Synthetic Melted Rock-Type Wasteforms

Abstract
Glass-ceramic materials based on sphene, pyroxenes, apatite as well as various SYNROC formulations have been produced through melting in a laboratory electrically-heated furnace and inductive-heated melter (“cold crucible”). Materials prepared were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, electron-probe microanalysis, infra-red and EPR spectroscopies. Basic properties such as leach rates of radionuclides, density and compressive strength have been determined. Melted SYNROC-B and C phase compositions produced by induction melting are similar to hot-pressed SYNROC.
