    Non-Linearity in Glass Composition Dependence of Dissolution Rates: Effect of Solution pH

    In our previous studies on the optimization of glass compositions for high-level nuclear waste vitrification it was found that, over certain composition ranges, PCT leachate concentrations increased dramatical...

    X-ray Absorption Studies of Vanadium Valence and Local Environment in Borosilicate Waste Glasses

    XANES and EXAFS data were collected and analyzed to characterize vanadium in borosilicate glasses used for immobilization of sulfur-containing nuclear wastes. Earlier studies suggested that adding vanadium to ...
