ABSTRACT

Glasses in the ternary system Cr₂O₃-PbO-P₂O₅ were prepared by direct melting of the mixture with stoichiometric proportions of the reagents Cr₂O₃, PbO and (NH₄)₂HPO₄ at 1080℃. The glasses obtained are transparent in colour and have a non-hygroscopic appearance. The study of the dissolution rate was carried out on ternary glasses xCr₂O₃-(45-x)PbO-55P₂O₅ with (1 ≤ x ≤ 4; mol%), immersed in distilled water at 90℃ for 24 days, indicating a maximum of chemical durability when the level of chromium oxide passed through 2 mol%. Both, IR spectra and X-ray diffraction have indicated the predominance of metaphosphate or cyclic metaphosphate groups with some traces of isolated orthophosphate groups when the Cr₂O₃ content is equal to x = 2. Analysis of the density values also, has showed a maximum density for x = 2 mol%. The covalent radius values of oxygen have indicated that the minimum value rcal (O^2–) is observed for x = 2 mol% and therefore a relatively high reinforcement of the metal-oxygen-phosphorus (Cr-O-P) bonds. SEM Micrographs have exhibited two phases, a vitreous phase and a crystalline phase. The radical change in the structure from ultraphosphate Q³ groups to ring metaphosphate Q² and orthophosphate groups Q⁰ seems to be the cause of the formation of crystallites. Beyond 2 mol% of Cr₂O₃, the structure of the glass changed relatively and the orthophosphate phases increased to the detriment of the metaphosphate phases. We observed a decrease in chemical durability. However, it was confirmed that the dissolution rate (D_R) of the S₂ analysed compound is comparable to the values of borosilicate glasses which are used as alternative materials for the immobilisation of nuclear waste substances.
