Abstract

The comparative leaching behavior of a soda-lime glass and of a simulated nuclear glass has been investigated through H and Na depth profiles obtained with resonant nuclear reaction analysis. It is shown that glass surface hydration involves both H+/Na+ ion exchange and permeation of molecular water, the first process being dominant at low temperature and solution ionic strength and the second for high values of these two parameters. The shape of the H profile as well as the response of H retention to thermal treatment indicate that on the nuclear glass, most of the molecular water is more weakly bonded than on the soda-lime glass.
