Description
The physical and thermomechanical properties of packing zircon masses on aluminochromophosphate binders (ACPB), which are concentrated aqueous solutions of mixed aluminium and chromium phosphates, were investigated. The conditions of drying and annealing of zircon masses on ACPB and the solid-phase reaction with the mixed (U, Pu)O2 nuclear fuel at 1500 deg C are described. The optimum composition of packing mass was determined: 95% zircon of fraction 0.06 - 3.0 mm, 5% refractory clay finer than 0.5 mm, and 7% ACPB with 1.5 g/cm2 density. The mass is characterized by a high strength, and low porosity and water absorption. The packing zircon mass an ACPB is recommended for use in induction furnaces of apparatus for thermal unsealing of spent fuel elements of fast reactors
