摘要

Formulas of phosphates K5/3MgE4/3(PO4)3 (E = Ti, Zr) have been designed from crystal-chemical positions, their synthesis has been carried out, thermal stability, thermal expansion and temperature dependence of heat capacity have been studied. The samples obtained were characterized by XRD, IR, TG-DSC, scanning electron microscopy and microprobe electron analysis. The crystal structure and unit cell parameters were obtained by powder X-ray diffraction with Rietveld calculations (langbeinite structure, sp. gr. P213). The isobaric heat capacities of K5/3MgZr4/3(PO4)3 phosphate were measured from T = 5 to 365 K by adiabatic vacuum calorimetry and the thermodynamic functions were calculated from the experimental data. An anomaly in the heat capacity curve was observed at T below 6 K, the nature of which was explained by the magnetic disorder-order phase transition. In the temperature range of 298–1473 K, no effects were observed in the TG-DSC curves, indicating the thermodynamic stability of the samples. A minimum thermal expansion value of 2.0‧10−6 K−1 was found for K5/3MgTi4/3(PO4)3 in the 173–473 K range. Due to the structural stability of langbeinite, wide range of ionic substitutions, thermal, radiation and chemical resistance to leaching under time-varying conditions, phosphates with such structure can be considered as environmentally safe ceramic matrices for nuclear waste immobilization.
