Abstract

The use of ceramics as matrices for immobilization of radionuclides for the purpose of their safe long-term disposal or useful application is studied with an emphasis placed on phase stability, structural integrity, hydrolytic stability, etc. This work implements a combined approach based on the sol–gel citrate synthesis of nanosized La₂Ti₂O₇ powder and its subsequent spark plasma sintering to produce dense ceramics. The phase composition and structure of the nanosized La₂Ti₂O₇ powder and the ceramic samples obtained in the temperature range of 900–1300°C were studied by powder X-ray diffraction and SEM. It was shown that the conditions of synthesis of the powder ensure the formation of nanosized crystalline La₂Ti₂O₇ grains, consolidation of which under spark plasma heating is accompanied by a change in the phase composition of La₂Ti₂O₇ from a single-phase monoclinic structure to orthorhombic structure with a LaTiO₃ impurity at temperatures above 1200°C. It was found that a change in the ceramic structure is accompanied by the formation of non-porous and defect-free monolithic samples. This type of change was shown to lead to an increase in the relative density (81.3–95.7%) and compressive strength (78–566 MPa) of the ceramics. However, the hydrolytic stability decreases, as indicated by increasing La³⁺ leaching rate from 10^–7 to 10^–5 g/(cm² day). The obtained results are useful for the systematic study of materials suitable for immobilization of radioactive waste in ceramics.

通过溶胶-凝胶合成和火花等离子烧结法合成 La2Ti2O7 纳米粉末及其陶瓷材料

摘要研究了利用陶瓷作为固定放射性核素的基质，以实现长期安全处置或有用应用的目的，重点是相稳定性、结构完整性、水解稳定性等。这项工作采用了一种基于柠檬酸溶胶-凝胶法合成纳米级 La2Ti2O7 粉末的组合方法，并随后采用火花等离子烧结法生产致密陶瓷。通过粉末 X 射线衍射和扫描电镜研究了纳米 La2Ti2O7 粉末和在 900-1300°C 温度范围内获得的陶瓷样品的相组成和结构。结果表明，粉末的合成条件确保了纳米级结晶 La2Ti2O7 晶粒的形成，在火花等离子体加热条件下，这些晶粒固结的同时，La2Ti2O7 的相组成也发生了变化，从单相单斜结构变为温度高于 1200°C 时带有 LaTiO3 杂质的正方体结构。研究发现，陶瓷结构的变化伴随着无孔和无缺陷整体样品的形成。这种变化导致陶瓷的相对密度（81.3%-95.7%）和抗压强度（78-566 兆帕）增加。然而，正如 La3+ 浸出率从 10-7 g/（cm2 天）增加到 10-5 g/（cm2 天）所表明的那样，水解稳定性降低了。所获得的结果有助于系统研究适合在陶瓷中固定放射性废物的材料。
