Researchers have found a new approach for monitoring and modeling glass corrosion in environmental and nuclear waste management. They have uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help ...
A new study has uncovered how tiny differences in boron atoms can help scientists better predict the long-term behavior of glass used to store hazardous waste. The findings, published in Environmental ...
Glass is widely used to immobilize hazardous constituents—from radionuclides in vitrified nuclear waste to metals in industrial residues—yet it is metastable. In groundwater, it hydrolyzes, ...
