Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously recover residual UF6 and simultaneously carry out hydrolysis treatment, by dividing a hydrolysis column with a perforated plate into two sections, filling ice in the upper section and providing the lower section with a nozzle to suck the residual UF6. CONSTITUTION:A hydrolysis column 8 is maintained in a negative pressure state, a valve 5 is closed and a valve 2 is opened to suck and recover residual UF6 from a UF6 cylinder. UF6 gas P sucked into the hydrolysis column 8 through a suction nozzle 10 is passed through a perforated plate 12 and hydrolyzed into an aqueous solution of UO2F2 and HF gas 9b by reacting with ice in an ice-packed layer 13. The aqueous solution of UO2F2 9a produced by hydrolysis is passed through the perforated plate 12, collected in the lower part of the hydrolysis column 8 and dropped into a reservoir tan 11 via a valve 3. The HF gas 9b generated by hydrolysis is sucked with a vacuum pump 7 and recovered by an alkali scrubber 16. The residual gas is discharged to an exhaustion apparatus 18. The residual UF6 in the cylinder can be continuously sucked and recovered by this process without repeating heating and cooling processes.
