Vitrification Process Ceramics

The process converts liquid radioactive and chemical waste into a solid stable glass eliminating environmental risks.

Vitrification process ceramics.

Basudeb karmakar in functional glasses and glass ceramics 2017. 9 3 1 vitrification and crystallization technique. Farzaneh in advances in composites manufacturing and process design 2015. Vitrification is the solidification of a melt into a glass rather than a crystalline structure crystallization.

Vitrification is a proven and reliable technology used at u s. Vitrification is a process. And foreign defense waste processing facilities. As vitrification proceeds the proportion of glassy bond increases and the apparent porosity of the fired product becomes progressively lower.

These are the well established techniques for converting various kinds of solid wastes into several reusable materials with excellent chemical stability 1 3 5. Vitrification takes place when t g of reactive system reaches the cross linking isothermal temperature t iso this is a reversible change of the viscous liquid state to glassy solid state for nongelled system or to cross linked glassy state for gelled system. The vitrification and crystallization techniques yield dense glasses and glass ceramics respectively. Vitrification is the progressive partial fusion of a clay or of a body as a result of a firing process.

Vitrification is the progressive partial fusion of a clay or of a body as a result of a firing process as vitrification proceeds the proportion of glassy bond increases and the apparent porosity of the fired product becomes progressively lower. Bodies do not have specific vitrification points. The partial vitrification process can be analyzed through a phase diagram such as that shown in in silicate based ceramics bonding and consolidation are accomplished by partial vitrification. Glass clay bodies and glazes vitrify but in ceramics use of the term focuses most on clay bodies.
