Structural and Leaching Properties Study of Ce and Pr Lead Silicate Glasses

Abstract:

In this study, Cerium (Ce) and Praseodymium (Pr) containing lead silicate glasses were produced with 2 different weight percentage (low 0.2 wt% and high 0.4 wt% content). The presence of Ce and Pr in the glass mixture might be expected to alter the structural and leaching glass properties. The radiation shielding properties of the synthesized glasses is explained in the form of lead equivalent study. The FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer) was performed as to observe the structural changes of the synthesis glasses at 1.5 Gy gamma radiation exposures. Leaching study is performed by ICP (Inductively coupled plasma spectrometry) analysis.
