Fe K-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements were performed on glass samples of (Fe3O4)0.3(P2O5)0.7 with various amounts of Na2O or UO2. Near-edge and extended XAFS regions are studied and comparisons are made to several reference compounds. We find that iron in the base glass is ∼25% divalent and that the Fe2+ coordination is predominantly octahedral, while Fe3+ sites are roughly split between tetrahedral and octahedral coordinations. Also, we measure roughly one Fe–O–P link per iron. Substitution of Na2O or UO2 up to 15 mol% primarily affects the first Fe–O shell. The results are compared to data from the related material Fe3(P2O7)2.

The local structure of iron and uranium ions in a series of iron phosphate glasses with the general composition (40 – x)Fe2O3–xUO2–60P2O5 and (1–x–y)(40Fe2O3–60P2O5)– xUO2–y(Na2O or CaO) was investigated using Fe K-edge and U LIII-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Replacing Fe2O3 by UO2 in the glass caused more distortion in the coordination environment of Fe(III) ions. Extended x-ray absorption fine structure fits revealed that the Fe–P bonds observed in the base glass also existed in all the waste-loaded glasses. X-ray absorption near-edge structure showed that the uranium ions were predominantly present as U(IV) in the glasses. Uranium ions were coordinated to approximately 8 ± 1 oxygen atoms and 2.5 ± 0.6 phosphorus atoms at an average distance of 2.47 ± 0.02 and 3.8 ± 0.02 Å, respectively. There were no Fe–U or U–Fe neighbors observed, indicating that uranium ions occupied voids in the glass away from the PO4 units. These conclusions were supported by Mössbauer, x-ray photoelectron, and Raman spectroscopic data.

ABSTRACTFe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was applied to study the structural response of iron phosphate glasses to atomic displacements arising from ion beam irradiation, as an analogue of α-recoil damage arising from actinide immobilization. Analysis of XAS spectra demonstrated reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ as a consequence of 2 MeV Kr+ and 2 MeV Au+ implantation to a fluence of 2 x 1016 ions / cm2 and 5 x 1015 ions / cm2, respectively.
