Description

High-concentration tritium water treatment device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of radioactive waste treatment, and particularly relates to a high-concentration tritium water treatment device.
Background
During operation of the fusion device, certain normal operation conditions such as first wall cleaning and certain abnormal working conditions such as air leakage of a combustion chamber or tritium leakage in a glove box can generate a certain amount of high-concentration tritium water. Since high concentration tritium water can generate self-radiation decomposition, explosive HT and O can be formed by decomposition in storage 2 With mixed gases, there is a risk of overpressure and tritium water is generally converted to tritium gas for storage in a safe manner. One of the commonly used methods is based on a palladium membrane reactor, tritium in tritium water is displaced by chemical reaction, tritium gas is obtained through selective separation of the palladium membrane, and the treatment of the tritium water and the tritium recovery are completed.
Two possible chemical reactions are currently disclosed based on palladium membrane reactors, one being the hydrogen isotope exchange reaction: t is 2 O+H 2 →H 2 O+T 2 . The reaction principle is that hydrogen is used for exchanging T in tritium water to obtain T 2 Or HT, using the selective separation characteristics of palladium membranes 2 Transferring to the other side of the palladium film to complete the treatment of tritium water and the recovery of tritium. The other is a water-gas shift reaction: t is 2 O+CO→CO 2 +T 2 The reaction principle is that a certain amount of CO is introduced to displace T of tritiated water, and the T is separated by utilizing the selective separation characteristic of a palladium membrane 2 Transferring to the other side of the palladium film to complete the treatment of tritium water and the recovery of tritium.
The method for treating tritium water by the hydrogen isotope exchange membrane module is limited by chemical thermodynamics, when the gas-liquid ratio is 1: 1, the maximum tritium removal factor is 11, when the gas-liquid ratio is 1: 2, the maximum tritium removal factor is 18, and a part of tritium (9.1% or 5.5%) is still not recovered. The equilibrium constant of the water-vapor transformation reaction is higher, and the maximum tritium removal factor can reach 123.5 when the gas-liquid ratio is 1: 1 based on the membrane module treatment process. However, when high-concentration tritium and CO coexist, a small amount of organic matters containing tritium aldehyde or carboxylic acid and the like can be generated, tritium is solidified by the by-products in a form of a solidified phase, and recovery of tritium is not facilitated, and experiments are not carried out by using high-concentration tritium water in the related researches of the reaction, so that beta decay of tritium is ignored, and when the concentration of tritium is higher, complex radiation reaction can be initiated by the beta decay of tritium. In addition, the catalyst used in such tritiated water treatment process is generally a conventional carrier such as diatomaceous earth, Al 2 O 3 The supported Pt catalyst has lower catalytic performance. In conclusion, the tritium removal factor of the hydrogen isotope exchange reaction is not high, complex radiation side reactions can be generated when the water-gas shift reaction is used for treating high-concentration tritium water, and the performance of the catalyst is low, so that the existing membrane reaction process is not suitable for high-efficiency treatment of the high-concentration tritium water.

Example 1
In the embodiment, the tritium water treatment device is adopted to treat tritium water, and a specific two-stage combined treatment mode is adopted, wherein the first-stage palladium membrane reactor is filled with a catalyst Pt/CeO 2 The second-stage palladium membrane reactor is mixed with and filled with catalyst Pt/Al 2 O 3 And the adsorbent Li 4 SiO 4 . The concentration C1 is 10 10 Introducing the gasified Bq/L tritiated water into the primary palladium membrane reactor at the flow V1 of 10L/h, and obtaining the tritiated water concentration C2 of 6.8 multiplied by 10 after the treatment of the primary palladium membrane reactor through the measurement of a tritiated water concentration detection branch 8 Bq/L, continuously introducing the tritium water into a secondary palladium membrane reactor for treatment, wherein the flow V2 of the residual tritium water after treatment is 0.02L/h. Through the data, the tritium removal factor of the primary palladium membrane reactor (7) is calculated to be 15, the tritium removal factor of the secondary palladium membrane reactor (18) is calculated to be 500, and the total tritium removal factor is calculated to be 7500.
This example additionally provides a control experiment in which a two-stage palladium membrane reactor was loaded with the catalyst Pt/Al 2 O 3 Absence of Li 4 SiO 4 The adsorbent and other experimental conditions were not changed. C1 is 10 10 Bq/L, V1 is 10L/h, C2 is 2.5X 10 9 Bq/L, V2 is 0.05L/h. Through the data, the tritium removal factor of the primary palladium membrane reactor (7) is calculated to be 4, the tritium removal factor of the secondary palladium membrane reactor (18) is calculated to be 200, and the total tritium removal factor is calculated to be 800.
