1、Designation: C1720 11Standard Test Method forDetermining Liquidus Temperature of Immobilized WasteGlasses and Simulated Waste Glasses1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1720; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of

2、revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These practices cover procedures for determining theliquidus temperature (TL) of nuclear waste,

3、mixed nuclearwaste, simulated nuclear waste, or hazardous waste glass in thetemperature range from 600C to 1600C. This method differsfrom Practice C829 in that it employs additional methods todetermine TL. TLis useful in waste glass plant operation, glassformulation, and melter design to determine t

The three different approaches to measuring TLdescribed here include the following: (A) Gradient Tempera-ture Furnace Method (GT),(B)

7、Uniform Temperature FurnaceMethod (UT), and (C) Crystal Fraction Extrapolation Method(CF). This procedure is intended to provide specific workprocesses, but may be supplemented by test instructions asdeemed appropriate by the project manager or principle inves-tigator. The methods defined here are n

However, immiscibility may not becomeapparent until after testing is underway.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pou

9、nd unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to a

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

47、the TLis then related to the location of the crystalli-zation front in the heat-treated specimen (Fig. 4).4.1.1.2 Following the heat-treatment, the specimen shouldbe annealed at or near the glass transition, Tg, of the glass (thisshould be previously measured or estimated) to reduce speci-men cracki

If thespecimen is not optically transparent or is barely opticallytransparent (for example, in high iron glasses with highquantities of FeO), a cut or fractured section of the glass can bepolished very thin (that is, a thin section can be made) to allowfor observation.
