Abstract

965,751. Processing radio-active liquid. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. Nov. 28, 1960 [Nov. 27, 1959], No. 40336/59. Drawings to Specification. Heading G6R. [Also in Division B4] Plant for the storage of radio-active fuel elements includes a container in which fuel elements are submerged in aqueous liquid, means for adding sodium hydroxide to the liquid, and means for circulating the liquid from the container through a cation exchange material in the sodium form for removal of radio-active cations. An anion exchanger in hydroxyl form may also be provided to remove carbonate and chloride anions. Sodium carbonate may be removed in a further stage (a) by adding calcium hydroxide to the liquid before it contacts the cation exchanger in order to precipitate calcium carbonate which is removed; or (b) by treating the liquid after contact with the cation exchanger in the sodium form with a cation exchanger in the hydrogen form which removes sodium and produces carbonic acid which is decomposed by blowing air or inert gas through the liquid. The ion exchange materials may be regenerated with sodium hydroxide. Suitable plant is shown diagrammatically, means being provided for treating radioactive liquids from other sources.
