Abstract

The results of the studies of uranium valent states in the borosilicate glasses incorporating the components of uranium-containing sludge of Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC, Zheleznogorsks.) is presented in this work. The glasses were made under oxidative and reducing conditions.

The optical spectrophotometry, nuclear gamma-resonance (NGR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that glasses produced under oxidative conditions are characterized by the presence of only U(6+), while U(4+) in the reducing conditions is present along with U(6+). The ratio U(6+)/to U(4+) varies in depending on the synthesis conditions.

The glass samples synthesized under oxidative conditions were researched at initial solid state. The others synthesized under reducing conditions was dissolved preliminary without distort of uranium valency.

The effect of U(4+)/U(6+) ratio on the uranium leach rates from the glasses has been studied at 90° using MCC-1 test.
