Reproducible preparation of lithium tetraborate fused beads for XRF analysis of glass and
mineral samples is of paramount importance for analytical repeatability. However, as with all …

The influence of cerium oxide on the thermal properties and the glass structure has been
studied for the Li 2 O–(Na 2 O–K 2 O)–B 2 O 3–SiO 2 system. It has been established that …

A new strategy for a one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-4, 6-diaryl pyrimidines using CsOH/γ-
Al2O3 as a heterogeneous, reusable basic catalyst is presented. The developed synthetic …

A novel nuclear waste form was synthesized for the disposal of electrorefiner salt from
pyrometallurgical reprocessing of used nuclear fuel. Its synthesis constitutes two steps …

During nuclear waste vitrification, loss of sodium (Na) and boron (B) occurs, as these
elements are highly volatile at high temperatures, which affects the properties of the glass …

A side effect of high level waste vitrification at 1100° C is the volatilization of radioactive
cesium (Cs), recaptured further on in the process as a solid aerosol by a dust scrubber …

In this study, elemental recovery was performed using phase separation from simulated high‐
level radioactive waste (HLW) glass. To cause phase separation, SiO2 and B2O3 were …

Volcanic degassing is one of the major emission sources in nature for atmospheric mercury,
and the only one able to directly reach the stratosphere and troposphere. The actual …

Caesium borosilicate glasses with the composition 0˙ 45SiO2–0˙ 30B2O3–0˙ 175Na2O–0˙
025Cs2O–0˙ 05MO (mole fraction), where M= Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ or Zn2+ were …

A series of Cs-borosilicate glasses containing 10 wt% Cs2O have been prepared and
characterised. CaO, TiO2, ZnO and MnO, alone and in combination, have been incorporated …
