Abstract

Abstract

Zircon has been widely used in the field of geological dating, ceramics, glass, refractories and casting, and also has a good application prospect in the field of the immobilization of nuclear waste, due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Therefore, zircon is a strategic non-metallic mineral. In this paper, the research on the immobilization of nuclear waste using zircon is summarized. The synthesis methods, simulated actinides immobilization behavior, thermal stability, chemical stability and irradiation stability of zircon waste form are introduced. Furthermore, the development in the future research of zircon is prospected.
