Description

Device, system and method for treating radioactive wastewater by forward osmosis
Technical Field

Background
In recent years, China speeds up the construction pace of nuclear power industry, and the treatment of nuclear waste is more and more concerned by people while nuclear power is vigorously developed. Particularly, the recent Japanese Fudao nuclear leakage accident enables people all over the world to review the development of nuclear power. Whether radioactive wastewater discharged by a nuclear power station can be timely and effectively treated becomes an important restriction factor for nuclear power development.
Because the final solidification treatment of radioactive waste is very costly, the reduction treatment of waste water is the most critical step in the whole treatment process in radioactive waste water treatment. The nuclear power plant in developed countries mainly adopts evaporation and membrane treatment methods and the combination of these processes to achieve the purpose of reduction. The reduction treatment of radioactive wastewater is mainly carried out by adopting an evaporation method in China. The evaporation process is a traditional, reliable concentration process used by most nuclear power plants. The main disadvantages of the evaporation method are high energy consumption and high operation cost, and meanwhile, because small liquid drops generated in the evaporation process enter the condensate along with water vapor, the condensate needs to be further treated, the equipment is complex, and meanwhile, the design of the evaporation process also needs to consider potential risks such as foaming, corrosion, scaling, explosion and the like.
In the application of the membrane treatment technology in radioactive wastewater reduction, a reverse osmosis method is mainly used, and a part of foreign existing power plants adopt a reverse osmosis process to treat part of radioactive wastewater. Because the reverse osmosis technology has been industrially applied for many years, the technology is relatively mature, the separation effect on nuclides in radioactive wastewater is good, and the amount of generated secondary wastewater is small, so that more application attempts are made in recent years. However, the water inlet pressure is high, so that the energy consumption is high, the requirement on equipment is high, and the pollution condition of the concentration polarization membrane is serious.
In view of the defects of the existing process, the search for a novel efficient, energy-saving and safe concentration treatment process becomes an urgent problem to be solved in radioactive wastewater treatment.
