Synroc is recognized as the second generation waste form for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). In this research, one of the mostly studied Synroc minerals, zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7), was prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). CuO and MoO3 were employed as the oxidants with Ti as the reductant. Different TiO2/Ti ratios were selected to investigate reactivity and adiabatic temperature (T-ad) of the designed SHS reactions. Zirconolite was successfully synthesized as the main phase at varied TiO2/Ti ratios using CuO and MoO3 as the oxidants. The as-synthesized samples were readily solidified with desirable density and Vickers hardness.
