Abstract

Cs dissolution kinetics for Cszr2(PO4)3 in a variety of aqueous media at 70°C approximately obeyed a first-order law. However in 0.1 M NaHCO3,at1/2 law was appropriate. The Cs extraction was a minimum under neutral conditions. In the pH range of 1–4, the Cs extraction varied approximately as [H+]0.3 and was a stronger function of pH in alkaline media. The survival of α-Zr phosphate gel in water at 300°C was essentially confirmed. ZrP2O7, reacted sluggishly with water at 200–300°C to produce an apparently fully-protonated analogue of NaZr2(PO4)3
