Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of treating water contaminated by a radioactive substance, which can also be applied to treatment of waste water.SOLUTION: A method of treating water contaminated by a radioactive substance comprises an electrolysis process in which water contaminated by a radioactive substance is electrolyzed and converted and a separation process in which the converted radioactive substance after the electrolysis is removed. Because it comprises the electrolysis process in which water contaminated by the radioactive substance is electrolyzed and converted, it is capable of converting radioactive cesium (Cs) and radioactive iodine (I) into forms of such compounds as radioactive hypoiodous acid (HOI), radioactive cesium hypoiodite (CsOI), and radioactive cesium iodide (CsI).

Description

この発明は、放射性セシウムや放射性ヨウ素などの放射性物質を電気分解で処理する放射性物質汚染水の処理方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for treating radioactive material-contaminated water in which radioactive materials such as radioactive cesium and radioactive iodine are treated by electrolysis.

地震による津波の発生が引き起こした原発事故で、放射能汚染水の処理が大きな社会問題となっている。
従来、原子力施設で発生する放射性廃液の処理方法に関する提案があった(特許文献1)。
すなわち、核燃料再処理施設では再処理工程で硝酸(HNO3)を用い、用済み後は水酸化ナトリウム(NaOH)で中和処理するため、硝酸ナトリウム(NaNO3)廃液が発生する。
この提案によれば、放射性物質及びナトリウム化合物を含む放射性廃液を乾燥して乾燥体とした後、該乾燥体を加熱により溶融塩としてこれを陽極液とし、ナトリウムイオン導電性のβ−アルミナを隔膜として電気分解することにより、放射性物質及びナトリウム化合物を含む放射性廃液中から、高純度(固体)で極低放射性レベルの金属ナトリウム又は水酸化ナトリウムを高電気効率で回収できる。また、陽極側の酸性根はガスとして発生するため、必要に応じ中和、分解処理し、非放射性物質として施設外に廃棄あるいは保管することができる。更に本発明によれば、従来のイオン交換膜を用いた電気透析による処理法に比べコンパクトな設備で処理が可能である、というものである。
しかし、この技術は排水の処理には適用し難いという問題があった。

In the nuclear accident caused by the tsunami caused by the earthquake, the treatment of radioactively contaminated water has become a major social problem.
Conventionally, there has been a proposal regarding a method for treating radioactive liquid waste generated in a nuclear facility (Patent Document 1).
That is, in the nuclear fuel reprocessing facility, nitric acid (HNO 3 ) is used in the reprocessing step and neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) after use, so that a sodium nitrate (NaNO 3 ) waste liquid is generated.
According to this proposal, a radioactive waste liquid containing a radioactive substance and a sodium compound is dried to obtain a dried body, and then the dried body is heated to form a molten salt, which is used as an anolyte, and sodium ion conductive β-alumina is used as a diaphragm. As a result, it is possible to recover metal sodium or sodium hydroxide having high purity (solid) and extremely low radioactive level from a radioactive liquid waste containing radioactive substances and sodium compounds with high electrical efficiency. Further, since the acidic root on the anode side is generated as a gas, it can be neutralized and decomposed as necessary, and discarded or stored outside the facility as a non-radioactive substance. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the treatment can be performed with a compact facility as compared with the treatment method by electrodialysis using a conventional ion exchange membrane.
However, this technique has a problem that it is difficult to apply to wastewater treatment.

Or can be removed from the liquid phase by hooking on the RO membrane.

また、放射性物質汚染水の電気分解により、放射性セシウム(Cs)や放射性ヨウ素(I)が電気分解の際の電磁波の影響を受け、複数の陽子と複数の中性子の集合体であって、陽子同士の電気的反発により大きな歪みを孕んだ原子核が安定化し、放射能が低減し放射性が低下する。   In addition, radioactive cesium (Cs) and radioactive iodine (I) are affected by electromagnetic waves during electrolysis due to electrolysis of radioactive material contaminated water, and are an assembly of a plurality of protons and a plurality of neutrons. Due to the electrical repulsion of the nuclei, the nuclei with large strain are stabilized, the radioactivity is reduced, and the radioactivity is lowered.
