Erosion of Magnesium Potassium Phosphate Ceramic Waste Forms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Phosphate-based chemically bonded ceramics were formed from magnesium potassium phosphate (MKP) binder and either industrial fly ash or steel slag. The resulting ceramics were subjected to solid-particle erosion by a stream of either angular Al2O3 particles or rounded SiO2 sand. Particle impact angles were 30 or 90° and the impact velocity was 50 m/s. Steady-state erosion rates, measured as mass lost from a specimen per mass of impacting particle, were dependent on impact angle and on erodent particle size and shape. Material was lost by a combination of fracture mechanisms. Evolution of H2O from the MKP phase appeared to contribute significantly to the material loss.
