NMR Studies of Nuclear Waste Materials: Cutting Through Compositional and Morphological Complexity |
Résumé |
Multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to identify and quantify devitrification products in heterogeneous model nuclear waste materials containing up to 19 oxide components. These complex phase assemblages contain mixed-alkali compounds and substitutionally disordered chromate/molybdates. The presence of paramagnetic ions complicates the NMR analysis but also provides valuable information about the partitioning of species amongst phases. Hydration reactions appear to play a critical role in the formation of some precipitates which may impact the long-term chemical durability of these materials. Circumventing the formation of such phases requires knowledge of the high-temperature behaviour of the melt and the formation mechanisms during cooling. High-temperature magic-angle spinning NMR is used to characterize phase transformations and reactions amongst devitrification products during cooling, under conditions mimicking those of industrial processes and long-term storage. |
