. Impact of sulfate on glass durability appears to be strongly glass composition dependent. For CCW glasses, two distinct types of glass dissolution were obsemed, om by network dissolution, and another by preferential leaching of NaOS-0 and Ii-0-SO groups. 'Ihe preferential leaching, however, is not associated w i t h crystah of Na2S04 and Ii2S04 in glass, suggesting that clusters of Na-Os-0 and IiQS-0 exist in glass. Mi-hannels of these cIusters are suspected to cause high-Ieaching rates of these species frmn the glass matrix. Chemical durability of HLW glasses is affected by phosphate in h w aspects, which are associated w i t h crystal formation in glass through the change of residual glass conpsition. For a glass w i t h a d l fraction of phosphate crystals, Na3po,0r Li3p04 or both, glass &rabidity was either unchanged or improved slightIy. ?his can be explained by the remvaI of aIkali oxides from the glass matrix, which in tum strengthens the residual glass xtwork, Howver, crystallization decreases gIass dmbility when large amunts of allcali-phosphate crystals V precipitate in the glass. For: @ass containing high P205, crystallizaGon of &Po, and W S i 0 4 occurs in slowly cooled glass samples (using the canister centerline cooling treatment). The crystallization is detrir~ntal to glass durability, resulting in a sharp increase (up to a factor of IO) in sodium release tested using the 74ay PcTproCedure. The deteriorationof glass durabirity in this case can be attributed to wakening of the glass network by remvd of Al or Si from the glass matrix through crystalIization. In HLW glasses spiked w i t h Cr2Q (up to 0.8 wt%) a d X Q (up to 5 wt%), no impact on glass durability was found.vi
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
