IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction experiments have been performed on dehydrated Csexchanged natrolite to systematically investigate successive transitions under high pressures and temperatures. At pressures above 0.5(1) GPa using H2O as a pressure-transmitting medium and after heating to 100 °C, dehydrated Cs16Al16Si24O80 (deh-Cs-NAT) transforms to a hydrated phase Cs16Al16Si24O80·16H2O (Cs-NAT-II), which has a ca. 13.9% larger unit-cell volume. Further compression and heating to 1.5 GPa and 145 °C results in the transformation of Cs-NAT-II to Cs16Al16Si32O96 (anh-Cs-POL), a H2O-free pollucite-like triclinic phase with a 15.6% smaller unit-cell volume per 80 framework oxygen atoms (80Of). At pressures and temperatures of 3.7 GPa and 180 °C, a new phase Cs1.547Al1.548Si6.452O16 (Cs-HEX) with a hexacelsian framework forms, which has a ca. 1.8% smaller unit-cell volume per 80Of. This phase can be recovered after pressure release. The structure of the recovered Cs-HEX has been refined in space group P63/mcm with a = 5.3731(2) Å and c = 16.6834(8) Å, and also been confirmed by HAADF-STEM real space imaging. Similar to the hexacelsian feldspar (i.e., BaAl2Si2O8), Cs-HEX contains Cs+ cations that act as bridges between the upper and lower layers composed of tetrahedra and are hexa-coordinated to the upper and lower 6-membered ring windows. These pressure-and temperature-induced reactions from a zeolite to a feldspar-like material are important constraints for the design of materials for Cs+ immobilization in nuclear waste disposal.
