Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently and economically treat the radioactive waste water contg. an actinide element by packing an immobilization tannin-based adsorbent in a fixed-bed column, and specifying the amt. of radioactive waste water to be passed through the bed per unit volume of the adsorbent per hour. CONSTITUTION:In the treatment of the radioactive waste water contg. an actinide element, the immobilization tannin-based adsorbent consisting of inexpensive immobilization persimmon tannin is packed in the fixed-bed column, and the amt. of the radioactive waste water to be passed through the bed per unit volume of the adsorbent per hour (SV value) is controlled to 30-300hr<-1>. The actinide element adsorbed on the immobilization tannin-based adsorbent is dissolved in 0.01-0.5 N nitric acid or sulfuric acid and desorbed, and the immobilization tannin-based adsorbent is repeatedly used. The actinide element can be sufficiently removed at 6.2-10.5pH by this method. As a result, the radioactive waste water contg. an actinide element can be efficiently and economically treated at high capacity by the device.

In the method of the present invention, actinide elements in wastewater can be sufficiently adsorbed and removed even at an Sv value that is approximately 10 times higher than that of conventional ion exchange resin adsorption methods and chelate resin adsorption methods. In the method of the present invention, the Sv value is 300 h.
-', as shown in Figure 1, the removal rate of actinide elements begins to decrease, and if the Sv value is less than 30h, although sufficient removal is possible, the wastewater treatment efficiency decreases, so it is unsuitable. . That is, in the method of the present invention, the Sv value needs to be in the range of 30 to 300 h from an industrial perspective.
Preferably it is in the range of 50 to 200 hours. In addition, in the method of the present invention, the regeneration of the immobilized tandino-based adsorbent is 0.
Adsorbed actinide elements can be easily desorbed with dilute mineral acids (dilute nitric acid, dilute C acid) of 0.01 to 0.5N. Second
As shown in the figure, almost no decrease in adsorption capacity was observed even after the adsorbent was used 10 times. in this case,
If the ore value is less than 0.01N, the actinide elements will not be removed sufficiently, and if the ore value is more than 0.5N, the precious metal will be wasted, which is not a good idea. Therefore.

In addition, according to the method of the present invention, even in wastewater with a pH of 8 or more and wastewater containing a relatively large amount of coexisting salts, where it is difficult to adsorb and remove actinide elements using conventional methods,
Actinide elements can be adsorbed and removed by light. For example, process waste liquid from nuclear fuel 7Jn construction facilities is generally alkaline with a pH of 8 or more, but in the method of the present invention, actinide elements can be sufficiently adsorbed and removed within the range of % pH 6.2 to 1005, as shown in FIG.
