The effect of V _2 O _5 addition on molybdates crystallization tendency, glass structure and chemical durability of aluminoborosilicate glass belonging to SiO _2 -B _2 O _3 -CaO-Na _2 O-Al _2 O _3 -MoO _3 system has been studied. The results confirm that V _2 O _5 addition can effectively suppress the crystallization tendency of powellite and enhance the molybdenum solubility in the glass. The MoO _3 solubility limit is found to be 2.8 mol% in the V _2 O _5 -containing aluminoborosilicate glass. Raman results reveal that V _2 O _5 addition seems to modify the local structural environment of isolated MoO _4 units and increase their chemical disorder in the glass, which is favored for molybdenum incorporation in the glass. The molar volume and glass transition temperature of samples are found to depend on V _2 O _5 content. Product consistency test (PCT) results show that the normalized leaching rates of the V _2 O _5 -containing aluminoborosilicate glass maintain at a fairly low level compared with standard borosilicate glassy waste form.
