Abstract
Both cementation and vitrification was shown by preliminary experiments to be applicable for treatment of the spent composite absorbers with polyacrylonitrile binding matrix for final disposal. Loadings of cement mix with composite absorbers up to 5–9% (w/w) were achieved Admixtures of natural clinoptilolite were found to improve compressive strength of the samples. The presence of PAN binding polymer was found not to disqualify the composite absorber tested from final treatment by vitrification.
