摘 要：In this study, Nd-bearing zirconolite-rich ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction process using CaF2,ZrO2, Ti,TiO2, Fe2 O3 and Nd2O3 as the raw materials. Neodymium was used as trivalent actinide surrogate and designed to substitute the Ca and Zr sites of zirconolite with general stoichiometry of Ca1-xZr1-xNd2 xTi2O7（0≤x≤0.3）. Density of Fe-Nd-O sample reaches a maximum value of 4.13 g/cm2 after being sintered at 1325 ℃ for 42 h. Three major phases, namely zirconolite, perovskite and pseudobrookite, are observed in all these samples. The EDX result shows that Nd2O3 can be successfully incorporated into the lattice structure of the prepared zirconolite-rich minerals and replace the Ca sites of zirconolite and perovskite with Fe3+ as the charge-compensating ion. Furthermore, the thermal conductivities are all in the range of 1.51-1.67 W/（m·K）. The normalized elemental leaching rates of Ca and Nd in the Fe-Nd-0.2 sample keep in low values of 6.20 × 10-2 and 4.86 x 10-4 g/（m2·d） after 42 d.
