Ba(OH) 2 – blast furnace slag composite binders for encapsulation of sulphate bearing nuclear waste
Source abstract
Abstract
The present study investigated the feasibility of the immobilisation of sulphate bearing radioactive wastes in blast furnace slag (BFS) based binders. BaSO4–BFS composites were produced via two methods using Na2SO4 as a waste simulant, along with Ba(OH)2 to promote precipitation of BaSO4 in an insoluble sulphate form and the consequent activation of the BFS. BaSO4 was effectively formed by both methods, and solid wasteforms were successfully produced. Although both methods produced BaSO4 embedded in the cement-like composites, different reaction products including ettringite and witherite were produced, depending on the order Ba(OH)2 was mixed with the system. These results show that the immobilisation of soluble sulphate-bearing aqueous wastes is achievable in Na2SO4–Ba(OH)2–BFS composites.
