Abstract

We studied the phase stability and melting temperature of alumina-doped alkaline earth and rare earth -Ti-O system with the composition variation. Melting of the mixture of Nd2O3, CeO2, SrO, TiO2 and A12O3 at 1673 K in 1 hour produced RE2Ti3O9 phase, and the chemical formula of the oxide was assumed to be (Ce,Nd,Sr)2(Ti,Al)3O9. A Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurement showed that the melting temperature of this compound was 1646 K. Al and Sr was considered to contribute to the reduced melting temperature of the oxides in the system. The hardness comparing with ceramic wastes and the leach rate superior to glass waste forms were confirmed
