The immobilization of radioactive strontium (Sr) from liquid effluents, a byproduct of nuclear fission and accidents, presents significant environmental and public health challenges. This study evaluates the immobilization of Sr in a glass matrix by comparing the effects of different sintering temperatures. The analyses started from three temperatures 800ºC, 900ºC and 1000ºC for each of the four compositions, which vary the addition of niobium (Nb) content in the vitreous matrix by 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% in mol. The highest temperature was excluded because its deformation did not match the final objective, at 900ºC the compositions had better results in density and water absorption, so that at the same temperature the composition with 4% niobium responded better to the results. The study underscores the significance of treating temperature and Nb content in the glass matrix for effective Sr immobilization, offering valuable insights for the development of safe and sustainable nuclear waste management strategies.
