Both cementation and vitrification was shown by preliminary experiment
s to be applicable for treatment of the spent composite absorbers with
polyacrylonitrile binding matrix for final disposal Loadings of cemen
t mix with composite absorbers up to 5-9% (w/w) were achieved Admixtur
es of natural clinoptilolite were found to improve compressive strengt
h of the samples. The presence of PAN binding polymer was found not to
disqualify the composite absorber tested from final treatment by vitr
ification.
