Abstract

AbstactThe effect of V2O5 addition on molybdates crystallization tendency, glass structure and chemical durability of aluminoborosilicate glass belonging to SiO2-B2O3-CaO-Na2O-Al2O3-MoO3 system has been studied. The results confirm that V2O5 addition can effectively suppress the crystallization tendency of powellite and enhance the molybdenum solubility in the glass. The MoO3 solubility limit is found to be 2.8 mol% in the V2O5-containing aluminoborosilicate glass. Raman results reveal that V2O5 addition seems to modify the local structural environment of isolated MoO4 units and increase their chemical disorder in the glass, which is favored for molybdenum incorporation in the glass. The molar volume and glass transition temperature of samples are found to depend on V2O5 content. Product consistency test (PCT) results show that the normalized leaching rates of the V2O5-containing aluminoborosilicate glass maintain at a fairly low level compared with standard borosilicate glassy waste form.
