Abstract
The leaching behavior of the high-level waste (HLW)-glass in underground wa ter was investigated under static leaching tests by solution analysis. Larg e amounts of ions of Na+ and Ca2+ participated in the ion-exchange reaction with glass. The reactions of glass with H+ (or H3O+) were compressed. The ion-exchange reaction of Na+ (or Ca2+) with glass components dominated the glass leaching mechanism at a temperature range 50-150 degreesC. The networ k hydrolysis reaction is weak in underground water (UGW). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
