Physical Chemistry of Portland-Cement Hydrate, Radioactive-Waste Hosts: Final Report, January 16, 1987-December 31, 1987

摘要

This is a final report summarizing the results of a study of the physical and crystal chemistry of potential hydroxylated radioactive waste hosts compatible with portland cement. Research has focused on the identification and evaluation of hydrated host phases for four ions: cesium, strontium, iodine and boron. These ions were chosen because they are among the most long lived of the radioactive waste ions as well as the most difficult to immobilize with cement-based materials. Results show that such phases do indeed exist, and that they are excellent host phases for the above ions. (ERA citation 14:019330)
