Abstract:Leaching experiments on a simulated borosilicate waste glass were performed using a static method in the presence of PbO and bentonite. Ions in leachates were analyzed by ICP, while leached samples were characterized by several surface analytical methods such as XPS, SEM, EPMA, XRD and topography. As the simulated waste glass was leached in the presence of PbO and bentomte, lead hydroxide and insoluble elements (Ti, Nd, Ru and Zr ) were detected on the surface, respectively. On the other hand, a large amount o… Show more
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.
