Abstract

Zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) is one of the components of Synroc materials, which are regarded throughout the world nuclear as the second generation of high-level nuclear waste forms. The zirconolite phase was synthesized by a sol-gel method, with one variant of the method making use of ascorbic acid as a strong complexing agent. Into the structure of the zirconolite was incorporated 10 mol% Sr. Undoped and doped samples were examined by thermal analyses and X-ray diffraction. Addition of ascorbic acid to the sols lowered the firing temperature and promoted formation of the zirconolite phase. Copyright © Materials Research Society 2014.
