Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Crystalline CsZr2(PO4)3 with the NZP [NaZr2(PO4)3] structure was prepared by a sol gel procedure. The purity and composition of the sample were determined by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis as well as by X-ray phase analysis and IR spectroscopy. CsZr2(PO4)3 is thermally stable in the range 7 K < T < 1553 K. Temperature dependences of the heat capacity C 0p = f(T) and thermal conductivity λ = f(T) of the phosphate in the range 320–650 K corresponding to thermal conditions of a nuclear waste repository were studied. The standard thermodynamic functions C 0p (T), H 0(T)–H 0(0), S 0(T), and G 0(T)–H 0(0) were calculated. The thermodynamic functions of formation of CsZr2(PO4)3 were calculated. The possibility of decreasing the temperature of the synthesis-immobilization to 1000 K was experimentally confirmed.
