Nuclear power station radioactive liquid waste evaporation process method
Technical field
The invention belongs to nuclear power station radioactive waste processing and disposal technical field, relate to the processing method of a kind of radioactive liquid waste, particularly relate to a kind of nuclear power station radioactive liquid waste evaporation process method.
Background technology
In nuclear power station running, producing various waste liquid, often containing radioactive substance in waste liquid, this waste liquid can not arbitrarily discharge, and the waste liquid containing radioactive substance is originated, with Daya Gulf nuclear power base
Ground Ling'ao nuclear power plant one phase is example, and table 1 below is seen in main waste liquid source:
Table 1 waste liquid source table
These waste liquids need to be evaporated processing when filtration and desalination are still unsatisfactory for emission request or chemicals are defective;Through heating concentration, distillate discharges, and concentrated solution solidifies.But distillate discharge needs reach control standard: it is 0.5MBq/m that Daya Gulf nuclear power base radioactivity controls standard3, can discharge lower than this numerical value, otherwise need to continue with.But owing to the composition of radioactive liquid waste is especially complex so that supplied materials characteristic is more and more prominent on the impact of evaporation efficiency.Some time, in the normal situation of equipment operational factor, it may appear that the situation that radioactive liquid waste evaporator effectiveness is low.
Generally, the evaporation effect of evaporation element adopts decontamination factor or decontamination factor to represent.The evaporation element total decontamination factor decontamination factor equal to vaporizer EV and each pallet+demister of ZE() the product of decontamination factor.The decontamination system of the design of the radioactivity vaporizer in Daya Gulf nuclear power base is 10-6, owing to, in actual motion, the discharge of waste liquid determines according to its radioactivity size, so for the ease of using, do not use decontamination factor to represent the effect of evaporation element, but use radioactive liquid waste emission control standard, as weighing the quality passing judgment on radioactivity evaporation element efficiency.Vaporizer distillate radioactivity is exceeded the situation of control standard, be all called evaporation element efficiency low.
According to analysis, cause the radioactivity low possible factor of evaporation element efficiency have following some: the atomizing effect of charging, the speed (column evaporator and decontaminating column) of steam, condensate return amount (reflux ratio), the characteristic (such as composition, concentration, volatility, foaming) of supplied materials, demister effect, operational factor.When radioactive liquid waste vaporizer occurs in inefficient situation, nuclear power station common practice is: first rinses metallic sieve, then adjust evaporation capacity or repeated evaporation, or adds defoamer, and last way is that emptying vaporizer concentrated solution is evaporated device and rinses.Generally, the distillate exceeding control standard can reach control standard by these means.But still there will be after various means (concentrated solution cannot empty again), distillate is still above controlling standard, it is impossible to the situation of qualified discharge.In order to protect environment, it is to avoid distillate exceedes the discharge standard discharge within nuclear power plant or avoids affecting the properly functioning of power station or overhaul, it has to taking concentrated solution premature cure, the measure that vaporizer is rinsed is to ensure the efficiency of evaporation element.Consequence is the increase in the solid waste of nuclear power station, adds high subsequent treatment cost.

Embodiment 2, the following is the present invention be applied to ridge Australia one phase nuclear power station waste liquid evaporation.
1, in ridge Australia one phase nuclear power station waste liquid evaporation element (L9TEU), November 9 days, occur that efficiency is low.In the processing procedure using conventional method, the on-the-spot condenser CS of discovery has a large amount of foam to produce when sampling, therefore suspect that efficiency is low excessive relevant with the foam of waste liquid in vaporizer EV, the investigation of relevant evaporation activity has found since to 2007 simultaneously, after every secondary evaporator EV adds the Na/B that alkali adjusts vaporizer EV concentrated solution, the efficiency of vaporizer EV all there will be this general character phenomenon of super inner quality standard, and the concentrated solution pH value of the vaporizer EV of ridge Australia one phase nuclear power station is 8.5, higher than Daya Bay nuclear power plant 6.3, confirm that vaporizer EV concentrated solution bubbles by overtesting serious.Use defoamer also the efficiency of vaporizer EV cannot be processed the inner quality standard 0.5MBq/m meeting power station3Within.Therefore, three wastes group of power plant determines first to start with from the pH adjusting concentrated solution, and it adjusts bottom line and is no more than the pH value 6.3 of Daya Bay nuclear power plant, to attempt whether can improving the efficiency of vaporizer EV.
November 24, after completing first time acid adding (we use the industrial nitric acid that concentration is 55% that power station is conventional).Vaporizer EV concentrated solution pH value is fallen below 7.0 by 8.4, and in acid adding process, the sampling result of condenser CS progressively be have decreased to less than 0.2MBq/m by initial 1.05MBq/m33, less than inner quality standard 0.5MBq/m3.Reach expection requirement.
After completing concentrated solution passback on November 27, the γ level of condenser CS becomes big, and the pH value of condenser CS raises, consistent with expection;PH value in vaporizer EV is basically unchanged, and radioactivity is also less much than originally, bigger with original expection difference, it is believed that be the reason that deposits to residue of the radioactive substance in former vaporizer EV.
November 29, determine again to turn down concentrated solution pH value, in order to control risk, first the pH value of vaporizer EV concentrated solution be adjusted to 6.8 by 7.0.
December 1-2 day, complete acid adding, it is contemplated that acid adding amount be 50L, reality has about added 42L.The pH value of final evaporation device EV concentrated solution be have decreased to 6.34 by 7.04.The sampling result of condenser CS is by the γ=5.4MBq/m before acid adding3, have decreased to less than 0.2MBq/m3, the γ=50257MBq/m of vaporizer EV concentrated solution3, than (γ=7343MBq/m before acid adding3) be significantly increased, it is believed that it is caused by intrasystem radioactive substance is acid washed.
December 5 days, the sampling result of vaporizer EV finds that the γ of concentrated solution has declined to a great extent 4264
MBq/m3, December has had dropped down to 1566MBq/m when within 6th, again sampling3.December 10th is 888MBq/m3, and concentrated solution color substantially shoals, from before brownish black become khaki, insoluble matter significantly reduces, and suspects that the possible cause that radioactivity reduces is radioactive substance such as silver etc. and other impurity (calcium, magnesium, silicon, phosphate, Organic substance etc.) there is the phenomenons such as precipitation, absorption together.Have confirmed that boron is not engaged in deposition process.
December 7 days, owing to current Na/B ratio is less than chemical specification requirement, determines progressively the NA/B ratio of L9TEU001 vaporizer EV to be transferred to normal (0.2-0.25).Adjust gross activity and the efficiency of following the tracks of L9TEU001 vaporizer EV during NA/B.
December completed to add alkali work, the sampling result of vaporizer EV: the radioactivity of concentrated solution has gone back up to 3963MBq/m at 12 morning3.Na/B=0.217, has reached expection.The state 5 sampling result still γ < 0.2MBq/m of condenser CS3, the detersive efficiency of vaporizer EV is there are no degradating trend.
Till December 14 to 19 days, the overstandard waste water of L9TEU03/04/016BA is all disposed (about 110m3), the equal γ < 0.2MBq/m of sampling result3.The L9TEU001 vaporizer EV gross activity of 19 days is 27981MBq/m3Significantly go up, concentrated solution color is also more obvious than last time to be deepened, sample has a little precipitation, contact agent dose rate in conjunction with Radiation monitoring point declines (being dropped to 2.6mSv/h by 5.8 time maximum) and the 9TEU-RE thermal efficiency rises, and (104MT be have decreased to 106 degree by 117 degree) judges, L9TEU001 vaporizer EV deposit exists reversible case.
Adjusting in concentrated solution pH value process, the radioactive variation situation of condenser CS distillate is as shown in Figure 2.
Three, the different pH laboratory simulation test on concentrated solution deposition impact:
Process of the test and result are shown in table 2 below:
Concentrated solution is affected process of the test and result by the different pH of table 2
Conclusion: result of the test with on-site actual situations coincide relatively good.By the change of pH, deposition presents reversible phenomenon.
Evaporation equipment is as it is shown in figure 1, Fig. 1 is evaporation element structure and flow chart thereof.Fig. 1 showing, the capital equipment of the liquid waste treatment system evaporation element installed in nuclear auxiliary building is as follows:
One heater (001RE), it ensures the supply of the auxiliary steam flow of heating concentrated solution.
One evaporation pillar (001EV), the release of overheated concentrated solution occurs in this device.This device ensure that the first time Gravity Separation between the steam of generation and the concentrated solution of incidental impurities.The main purpose of the atomizing spray of charging waste liquid is eliminate the steam that causes of concentrated solution overheated.By the embedding of the dropping liquid of formation and diluting effect, it also contributes to remove radioactive pollution.
One purification (removing alpha-contamination) pillar (001ZE), the steam from evaporation pillar is received within the lower at pillar.Alpha-contamination it is removed by what following means ensured:
By the flushing (backflow) of steam when running through 3 pallets coming that a part for condenser slips out that the circulation that thing and steam intersects carries out, normal reflux ratio is confirmed as 20%.
The metallic sieve passing through the mixing that the porosity successively decreased by 3 layer thicknesses is formed carries out finally except mist.
One reflux condenser (001CS), it is by the cooling water circulated at tube exterior, it is ensured that carry out the condensation of the steam being cleaned of auto purification (removing pollution) pillar.
One forced circulation pump (006PO), it is a centrifugal pump of horizontal axis.Its feature is: low-head, big flow.Its use is to ensure that evaporation pillar, heater and returns to the circulation of concentrated solution between evaporation pillar;Wash away pipeloop simultaneously, concentrated solution is had certain heat effect, to avoid evaporation circuit boron crystallization.
