Correct measurement of reduction capacity is necessary for waste form capacity. Ce(IV) method should be used for total reduction capacity of waste form. Blast furnace slag is a major source of reduction in cementitious waste form. Additional getters can be used to increase reduction capacity in waste form. a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: The reductive capacities of dry ingredients and final solid waste forms were measured using both the Received 12 August 2015 Cr(VI) and Ce(IV) methods and the results were compared. Blast furnace slag (BFS), sodium sulfide, SnF2, Received in revised form and SnCl2 used as dry ingredients to make various waste forms showed significantly higher reductive 21 Se
