Small-scale glass melter tests using alkoxide/hydroxide slurry feeds containing simulated West Valley waste

Creators

  • 1. Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Richland, WA

Description

The melting behavior of two hydroxide feeds containing alkoxide-derived constituents was tested by using laboratory-scale continuous and in-can melters. No difficulties were encountered in continuous feeding of the slurry mixtures. Changes in the chemical makeup of the batch altered melting behavior and rate. Both the feed and the glass were characterized
