Borosilicate
glass beads are the primary
preference of material worldwide for immobilising both HLW and low and
intermediate level waste. This selection is based on the flexibility of
borosilicate glass with regard to waste loading and the capability to
incorporate numerous different kinds of waste elements, coupled with good
glass-forming capability, chemical sturdiness, and mechanical integrity, as
well as excellent thermal and radiation stability.
The
main components of Chemical
laboratory glass beads is SiO2 with
relatively high B2O3, Cao, MgO, Na2O, and Al2O3Contents
and minor amounts of numerous other oxides.

Which is the Main
Borosilicate Glass Beads forming element?
Silicon
is the chief glass forming constituent in a borosilicate waste glass and its
basic elements are SiO4 tetrahedra, which encompass bridging or cross linking
and non-bridging atoms of oxygen.
In
a silicate glass the SiO4- tetrahedral vertices connect these elements to each
other through bridging oxygen atoms so that network consists of chains of
various lengths. The glass networks are not regular as in the case of
crystalline silica; for instance, the bond angle Si-O-Si can range from 120
degree to 180 degree while in quartz it is a constant.
Silicon
and oxygen generally have coordination numbers of six and higher, form weaker
bonds to oxygen than the network formers and act to charge-balance the
negatively charged borosilicate or else glass borosilicate network.
