Abstract

La-Ce-Gd titanate-zirconate pyrochlore-based ceramics was synthesized at the lab-scale inductive melting unit with a 56 mm inner diameter cold crucible. Batch feeding rate and melting ratio were 3 kg/h and 3 kW h/kg respectively. The ceramics is composed of 85–90 vol% zoned grains of the pyrochlore structure phase, the sample has excellent chemical durability in hot water and may be considered as a promising matrix for actinide – rare earth fraction of high level waste.
