Description
Full text: We report the synthesis of yttrium aluminosilicate (YAS) glasses. Hydrochloric acid is used to catalyze the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate in the presence of yttrium nitrate and aluminum nitrate. So we could produce (YAS) glasses in micron diameter. Radioactive yttrium aluminosilicate (YAS) glasses have been used to provide in situ irradiation of malignant tumors in the liver. YAS glasses are particularly suitable because they are: 1) Not toxic 2) Easily made radioactive 3) chemically insoluble while the glass is radioactive. Yttrium aluminosilicate (YAS) micro bulks were obtained by different method and then spheroidized by passing them through a high-temperature flame. These microspheres irradiated in a nuclear reactor to obtain Y-90 microsphers.
