  • Industrial Ceramics
CONT

... research at the Rockwell International Science Center has focused on developing a generic technology for the consolidation of high-level wastes into polyphase ceramics. The basic approach has been to tailor waste compositions with chemical additives so that upon consolidation a dense ceramic assemblage is formed that chemically binds the waste species into known phases.

CONT

Research trends in the USSR for the incorporation of highly radioactive wastes into glass and ceramics have been presented ...: phosphate and borosilicate glasses, composites such as glass-like materials embedded in metal matrices and glasses containing crystalline host phases for radionuclides are under investigation.

OBS

TiO2 - A ceramic matrix. ... the encapsulation of waste particles in a nonradioactive matrix has been used in a number of processes (e.g. Vitromet, glass in a lead matrix). However, in most cases metals were used as matrix materials because of their low melting points in comparison to ceramics.

OBS

See also "solidification" in TERMIUM.
