Abstract
Synroc B powders have been prepared by a number of techniques, involving the hydrolysis of
appropriate mixtures of organometalligfnd inorganic Ti, Zr and Al precursor compounds, and
subsequent sorption of Ba and Ca cations under alkaline conditions. Chemical reactions
occurring during hydrolysis and precipitation of the powders were characterised by various
techcniques (conductivity, pH, etc.), and the physical properties of the resulting powders were
examined by electron microscopy, mercury porosimetry, BET analysis, XRD and vibrational
spectroscopy. The effect of processing method on the physical properties of the powders will be discussed. © The Authors
