achieving the highest possible Hanford and Savannah River Site waste loading into acceptable borosilicate glasses, thirty glass compositions were selected for testing at KRI. These thirty test matrix glasses were designed to augment existing data within the compositional regions of interest with relatively high concentration of Al2O3 between 10 and 20 wt%.

This paper reports experimental data on liquidus temperature (TL) and crystallization behavior of all synthesized glasses as well as durability of quenched and heat-treated glasses. The results of this study will be used to develop glass formulations for specific DOE waste streams to maintain or meet waste loading and/or waste throughput expectations while satisfying critical process and product performance related constraints.
