s1, carrying out solid-liquid separation on the radioactive slurry to obtain filtrate and filter residues.
The radioactive slurry has high-level alpha nuclide (the radioactive activity concentration of the alpha nuclide is more than or equal to E+5Bq/Kg) which is mainly distributed in the solid-phase slurry, and the solid content of the radioactive slurry (filtrate) can be reduced through solid-liquid separation, so that the radioactive slurry can be treated in a cement solidification mode and the like.
Specifically, the radioactive slurry is introduced into a filter bag (or a filter screen) in a filter container through a feed pipeline, and vacuum filtration is performed under the pushing of relative vacuum degree or pressure difference generated by vacuumizing the filter container, so that liquid in the radioactive slurry and part of solid particles with small particles are filtered from the holes of the filter bag to obtain filtrate, the filtrate flows into a filtrate receiving tank for temporary storage, and the solid particles with larger particle size in the radioactive slurry are trapped in the filter bag, namely filter residues are formed. The alpha nuclide radioactivity in the filtrate in the embodiment is less than or equal to E+5Bq/Kg.
In this embodiment, the relative vacuum degree generated by vacuumizing the filtering container in the vacuum filtering process is preferably 10-93 KPa to achieve a better filtering effect. In this embodiment, the vacuum pump is used to vacuumize the filtering container, so that the maximum relative vacuum degree is not less than 80KPa, and the relative vacuum degree required to meet the above vacuum filtering requirement can be completely provided.
In this example, the pore size of the filter bag or filter mesh during the vacuum filtration process is 10 to 500. Mu.m. More preferably, the pore size of the filter bag or filter mesh can be 10-100 μm, and can be used for filtering the slurry with lower solid phase content (the volume percent of the solid phase is not more than 20% of the volume of the slurry); alternatively, the filter bags or screens can have a pore size of 100-500 μm and can be used to filter slurries with relatively high solids content (volume percent solids exceeding 20% of the slurry volume).
Considering that the radioactive slurry in this embodiment contains a large amount of alpha nuclide with high level radioactivity, in this embodiment, a level meter is arranged in the filtering container to carry out limit measurement on the height of the introduced radioactive slurry, and a feed valve linked with the level meter is arranged on a feed pipe line, so that automatic linkage control is carried out when the level meter detects that the height of the radioactive slurry in the filtering container reaches the limit height of the filtering container, and when the level meter detects that the height of the radioactive slurry in the filtering container reaches the limit height of the filtering container, the feed valve on the radioactive slurry pipeline is closed by automatic linkage to complete feeding, so that the radioactive radiation risk existing in manual operation can be avoided.

In this embodiment, the heating temperature of the heater is preferably 90 to 110 ℃.
Of course, two modes of hot gas introduction and direct heating can be adopted simultaneously, and filter residues can be dried simultaneously.
In this embodiment, the drying process for the filter residue obtained by filtration further includes: and detecting the humidity of the gas discharged from the gas outlet of the filtering container, and judging whether the filter residue is dried or not through the humidity detection, thereby determining the end point of the drying of the filter residue. In order to ensure that the filter residues are sufficiently dried, the moisture content of the dried filter residues in the embodiment should be less than 1%, and the humidity of the corresponding gas discharged from the gas outlet of the filtering container is 1-10%, and specifically can be selected according to different material compositions.
S3, performing sealing treatment on the dry filter residues.
S4, performing cement curing treatment on the filtrate.
Specifically, in step S3, the dry filter residue is transferred to a storage container capable of containing high-level radioactive waste, for example, the dry filter residue and the filter bag can be taken out from the filter container together by a manipulator, a crane or the like, and put into a steel waste barrel capable of resisting radioactive radiation, sealed by welding or the like, and transferred to a radioactive waste disposal warehouse for storage after barrelling, so that the filter residue treatment is completed. And S4, introducing filtrate obtained by solid-liquid separation into a cement curing device, mixing with cement to form a mixture, solidifying to form a cement curing body, and finishing filtrate treatment.
In addition to the evaporation of water, it is considered that, during the drying of the filter residue, some low-boiling substances with boiling points close to or lower than that of water may be volatilized into a gaseous state due to heat, that is, the gas generated by the drying process of the filter container includes steam, gaseous low-boiling substances and gas introduced during the drying process, and these gases are collectively referred to as a gas mixture, and some low-boiling radioactive substances may be contained in the gas mixture, so that the gas mixture may be directly discharged to cause atmospheric pollution. Therefore, the processing method in this embodiment further includes:
s5, condensing the gas mixture generated by the drying treatment, and performing cement curing treatment on the condensate.
Specifically, the gas mixture containing steam generated in the drying process is introduced into a condenser for cooling and condensing, the cooling temperature of the condenser is preferably 20-25 ℃, so that steam in the gas mixture and other low-boiling-point substances with the same or similar boiling points as water are condensed into liquid, condensate obtained by condensation is introduced into a cement solidification device and mixed with cement to form a mixture, and the mixture is solidified into a cement solidified body after solidification, so that filtrate treatment is completed.

Example 3
The embodiment discloses a radioactive slurry treatment method, which adopts the treatment system of the embodiment 2 to treat radioactive slurry with higher alpha nuclide content, and comprises the following specific steps:
(1) The sealing cover of the filter container 1 is opened, the filter bag with the aperture of 500 mu m is arranged in the filter container 1 by the cooperation of a mechanical arm, a crane and other devices, and the sealing cover is reset and sealed.
(2) The feeding valve 6 is opened, the radioactive slurry in the third storage tank 5 is introduced into the filter bag in the filter container 1 at a flow rate of 20-50L/min, and when the level meter detects that the introduced radioactive slurry reaches the set limit height, the feeding valve 6 is closed in a linkage way.
(3) The bypass line 7 is opened and the feed line 4 is flushed with purge water.
(4) The vacuum pump 2 is started to pump negative pressure to the filter container 1, so that the radioactive slurry in the filter bag is filtered under the action of the negative pressure, the filtrate flows into the first storage tank 3, and the filter residues are remained in the filter bag, namely, the solid-liquid separation process.
(5) After the solid-liquid separation is completed, the vacuum pump is closed, the drying device is opened, for example, an air inlet pipeline and the first heater are opened, compressed air at 90-110 ℃ is introduced at the flow rate of 100-200L/min, and/or the second heater is opened to heat the filter container to 90-110 ℃ so that the water in the filter residue is evaporated into steam, namely, the drying process.
(6) Simultaneously, the fan 18 is turned on, and the gas mixture of steam, introduced compressed air and the like is discharged into the condenser 20 through the gas outlet pipeline 17 for cooling, so that the steam and low-boiling-point substances in the gas are condensed into liquid, and condensate is obtained, namely, the condensation process. The condensate is discharged to a second storage tank 21 for temporary storage, and the uncondensed gas is conveyed to a tail gas treatment process 13 for tail gas treatment through a fan 18. When it is detected that the humidity of the gas in the gas outlet line 17 is less than a certain value (e.g., the humidity is 5%, which can be obtained by a test according to the composition of the gas), the drying device is turned off.
(7) After the drying and condensing process is finished, the sealing cover of the filtering container 1 is opened, the filter residues and the filter bags are together transferred to a waste barrel 23 (such as a 200L steel barrel) for sealing through the cooperation of a mechanical arm or a crane and the like, and the filter residues and the filter bags are transferred to a waste disposal warehouse 24 for storage, so that the treatment of the solid radiation with high radiation level is finished.
(8) The filtrate in the first tank 3 and the condensate in the second tank 21 are fed to the cement curing device 10, and mixed with cement or the like to form a cement cured body, whereby the filtrate and condensate treatment at a low radioactivity level is completed.
It is to be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention, but not in limitation thereof. Various modifications and improvements may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and substance of the invention, and are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
