    Abstract

    During the reaction of HLW glass with interstitial clay water at different temperatures with various ratios of glass surface area to solution volume (SA/V) and durations, Eu released from the glass forms predominantly Eu-humate colloids (organic colloids) by a complexation reaction. The size distribution and stability of Eu-humate colloids have been characterized. It is likely that inorganic colloids which are mainly composed of Si, Al and Ca are generated from the corrosion of waste glass by a nucleation reaction.
