Abstract

The crystallization behavior of a ferri-silicate α-waste glass was studied by means of several experimental techniques. The main crystal phase showed a plate-like morphology and was identified as a monoclinic pyroxene. The Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation was used for the determination of the kinetic parameters of the process. Following both isothermal and non-isothermal techniques, the Avrami exponent, n, was found to be nearly one. The activation energy for crystal growth is Eg = 356 kJ mole−1. The crystallization process is governed by instantaneous nucleation and diffusion controlled two dimensional growth.
