Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the volume of secondary waste and to allow the long-term storage thereof in an nuclear power plant by recovering the volatile acid or alkali used for degeneration of ion exchange resins. CONSTITUTION:The waste water in a packed column 1 is cleaned by opening valves 6, 8 and closing valves 7, 9. Nitric acid is then injected from an acid tank 2 into the column 1 to regenerate the cation exchange resin by closing the valves 6, 8 and opening the valves 7, 9. Oxalic acid is thereafter sent to a distillation concentrating device 3 where the oxalic acid is heated. The heated acid flows in the form of a vapor pressure to a condenser 4 where the oxalic acid is condensed to an oxalic acid soln. The soln. is returned to the tank 2 and is reutilized. The residues are stored through a valve 10 into a storage tank 5. The similar treatment is executed by using ammonia as the volatile alkali in the case of the anion exchange resin. The volume of the radioactive waste by the regeneration is drastically decreased in this way and the storage of the waste during the operation of the nuclear power plant (>=30 years) is possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a system for significantly reducing the amount of secondary waste generated by regeneration in a desalination system of a nuclear power plant.

Ion exchange resins are used to purify condensate and wastewater from nuclear power plants because of their high removal performance. However, when using an ion exchange resin, it is necessary to regenerate it using an acid or an alkali.

Regeneration requires a large amount of acid or alkali compared to impurities such as condensate and wastewater adsorbed on the ion exchange resin. Currently, sulfuric acid is used as the acid and sodium hydroxide is used as the alkali, so sodium sulfate is produced in the recycled waste liquid. The amount is more than 100 times that of impurities adsorbed on the ion exchange resin.

There is a method of pelletizing and solidifying it.

The above-mentioned conventional technology has a problem in that it is not possible to significantly reduce the amount of secondary waste because it does not consider recovering or removing acids and alkalis used for regeneration. Therefore, it cannot be stored inside a nuclear power plant and is disposed of on land as radioactive waste.

An object of the present invention is to enable significant volume reduction by recovering acids and alkalis, and to enable storage management of radioactive waste within nuclear power plants. The lifespan of a nuclear power plant is over 30 years, and during the period of storage and management, 80 CO (half-life 5 years) is contained in the waste.
There is a radioactive decay of radioactive substances such as Mn (300d). This reduces radioactivity in the waste, making handling easier.
