A fraction of the UK Pu inventory may be immobilised in a zirconolite ceramic matrix prior to disposal. Two zirconolite compositions, targeting CaZr0.80Ce0.20Ti2O7and CaZr0.80U0.20Ti2O7, were fabricated by hot isostatic pressing, alongside a reformulated composition, nominally Ca0.80Zr0.90Ce0.30Ti1.60Al0.40O7, with an excess of Ti and Zr added to preclude the formation of an accessory perovskite phase. Materials were subjected to accelerated leaching in a variety of acidic and alkaline media at 90 °C, over a cumulative period of 14 d. The greatest Ce release was measured from CaZr0.80Ce0.20Ti2.00O7exposed to 1 M H2SO4, for which 14.7 ± 0.2% of the original Ce inventory was released from the wasteform into solution. The extent of Ce leaching into the solution was correlated with the quantity of perovskite present in the wasteform, and associated with the incorporation and preferential dissolution of Ce3+. CaZr0.80U0.20Ti2.00O7exhibited improved leach resistance relative to CaZr0.80Ce0.20Ti2.00O7, attributed to the decreased proportion of accessory perovskite, with 7.1 ± 0.1% U released to in 8 M HNO3after 7 d. The Ca0.80Zr0.90Ce0.30Ti1.60Al0.40O7composition, with no accessory perovskite phase, presented significantly improved leaching characteristics, with < 0.4%Ce released in both 8 M HNO3and 1 M H2SO4. These data demonstrate the need for careful compositional design for zirconolite wasteforms with regard to accessory phase formation and surrogate choice.
