Geopolymers as candidates for the immobilisation of low- and intermediate-level waste
Geopolymers should be serious waste form candidates for ILW (intermediate level waste), insofar as they are more durable than Portland cement and can pass the PCT-B test for high-level waste. Thus an alkaline ILW could be considered to be satisfactorily immobilised in a geopolymer formulation. However a simulated Hanford tank waste was found to fail the PCT-B criterion even for a waste loading as low as 5 weight-%, very probably due to the formation of a soluble sodium phosphate compound(s). This suggests that it could be worth developing a 'mixed' GP waste form in which the amorphous material can immobilise cations and a zeolitic component to immobilise anions. The PCT-B test is demonstrably subject to significant saturation effects, especially for relatively soluble waste forms.
