Abstract

27Al MAS nmr spectra from alkoxide-derived Al2O3-BaO-CaO-TiO2-ZrO2 Synroc precursors were studied after isochronal annealing in air for 1 h at temperatures between 200 and 1300 °C. At temperatures below 1000 °C, some tetrahedral and a trace of 5-coordinated Al were observed together with a majority of octahedral Al. The amount of nonoctahedral Al reached a maximum at 400–700 °C, beyond which it diminished and disappeared; essentially, complete conversion to octahedral Al took place on full crystallization at 1200–1300 °C, with the Al being contained in barium hollandite and minor α-alumina. The hollandite nmr signal was absent in Synroc which was hot-pressed at 1200 °C/20 MPa, presumably because of coincorporation of paramagnetic Ti3+ in the hollandite phase, but a signal from α-alumina was observed. Samples containing simulated waste fission products gave results similar to their waste-free counterparts when calcined at 750 °C in 3.5% H2/N2 and when hot-pressed.
