Description

A kind of radio isotope 14the separation method of C
Technical field
The invention belongs in Spent Radioactive graphite 14c processes the technical field of disposing, and is specifically related to a kind of radio isotope 14the separation method of C.
Background technology
The neutron activation reaction occurring in nuclear reactor running, comprises (n, γ) reaction, (n, p) reaction, (n, α) reaction etc., makes some nonradioactive isotopes in some structural material of reactor, cooling agent, especially graphite moderator etc., as 17o, 13c and 14n changes radionuclide into 14c. 14c is a kind of low energy beta radiator, and the half-life reaches 5730, and β decay is 14the β ray average energy discharging during N is 49.5keV, and highest energy 156keV, belongs to moderate toxicity.Due to 14the half-life of C is very long, easily in the interaction of bioprocess and soil and plant, moves, and mobility is extremely strong, with gas form ( 14cO 2) exist 14c, reaches very soon balance after being sucked, and enter the mass part of bio-tissue by lung from air. 14be about 40 years the biological half-life of C, 14the accumulation of C in human body mainly causes because taking in contaminated food.Therefore, must be in graphite 14c tightens control or effectively removes, in order to avoid environmentally safe, constitutes a threat to.
The Spent Radioactive graphite drawing off due to reactor has that quantity is huge, activity is high, the fire-hazardous feature of high potential, it processes to dispose becomes a global difficult problem, not yet find a method being entirely satisfactory, current main processing mode has three kinds in the world: the one, and take that fixed bed or fluidized bed combustion chamber, laser burns is the burning mode of representative; The 2nd, steam pyrolysis (U.S.'s patent in 2003,6625248); The 3rd, cement solidification.The second way is in the laboratory research stage, and technical difficulty is large, and process is wayward.The third mode is that problem has been left for to offspring, and increase-volume is obvious, the long-range threat of environmentally safe formation.And first kind of way has the feature remarkable, technical feasibility is good, processing cost is cheap of holding that subtracts, become preferred manner, but current dispute has been possible discharge in a large number the rear formation of burning 14cO 2gas.If can not directly discharge, must be right 14cO 2gas is processed, and processing mode has two kinds: the one, utilize Ca (OH) 2after neutralization absorbs as CaCO 3be fixed up, cause increase-volume more than 8 times; The 2nd, utilize isotope separation technique separated 12c and 14c.Therefore, the isolation technics of carbon isotope and technological level become one of key technology of Spent Radioactive graphite treatment disposal.
The mode that Tokyo technical research institute adopts microwave discharge to combine with Chemical Exchange, take dibutyl amine-octane and diethylamine-octane as isotope switching architecture, intends using 20 years, in the 1600t graphite that Japanese CalderHall type reactor decommissioning is produced 14c reclaims, unstripped gas CO sample introduction flow 284L/min, 14the initial abundance 5.1 * 10 of C -7, dilution gas after three-stage cascade is processed 14c abundance 1.2 * 10 -12, system 14c hold-up 0.014mol.Japan NGK company has developed variation fluidization, with CO 2and H 2the form of O reclaims 14c and tritium, intend carrying out the processing of East Sea I Magnox reactor barren rock China ink.Zurich, SUI ETH, between 2008-2009, adopts electron bombardment furnace to spend under pyrolytics at line drawing 1600 with atomic form 14c, will 14c mean concentration is 15 14c atom/gram sample separation be concentrated into 5.11 * 10 5individual 14c atom/gram.It is separated that Sweden Lund university has set up complete chemical process method between 2004-2010 14c sample, adopts ion exchange resin and inorganic, organic matter to carry out 14the extraction of C and washing, cause system 14the hold-up of C is larger.In a word, in order to solve 14the emission problem of C, various countries have carried out a large amount of 14c/ 12c isotope separation technique research, is at present technically captured gradually, but expense is too high, is unfavorable for engineering application.
In China, the front-end technology research of useless graphite treatment is relatively more, carbon isotope separation, especially 14the separation of C is fewer with concentrated research.Chinese Radiation Protection Research Inst has carried out the incineration treatment technology research of Spent Radioactive graphite, and center group has carried out heavy water reactor power station 14generation-release of C and control measure research, Shanghai Chemical Research Inst simulates the cryogenic rectification process of carbon isotope.But these researchs are not yet applied to barren rock China ink after burning, through engineering approaches 14c/ 12c isotopic separation.Along with the fast development of China's Nuclear Electricity and the passing of time, increasing Spent Radioactive graphite need to be processed disposal, therefore, and development new technologies and new technology, reduction radio isotope 14the separation costs of C is the active demand of useless graphite treatment disposal technology development.
