Abstract

Macromolecular and Materials Chemistry
Synroc is a multi-component titanate ceramic designed to immobilize High Level Waste (HLW) from nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. This paper discusses the preparation and fabrication of Synroc monoliths from the microspheres and their physical properties. The resulting microstructures and leaching characteristics of the Synroc monoliths are also presented.
