Abstract
This study was aimed at the synthesis, study of phase relations and characterization of the garnet ([Ca1.5GdCe0.5]VIII[ZrFe]VI[Fe x Al3−x ]IVO12, x = 0−2) intended as promising matrix for actinides (Pu) immobilization. The optimum temperatures of the fabrication of the garnets ceramics are 1400 °C at x = 2 and 1500 °C at x = 0−1. The garnets lattice parameters and the content of Ce, as an imitator of Pu, increased with the content of iron. It was suggested that the ability of the garnet for incorporation of Pu was closely related to the ionic radii of the elements occupied the four-and six-coordinated sites of the structure.
