Effect of CaO Content on Crystalline Phases and Chemical Stability of Lanthanum Borosilicate GlassCeramics
The Na2OCaOLa2O3B2O3SiO2 glass were prepared by meltquenching method. Then, the silicate oxyapatite borosilicate glassceramics were obtained by heat treatment of the prepared glass. After that, the Xray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the product consistency test (PCT) were used to explore the effect of CaO substitution for SiO2 on phases, microstructure and chemical stability of borosilicate glassceramics. The results show that with the increase of CaO content, the diffraction peaks of silicate oxyapatite crystalline phase are enhanced, and the others are weakened until disappearing. When the mole fraction of CaO is 15%, only the CaLa4(SiO4)3O crystalline phase is detected in the glassceramics samples. The crystalline phases types, shapes, sizes and distributions of glassceramics are affected by CaO content, and the cluster and growth of ceramics crystalline phases are caused by the change of CaO content. After immersing by the method of PCT for 28 d, the normalized leaching rates (g·m-2·d-1) of Si, Ca and La of all samples remain below the order of 10-3, indicating that the glassceramics samples have excellent chemical stability. In addition, the glassceramics samples containing the CaO mole fraction of 15% exhibit the best chemical stability. The results show that the borosilicate glassceramics containing silicate oxyapatite are potential substrates for immobilization highlevel radioactive wastes containing Larich and some actinide rich.
