ABSTRACT:
A process for vitrifying liquid radioactive waste is provided.
In this process, a solution of a water-soluble vitrifying-facilitating inorganic compound in liquid radioactive waste is mixed with a solution obtained by hydrolyzing an alkyl silicate and then the solution mixture is left to gel. Thereafter, the resulting gel is irradiated with microwave to calcine the gel, and the calcined gel is further heated to melt and then cooled to obtain a vitrified product.
