Abstract

Rb-doped Ba-hollandite and synroc-C samples were prepared for aqueous dissolution studies at 90°C in deionized water using MCC-1 protocols. Small amounts of possibly Rb-bearing BaTiO3, hibonite and alumina accompanied the major Rb-doped (0.1 formula units) hollandite phase. The Rb loadings in the synroc samples ranged from 0.89 to 2.67 wt%. Rb leached at <0.2 g/m2/d from hollandite samples and <0.1g/m2d from synroc, with the values decreasing with increasing dissolution time. The variance between the dissolution rates for the different Rb-doped hollandite and synroc samples is discussed, in terms of Rb-bearing minor phases.
