Abstract
Aqueous alteration of five Ti-Zr-oxide-based ceramics containing elements simulating long-lived radionuclides was studied experimentally by leaching at 90 °C in deionized water for more than one year under conditions of high solid/liquid ratios. Four of these ceramics were synthesized by coldcrucible melting (two Synroc-like materials, one zirconia, and one aluminotitanate) and the fifth ceramic was a hot-pressed Synroc. Melted Synroc-like ceramics have the same major constitutive phases as hot-pressed Synroc, but crystal sizes are very different, millimetric as opposed to micrometric, respectively.
