2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in a power generation facility, desalination treatment, water purification treatment, and the like are required for various types of hot water and normal-temperature water. For example, nuclear reactors used for nuclear power generation include a boiling water type (BWP) and a pressurized water type (PWR). The former is a type in which cooling water is heated in a nuclear reactor and converted into steam and supplied directly to the turbine, and the latter is a type in which primary cooling water is heated in a nuclear reactor and supplied to a steam generator to generate steam. In this method, the secondary cooling water is heated by a steam generator, converted into steam, and supplied to the turbine. In any of the above-described reactors, a cooling water circulation system is provided with a reactor water condensate desalination device filled with an ion-exchange resin to remove radioactive substances in the reactor water and improve water purity. I have. In addition, in addition to the above, in the boric acid removal desalination tower, the boric acid recovery device, the spent fuel pool water purification device, the condensate desalination device, etc., the ion exchange resin treatment is performed at the time of hot water and at the time of increasing the water temperature. . Furthermore, condensate demineralization equipment is also installed in large once-through type boilers for thermal power generation.

[0003]

The heat resistance of the conventional ion exchange resins is generally 120 ° C. for the H-type cation exchange resin and 60 ° C. for the OH-type anion exchange resin. In a desalination apparatus or the like in which an exchange resin is combined, when hot water of 60 ° C. or more is passed for a short time and for a long period, the ion exchange resin deteriorates in performance, and the desalination performance decreases. For this reason, in the treatment of various types of hot water or the like in the power generation facility, it is necessary to cool hot water of 60 ° C. or higher to a temperature lower than 60 ° C. (usually 50 ° C. or lower). The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a heat generating apparatus capable of significantly reducing heat loss and significantly suppressing performance deterioration due to heat shock as compared with a conventional anion exchange resin. An object of the present invention is to provide a crosslinked anion exchanger for water treatment.

Then, the strong anion exchange resin, -C _n H _2n haloalkyl group (wherein represented by -X, X is chlorine or bromine atom, n represents 1

In the above publication, heat resistance is not considered a problem, but sufficient heat resistance cannot be expected with the strong anion exchange resin as described above.

In the crosslinked anion exchanger used in the present invention, it is necessary that 90% or more of all the anion exchange groups are quaternary ammonium groups represented by the above chemical formula [1]. In this respect, the crosslinked anion exchanger used in the present invention is different from known anion exchange resins and has excellent heat resistance.

The unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer is an essential component for obtaining an anion exchanger as crosslink polymerization. Therefore, the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer will be described in the following production method.

Examples of the base monomer of the precursor monomer represented by the above chemical formula [Chemical Formula 3] include aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene, ethylvinylbenzene, vinyltoluene and vinylnaphthalene, and styrene is particularly preferred.

The above-mentioned precursor monomer is usually, for example,
"Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition, 20, 1982,
Page 3015 ".

For example, it can be obtained by reacting a chloromethylated parent monomer (for example, chloromethylstyrene) with a polyalkylene dihalide by applying the Grignard method. The term "polyalkylene dihalide" as used herein generally includes those having an alkylene group having 2 to 17 carbon atoms, and particularly those having an alkylene group having 2 to 9 carbon atoms are preferably used. When using a polyalkylene dihalide having a carbon number less than the above range, the heat resistance of the obtained cross-linked anion exchanger is not sufficient, and also when using a polyalkylene dihalide having a carbon number higher than the above range. Is not practical from an industrial viewpoint because the exchange capacity per unit weight of the obtained crosslinked anion exchanger is small.

In addition to the above, the precursor monomer can also be obtained by reacting the chlorinated parent monomer (chlorostyrene) with a polyalkylene dihalide by applying the Grignard method. In this case, the polyalkylene dihalide has an alkylene group having 3 carbon atoms.

The crosslinked anion exchanger in the present invention obtains a crosslinked copolymer using the above-mentioned raw material monomers, and then introduces an ammonium group into the site of the structural unit "-RZ" of the precursor monomer. It is manufactured by
The cross-linked copolymer is produced according to a known method,
Usually, it is produced as a spherical crosslinked copolymer. That is, in the presence of a polymerization initiator, suspension polymerization of the precursor monomer represented by the chemical formula [Formula 3], the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer, and the addition-polymerizable monomer used as needed, A spherical crosslinked copolymer is produced.

[0024] The proportion of the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer used has an important effect on the insolubilization of the obtained anion exchanger. Usually, when the use ratio of the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer is low, the anion exchanger cannot be insolubilized, and conversely, when the use ratio is high, the ratio of the ion exchange component of the anion exchanger becomes low. It has no practical meaning. Therefore, in the above suspension polymerization, the proportion of the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer used is usually from 0.1 to 55% by weight based on the total amount of the raw material monomers.
, Preferably in the range of 0.5 to 25% by weight. The usage ratio of the precursor monomer is usually in the range of 20 to 100% by weight based on the total amount of the raw material monomers, and the usage ratio of the addition-polymerizable monomer is generally 0 to 50% by weight, preferably, based on the total amount of the raw material monomers. It is in the range of 0 to 20% by weight.

Usually, 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the total amount of the starting monomers. Used in range. The polymerization temperature varies depending on the type and concentration of the polymerization initiator, but is usually appropriately selected from the range of 40 to 100 ° C.

As a method for introducing an ammonium group into the crosslinked copolymer, a known method can be used. For example, a crosslinked copolymer is suspended in a solvent, and NR ₁ R ₂ R ₃ (where R is
_{1 to} R ₃ are the same as defined in the chemical formula [Formula 1].
A method of reacting a substituted amine represented by the following formula: Examples of the solvent used in the introduction reaction include water, alcohol, toluene, dioxane, dimethylformamide and the like, and these are used alone or as a mixed solvent. The reaction temperature varies greatly depending on the type of the substituted amine and the type of the solvent.
The temperature is appropriately selected from the range of -100 ° C.

The crosslinked anion exchanger used in the present invention is
After introducing an ammonium group into the cross-linked copolymer, its salt form is converted into various anionic forms, such conversion is:
It can be easily achieved by known methods. In particular, as the crosslinked anion exchanger, a structural unit having a quaternary ammonium group represented by the above chemical formula [Chemical Formula 1] may be used in an amount of 20 to 9;
9.5% by weight, 0.1 to 55% by weight of a structural unit derived from an unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing crosslinkable monomer, and 0 to 2% of a structural unit derived from another addition polymerizable monomer.
Those containing 5% by weight are preferred.

The cross-linked anion exchanger used in the present invention may be prepared by adding X in the above-mentioned chemical formula [Chemical Formula 1] to a hydroxide ion in a 0.1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 100 ° C. and 60 ° C. It is particularly preferable that the resin satisfy the condition that the residual capacity of the exchange capacity is 90% or more and the volume retention is 90% or more when heated for a period of time.

The shape of the crosslinked anion exchanger is not particularly limited. In addition to the above-mentioned beads, the crosslinked anion exchanger may be provided with porosity by a known method, and may be in the form of a fiber, powder, plate, or film. Various shapes can be changed.

The crosslinked anion exchanger for hot water treatment in the power generation facility of the present invention can be applied to various kinds of hot water treatment in the power generation facility. As a desalting method, any known method may be used. Usually, a mixed bed tower is formed together with a cation exchange resin for use. The crosslinked anion exchanger used in the present invention has excellent heat-resistant water and is stable for a long period of time even at a high temperature of about 100 ° C., for example, as is apparent from the following examples. Therefore, in the reactor water desalination apparatus using the crosslinked anion exchanger for hydrothermal treatment in the power generation equipment of the present invention, the temperature of the water to be treated is set to 100%.
It is sufficient to cool to about 120 ° C. as a result,
As compared with conventional anion exchange resins, unnecessary heat loss can be greatly reduced, and the size and load of cooling equipment can be reduced, which is extremely economically advantageous.

The results of a trial calculation of the heat loss between a conventional anion exchange resin and the crosslinked anion exchanger of the present invention using a nuclear reactor (BWR) reactor water desalination apparatus as an example are as follows. It is. When a conventional anion exchange resin is used, the reactor water at about 280 ° C. is cooled down to about 50 ° C. by a regenerative heat exchanger and a non-regenerative heat exchanger due to the heat resistance of the resin. After being purified by a furnace desalination unit, the temperature is raised to about 220 ° C. in a regenerative heat exchanger and returned to the nuclear reactor. The heat loss in this case is about 6.2 × 10 ⁴ kcal / reactor water m ³ , mainly generated in the non-regenerative heat exchanger, and about 10.6 × 10 ⁶ kcal (1000 kW / hr) in the 1000 MW class unit. .1 MW). On the other hand, when the cross-linking anion exchanger of the present invention is used and the water passing temperature of the reactor water desalination apparatus is set to 100 ° C., the heat loss is halved, and the nuclear fuel consumption can be reduced by about 0.2%. , 1
A 000 MW class unit corresponds to a power generation capacity of about 1.7 MW per hour.

Regarding the heat shock, when the nuclear reactor is emergency shut down (scram) due to an accident or the like, steam generated after the shutdown is guided to the condenser and cooled. In this case, since the condensate passes through the permissible temperature (60 ° C.) of the condensate desalination apparatus temporarily or for a long time, the performance of the condensate desalination apparatus deteriorates due to thermal deterioration of the ion exchange resin. May occur, and it may be necessary to exchange the entire amount of the ion exchange resin. In contrast,
When using the crosslinked anion exchanger in the present invention,
The situation described above can be sufficiently dealt with.
