Abstract
Borosilicate and zincborosilicate glass powders containing up to 20 wt.% of cesium and barium oxide were prepared by the sol-gel method and characterized by XRD and SEM. Monolithic samples of borosilicate and zinc borosilicate glasses were prepared by pressing and annealing the above powders. Leach rates of barium and cesium from the samples in water were measured as a function of time. Leach rates of cesium and barium from zincborosilicate were significantly lower than borosilicate glass, and barium showed higher leachability than cesium in all the prepared glasses.
