Structural Origins of High MoO <sub>3</sub> Solubility in Peraluminous Borosilicate Glasses
that is subsequently sequestered in molybdate-rich domains. The combined evolution of Mo coordination, modifier redistribution, and network depolymerization provides a mechanistic basis for the markedly enhanced Mo solubility in peraluminous compositions. These findings establish new structural guidelines for designing aluminoborosilicate waste forms with substantially greater capacity to incorporate Mo-rich nuclear waste streams.
