The microwave heating of a crystal-free and a partially trevorite-crystallized nuclear waste glass simulant was evaluated. Our results show that a 500-mg monolith of partially crystallized waste glass can be heated from room temperature to above 1600°C within 2 minutes using a single-mode, highly focused, 2.45-GHz microwave, operating at 300 W. Using X-ray diffraction measurements, we show that trevorite is no longer detectable after irradiation and thermal quenching. When a crystal-free analog of the same waste glass simulant composition was exposed to the same microwave radiation, it could not be heated above 450°C regardless of the heating time. The reduction in crystalline content achieved by selectively heating spinels in the presence of glass suggests that microwave-specific heating should be further explored as a technique for remediating crystal accumulation in a glass melt.  相似文献

High‐level waste feed composition affects the overall melting rate by influencing the chemical, thermophysical, and morphological properties of a cold cap layer that floats on the molten glass where most feed‐to‐glass reactions occur. Data from X‐ray computed tomography imaging of melting pellets comprised of a simulated high‐aluminum feed reveal the morphology of bubbles, known as the primary foam, for various feed compositions at temperatures between 600°C and 1040°C. These feeds were formulated to make glasses with viscosities ranging from 0.5 to 9.5 Pa s at 1150°C, which was accomplished by changing the SiO2/(B2O3+Na2O+Li2O) ratio in the final glass. Pellet dimensions and profile area, average and maximum bubble areas, bubble diameter, and void fraction were evaluated. The feed viscosity strongly affects the onset of the primary foaming and the foam collapse temperature. Despite the decreasing amount of gas‐evolving components (Li2CO3, H3BO3, and Na2CO3), as the feed viscosity increases, the measured foam expansion rate does not decrease. This suggests that the primary foaming is not only affected by changes in the primary melt viscosity but also by the compositional reaction kinetic effects. The temperature‐dependent foam morphological data will be used to inform cold cap model development for a high‐level radioactive waste glass melter.  相似文献

The formation of a bubble structure in the glass of composition 26Li2O · 74SiO2 is investigated. The stable reproducible characteristics of the bubble structure are obtained, namely, dependences of the number of bubbles on the conditions of glass synthesis, i.e., the synthesis temperature, the synthesis time, and the type of initial reagents. It is shown that the number of bubbles decreases with an increase in the height of the sample (glass melt in the crucible), as well as with an increase in the synthesis temperature at a fixed synthesis time or with an increase in the synthesis time for each specific temperature. The bubble size distribution curves are obtained for all synthesis conditions. The reproducible bubble structure is determined for each layer of the glass sample, which is subsequently used in studying the kinetics of heterogeneous nucleation.  相似文献

Understanding composition-structure-property relationships of high-alumina nuclear waste glasses are important for vitrification of nuclear waste at the Hanford Site. Two series of glasses were designed, one with varying Al:Si ratios and the other with (Al + Na):Si ratios based on the international simple glass (ISG, a simplified nuclear waste model glass), with Al2O3 ranging from 0 to 23 mol% (0 to 32 wt%). The glasses were synthesized and characterized using electron probe microanalysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry, and infrared spectroscopy. Glasses were crystal free, and the lowest Na2O and Al2O3 glass formed an immiscible glass phase. Evolution of various properties—glass-transition temperature, percentage of 4-coordinated B, enthalpy of glass formation—and infrared spectroscopy results indicate that structural effects differ based on the glass series.  相似文献

Heating previously melted glasses usually produces gas bubbles in the melt at constant pressure. Bubble formation generally occurs in a narrow temperature range; if experimental conditions are carefully controlled the temperature at which gas bubbles form and the characteristics of the bubbles can be reproduced with reasonable accuracy. Extensive measurements were made with binary silicates of lithia, soda, and potash. Significant bubble evolution occurred only when there was sulfur in the glass. Bubbles formed at quite high temperatures (1400° to 1500°C) in dry oxygen but did not form in reducing atmospheres and quite stable foams resulted. In dry reducing atmospheres some bubble formation was observed at lower temperatures (1200° to 1300°C). The behavior was considerably altered in atmospheres containing water vapor and by changes in base glass composition or sulfur content.  相似文献

The effect of the process atmosphere composition on the foam formation of cathode-ray tube (CRT) glass containing graphite and MnO2 was studied using in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy at high temperature (HT-ESEM). When compared to He+4% H2, O2 or air, water steam facilitates glass grain sintering. This is probably due to the formation of hydroxyl groups at the glass grain surface that locally decrease the glass viscosity. We have shown that increasing the steam pressure from 50 Pa to 750 Pa decreases both sintering and foaming onset temperatures by approximately 100 °C, favouring the formation of closed pores in viscous glass. At high temperature, the presence of water steam or oxygen promotes foam formation, while the presence of a reducing atmosphere (He+4%H2) limits glass melt foaming. A synergetic effect of O2 and H2O on the onset temperature of glass sintering and foam formation is evidenced.  相似文献

The feed‐to‐glass conversion, which comprises complex chemical reactions and phase transitions, occurs in the cold cap during nuclear waste vitrification. To investigate the conversion process, we analyzed heat‐treated samples of a simulated high‐level waste feed using X‐ray diffraction, electron probe microanalysis, leaching tests, and residual anion analysis. Feed dehydration, gas evolution, and borate phase formation occurred at temperatures below 700°C before the emerging glass‐forming melt was completely connected. Above 700°C, intermediate aluminosilicate phases and quartz particles gradually dissolved in the continuous borosilicate melt, which expanded with transient foam. Knowledge of the chemistry and physics of feed‐to‐glass conversion will help us control the conversion path by changing the melter feed makeup to maximize the glass production rate.  相似文献

The shrinkage of an oxygen single-bubble is investigated in a cerium-doped borosilicate glass melt at 1150°C. Nine glass samples are synthesized and investigated, utilizing three different amounts of Ce2O3 and three different redox ratios (Ce-(III)/Cetotal). Employing in-situ observation, the single-bubble behavior is recorded with a camera. For each glass melt, five experiments are performed with different initial bubble radii. The shrinkage rate () depends strongly on the cerium content as well as the redox ratio. Numerical calculations are also conducted to support the understanding of the bubble shrinkage mechanism in the given cases. The model adequately estimates the experimental data for several cases, and an explanation is proposed for the cases, in which it does not. Moreover, we demonstrate, physically and mathematically, the influence of the initial radius of the bubble on the mass transfer between the rising bubble and the melt. We confirm the utilization of the “modified Péclet number,” which is a dimensionless number that takes into consideration the influence of multivalent elements on mass transfer. Finally, we master the bubble shrinkage behavior by normalizing the experimental data employing a characteristic time for the mass transfer (τ).  相似文献

Owing to its good chemical and thermal durabilities at high temperatures, Monofrax K-3 refractory is widely used in nuclear waste vitrification as a lining material in melting vessels. However, the corrosion of K-3 refractory during the vitrification of nuclear waste is a serious problem because it affects the melter's safety, performance, and lifetime. Therefore, in the present study, we have focused on unearthing the impact of glass network formers, such as SiO2, B2O3, and Al2O3, in a model nuclear waste glass composition on the corrosion of Monofrax K-3 refractory. The corrosion tests have been performed per ASTM C621 at 1150°C for 5 days. The dimensional measurements on corroded K-3 refractory suggest that Al2O3 and SiO2 tend to reduce the refractory corrosion (neck loss), with the effect of Al2O3 being significant. A corroded region on the K-3 refractory at the melt–refractory interface is observed. The corrosion occurs via a coupling of the melt infiltration induced by a capillary effect and the dissolution of Al, Mg, and Fe components from K-3 into the melt through chemical reactions. A Cr-rich layer is retained on the glass contact surface of the corroded K-3 refractory.  相似文献

A foaming process for waste LCD glass is presented, in which waste LCD glass is recycled to produce alumino-borosilicate foamed glass, which can eventually be used as a heat-insulating material, a light-weight aggregate for civil engineering applications, or a carrier for sewage treatment. The effects on waste LCD glass foaming of a variety of carbon foaming agents, metal salt foaming agents, and bonding agents are examined, as well as other factors such as chemical composition, foaming temperature, and grain size of the raw materials from the waste LCD glass. After examining all the variables that influence the foaming process, it was confirmed that the waste LCD glass is suitable as a raw material for producing alumino-borosilicate foamed glass. The alumino-borosilicate foamed glass has excellent physical properties, with density less than 0.14 g/cm3, heat conductivity less than 0.054 W/(mK) @20 °C, bending strength more than 35 N/cm2, compressive strength more than 39 N/cm2 and a coefficient of linear thermal expansion less than 4.5 × 10?6 m/m °C. This clearly shows that the lightweight alumino-borosilicate foamed glass could be useful for various applications.  相似文献

The statistical parameters of Taylor bubbles in cryogenic slug flow along glass tube were studied experimentally for various inclination angles θ (0°–60° from the vertical direction) and four tube inner diameters D (14, 18, 25 and 32 mm) by using high speed digital camera. The distributions and mean values of initial formation position, and the length and velocity of Taylor bubbles along the tube at various inclination angles were obtained. Initial position of Taylor bubbles increases as tube inner diameter increases and the effect of tube diameter on Taylor bubble initial position becomes more obvious at θ ≥ 30°. Taylor bubble length shows an allometric decreasing trend with the increasing of tube inner diameter. The influence of inclination angle and axial position on the length and velocity of Taylor bubble in cryogenic slug flow agrees qualitatively with conventional air–water system. The maximum mean velocity of Taylor bubble occurs at 30° ≤ θ ≤ 45° and the minimum mean length of Taylor bubble occurs at 0° ≤ θ ≤ 20°. The Mean length of Taylor bubble increases along the tube for x/D ≤ 60. © 2011 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering  相似文献

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is a key parameter to investigate for application in nuclear waste immobilization in borosilicate glasses. Tg for several glasses containing iodine (I) has been measured in order to determine the I effect on Tg. Two series of glass composition (ISG and NH) containing up to 2.5 mol% I and synthesized under high pressure (0.5 to 1.5 GPa) have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The I local environment in glasses has been determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and revealed that I is dissolved under its iodide form (I). Results show that Tg is decreased with the I addition in the glass in agreement with previous results. We also observed that this Tg decrease is a strong function of glass composition. For NH, 2.5 mol% I induces a decrease of 24°C in Tg, whereas for ISG, 1.2 mol% decreases the Tg by 64°C. We interpret this difference as the result of the I dissolution mechanism and its effect on the polymerization of the boron network. The I dissolution in ISG is accompanied by a depolymerization of the boron network, whereas it is the opposite in NH. Although ISG corresponds to a standardized glass, for the particular case of I immobilization it appears less adequate than NH considering that the decrease in Tg for NH is small in comparison to ISG.  相似文献

Behavior of Multicomponent Gas Bubbles in Glass Melts   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A mathematical model is proposed to study the behavior of multicomponent gas bubbles in glass melts. The effects of the melt temperature on bubble radius, trajectory, and composition were studied as a function of time, both accounting for and disregarding bubble boundary motion. It is shown that accounting for the boundary motion results in shorter refining times, smaller bubbles, and larger concentrations of the gaseous species than if this motion is disregarded. It is also shown that the bubble trajectory is almost a linear function of time and that mass transfer has a very small effect on bubble trajectory and refining times; however, it has a strong influence on the bubble radius, which, in the absence of mass transfeir, increases linearly with the temperature.  相似文献

Y2Ti2−xSnxO7 (x = 0–2) pyrochlore sodium aluminoborosilicate glass–ceramics (GCs) are produced by calcining the pelletized Y–Ti–Sn oxide mixture and glass precursor at 1200 or 1300°C for 4 h. The metal oxide mixture is prepared by a soft chemistry route. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy are employed to investigate the formation of pyrochlore GCs and local crystal structures. Near phase pure Ti-rich pyrochlores are produced with minor phase SnO2 observed for Sn-rich materials. The cell parameters of the pyrochlore structures refined by Le Bail fitting are in good agreement with the published data and increase linearly with the gradual increment of Sn substitution. With progressively increasing Sn proportion on pyrochlore B-site, Raman characteristic bands of the pyrochlore structure become sharper and well defined. The Raman A1g peak position and its full width at half-maximum are linearly progressed with increasing x (Sn). The presence of the melting glass facilitates the pyrochlore formation, with ceramic grain sizes ranging from submicron to microns. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction observations indicate the sample possesses a relatively high crystallographic perfection at the atomic level. This new series of pyrochlore GCs and the method disclosed herein may pave the way for further materials development as potential nuclear waste forms.  相似文献

Traditionally, in order to simplify the bubble growth process in a polymer melt, an isothermal model is typically used. In fact, the temperature of the polymer melt is changing during the foaming process. In order to accurately study the growth mechanism of bubbles in polymer melts, we build a physical and mathematical model of bubble growth in a polymer melt under nonisothermal conditions. The parameters of pressure, zero-shear viscosity, relaxation time, Henry's constant, diffusion coefficient, and surface tension were determined. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method was used to solve the nonisothermal bubble model in the polymer melt. A computational program is developed to find the dimensional change during the bubble growth process, and the correctness of the model is verified. The nonisothermal growth mechanism of and factors influencing bubbles in the polymer melt are analyzed. Combined with the design of experiment (DOE) analysis method, the transfer function of the bubble radius and the maximum growth rate of bubbles with the process parameters were obtained, such as cooling rate, system pressure, and gas concentration. The results show that system pressure has the most significant effect on bubble growth. At the same time, a bubble growth prediction model is built, which can be used to predict the growth of bubbles. Through optimization analysis, it can be used to control the growth of bubbles. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136, 47210.  相似文献

In many materials processing and manufacturing situations such as steel, aluminum, ceramics, and glass, gas bubbles can form in liquid and solid phases. The presence of such bubbles affects the thermophysical properties and radiation characteristics of the two-phase system and hence the transport phenomena. This paper presents a general formulation of the radiation characteristics of semitransparent media containing large gas bubbles (bubble radius is much larger than the wavelength of radiation). Sample calculations for the spectral absorption and extinction coefficients and single scattering albedo of soda–lime silicate glass containing bubbles are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the effect of the volumetric void fraction and the bubble size distribution. Results clearly show that the presence of bubbles strongly affects the radiation characteristics of the semitransparent media containing entrapped gas bubbles, particularly if bubbles, void fractions, and the spectral absorption coefficient of the continuous phase are small.  相似文献
