A scanning electron microscopy study of bismuth and phosphate phases in bismuth phosphate process waste at Hanford

This study characterizes major bismuth and phosphate-bearing phases in Hanford radioactive waste from the bismuth phosphate process using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Large bismuth phases displayed lath morphology and consisted of sodium, iron, bismuth, and phosp...

Zusammenfassung:This study characterizes major bismuth and phosphate-bearing phases in Hanford radioactive waste from the bismuth phosphate process using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Large bismuth phases displayed lath morphology and consisted of sodium, iron, bismuth, and phosphorus. The majority of the bismuth and phosphate observed was in small particulate (
