방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 제거하는 방법{Method For Removing Cobalt and Cesium From Radioactive Wastewater}Method for removing cobalt and cesium from radioactive wastewater

본원발명은 방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 제거하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for removing cobalt and cesium from radioactive waste fluid.

방사성 토양은 토양세척법(soil washing), 동전기 수세법(electrokinetic flushing), 산 침출법(acid leaching) 등을 제염기술에 의해 제염되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 상기의 방사성 토양의 제염에 따라 방사성 폐액이 발생하게 되는데, 상기 방사성 폐액에는 여러 종류의 금속이온과 함께 방사능 핵종인 Co-60 및 Cs-137이 함유되어 있다. 따라서, 방사성토양을 제염하여 자체처분 가능한 수준으로 방사능을 저감하기 위해서는, 상기 방사성 폐액의 안정적인 처리 또한 고려되어야 한다.Radioactive soil is known to be decontaminated by decontamination techniques such as soil washing, electrokinetic flushing, acid leaching, and the like. Radioactive wastewater is generated according to the decontamination of the radioactive soil. The radioactive wastewater contains radionuclides Co-60 and Cs-137 together with various kinds of metal ions. Therefore, in order to reduce radioactivity to a level capable of self-disposal by decontaminating radioactive soils, stable treatment of the radioactive waste liquid should also be considered.

현재까지 개발 적용된 방사성 폐액의 처리기술에는 증발, 침전, 이온교환, 막여과 등이 있는데 폐액 내 함유되어 있는 핵종의 화학적 특성을 이해하고 적절한 처리방법을 선택할 필요가 있다. 특히, 방사성 폐액 내에 존재하는 Co2+의 경우, pH 9 이상의 조건에서 수산화물의 형태로 침전하기 때문에, 단순한 pH 조절만으로 침전제거가 가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 침전 제거만으로 방사성 폐액 내에 함유되어 있는 Cs+를 제거하는 것은 불가능하다는 문제점이 있다.The techniques for the treatment of radioactive waste liquids developed so far include evaporation, sedimentation, ion exchange, and membrane filtration. It is necessary to understand the chemical properties of the nuclides contained in the waste liquid and to select appropriate treatment methods. In particular, Co 2+ present in the radioactive waste solution is known to be precipitated and removed by simple pH adjustment because it precipitates in the form of a hydroxide at a pH of 9 or more. However, there is a problem that it is impossible to remove Cs + contained in the radioactive waste liquid only by sediment removal.

상기 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본원발명은, Co2+의 알칼리 침전처리와 Cs+의 이온교환에 의한 흡착제거의 원리를 이용하여, 방사성 폐액으로부터 핵종성분인 코발트 및 세슘을 하나의 공정에 의해 제거하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention for solving the above problems is to remove the cobalt and cesium, which is a nuclide component from the radioactive waste liquid by one process, using the principle of adsorption removal by alkali precipitation of Co 2+ and ion exchange of Cs + . The purpose.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본원발명은 방사성 폐액 내의 Co2+농도가 25 ~ 100 mg/L이 되도록, 방사성 폐액에 비방사성 코발트 염을 첨가하고 급속교반하는 단계, 상기 비방사성 코발트 염이 첨가된 방사성 폐액에 포타슘페로시아나이드(potassium ferrocyanide, K4Fe(CN)6)를 첨가하고 급속교반하는 단계, 상기 포타슘페로시아나이드가 첨가된 방사성 폐액의 산도가 pH 8.5 ~ 10.5 이 되도록, 알칼리 용액을 첨가한 후 순차적으로 급속교반, 완속교반 및 정치하는 단계를 포함하는 방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 제거하는 방법을 제공한다.The present invention for achieving the above object is the step of adding a non-radioactive cobalt salt to the radioactive waste solution and rapidly stirring so that the Co 2 + concentration in the radioactive waste solution is 25 to 100 mg / L, the radioactive cobalt salt added radioactive Potassium ferrocyanide (K 4 Fe (CN) 6 ) is added to the waste liquid and rapidly agitated. An alkaline solution is added so that the acidity of the radioactive waste liquid to which the potassium ferrocyanide is added is pH 8.5 to 10.5. After that, the present invention provides a method for removing cobalt and cesium from a radioactive waste solution, which comprises the steps of rapid stirring, slow stirring, and standing.

본원발명에 의하면, 하나의 공정에 의해 방사성 폐액으로부터 핵종성분인 코발트 및 세슘을 동시에 제거할 수 있다.According to the present invention, cobalt and cesium, which are nuclide components, can be simultaneously removed from the radioactive waste liquid by one process.

또한, 본원발명에 의하면 방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 높은 효율 로 제거할 수 있다.In addition, according to the present invention, cobalt and cesium can be removed from the radioactive waste liquid with high efficiency.

본원발명은 방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 제거하는 방법에 관한 것으로서, 방사성 폐액 내의 Co2+ 농도가 25 ~ 100 mg/L이 되도록 방사성 폐액에 비방사성(non-radioactive) 코발트 염을 첨가하고 급속교반하는 단계, 상기 비방사성 코발트 염이 첨가된 방사성 폐액에 포타슘페로시아나이드(potassium ferrocyanide)를 첨가하고 급속교반하는 단계, 상기 포타슘페로시아나이드가 첨가된 방사성 폐액의 산도가 pH 8.5 ~ 10.5 이 되도록, 알칼리 용액을 첨가한 후 순차적으로 급속교반, 완속교반 및 정치하는 단계를 포함한다. The present invention relates to a method for removing cobalt and cesium from a radioactive waste liquid, wherein a non-radioactive cobalt salt is added to the radioactive waste liquid and rapidly stirred so that the Co 2+ concentration in the radioactive waste liquid is 25 to 100 mg / L. Step, adding a potassium ferrocyanide (potassium ferrocyanide) to the radioactive waste solution to which the non-radioactive cobalt salt is added and rapidly stirring, so that the acidity of the radioactive waste solution to which the potassium ferrocyanide is added is pH 8.5 ~ 10.5, After the addition of the alkaline solution, it comprises the steps of rapid stirring, slow stirring and standing.

상기 방법은 Co2+의 알칼리 침전처리와 Cs+의 이온교환에 의한 흡착제거의 원리를 이용하여 코발트 및 세슘을 동시에 공침하여 발생한 침전(K2Cs2Fe(CN)6, Co(OH)2)을 제거함으로써, 방사성 폐액으로부터 핵종성분인 코발트 및 세슘을 하나의 공정에 의해 제거하는 것이다. 이러한 내용을 화학 반응식으로 나타내면 다음과 같다.The method is based on the principle of alkali precipitation of Co 2+ and adsorption removal by ion exchange of Cs +. The precipitation produced by co-precipitation of cobalt and cesium simultaneously (K 2 Cs 2 Fe (CN) 6 , Co (OH) 2 ) By eliminating, the radionuclide cobalt and cesium from the radioactive waste liquid are removed by one process. This content is represented by the chemical reaction equation as follows.

(1) 제 1 반응식 : K2CoFe(CN)6 생성(1) Scheme 1: Formation of K 2 CoFe (CN) 6

Co2+ + K4Fe(CN)6 → 2K+ + K2CoFe(CN)6Co 2+ + K 4 Fe (CN) 6 → 2K + + K 2 CoFe (CN) 6

(2) 제 2 반응식 : 이온교환에 의한 Cs+ 제거 (2) Second Reaction Scheme: Cs + Removal by Ion Exchange

K2CoFe(CN)6↓ + 2Cs+ → K2Cs2Fe(CN)6↓ + Co2+ K 2 CoFe (CN) 6 ↓ + 2Cs + → K 2 Cs 2 Fe (CN) 6 ↓ + Co 2+

(3) 제 3 반응식 : Co2+ 알칼리 침전처리(3) Third Reaction Scheme: Co 2+ Alkali Precipitation Treatment

Co2+ + 2NaOH → 2Na+ + Co(OH)2Co 2+ + 2NaOH → 2Na + + Co (OH) 2

상기 비방사성 코발트 염은 CoCl2, Co(NO3)2 를 비롯한 다양한 형태의 비방사성 코발트 염이 사용될 수 있다. 실제로 방사성 폐액 내에 잔존하는 Co2+의 농도가 매우 낮기 때문에, 비방사성 코발트 염을 첨가하여 방사성 폐액 내의 Co2+의 농도를 일정한 정도로 유지해야 한다. 왜냐하면, 제 1 반응식의 방사성 폐액 내의 Co2+의 농도가 최소 25 mg/L로 존재해야만 상기의 제 2 반응식 및 제 3 반응식의 정반응이 순차적으로 일어날 수 있는 K2CoFe(CN)6가 형성되기 때문이다. The non-radioactive cobalt salt may be used in various forms of non-radioactive cobalt salt including CoCl 2 , Co (NO 3 ) 2 . In fact, since the concentration of Co 2+ remaining in the radioactive waste liquid is very low, a non-radioactive cobalt salt should be added to maintain the concentration of Co 2+ in the radioactive waste liquid to a certain degree. This is because when the concentration of Co 2+ in the radioactive waste solution of the first reaction scheme is present at least 25 mg / L, K 2 CoFe (CN) 6 is formed in which the forward reaction of the second and third reaction schemes can occur sequentially. Because.

도 1의 그래프는, 첨가되는 포타슘페로시아나이드(K4Fe(CN)6)의 양(mg)이 증가할수록 방사성 폐액 내에 잔존하는 Cs+ 농도가 감소하며, Cs 제거율(Removal efficiency)이 상승한다는 것을 보여준다. 또한, 도 2의 그래프는 방사성 폐액내의 Co2+ 농도가 최소 25 mg/L일 때부터 방사성 폐액으로부터 Cs 제거율(Removal efficiency)이 상승한다는 것을 보여준다.The graph of FIG. 1 shows that as the amount (mg) of potassium ferrocyanide (K 4 Fe (CN) 6 ) added increases, the Cs + concentration remaining in the radioactive waste solution decreases, and the Cs removal efficiency increases. Shows that In addition, the graph of FIG. 2 shows that the Cs Removal efficiency from the radioactive waste liquid rises when the Co 2+ concentration in the radioactive waste liquid is at least 25 mg / L.

상기 알칼리 용액은 NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2를 비롯한 다양한 알칼리 용액이 사용될 수 있다.As the alkaline solution, various alkali solutions including NaOH, KOH, Ca (OH) 2 may be used.

상기 포타슘페로시아나이드가 첨가된 방사성 폐액 내의 포타슘페로시아나이드의 농도는 5 ~ 500 mg/L인 것이 바람직하다.The concentration of potassium ferrocyanide in the radioactive waste solution to which potassium ferrocyanide is added is preferably 5 to 500 mg / L.

상기 정치는 10 ~ 120 분 동안 방치하는 것이 바람직하다.The stationary is preferably left for 10 to 120 minutes.

이하에서, 본원발명의 바람직한 실시예, 비교예를 참조하여 상세히 설명한다. 아래의 실시예, 비교예는 본원발명의 내용을 이해하기 위해 제시된 것일 뿐이며 당해 분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 본원발명의 기술적 사상 내에서 많은 변형이 가능할 것이다. 따라서 본원발명의 권리범위가 이러한 실시예, 비교예에 한정되는 것으로 해석되어서는 안 된다.Hereinafter, with reference to the preferred examples, comparative examples of the present invention will be described in detail.

이하에서는, 도 3을 참조하여 본원발명에 따라 방사성 폐액으로부터 코발트 및 세슘을 제거하는 방법을 구체적으로 설명하고자 한다.Hereinafter, a method of removing cobalt and cesium from the radioactive waste solution according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

먼저, 방사성 토양의 제염에 따라 발생된 방사성 폐액을 폐액 교반조에 흘려넣은 후, 상기 방사성 폐액 내의 Co2+ 농도가 25 mg/L이 되도록 비방사성 코발트 염(CoCl2 용액)을 첨가하고 150 rpm에서 5분 동안 급속교반 하였다.First, the radioactive waste liquid generated by the decontamination of the radioactive soil is poured into a waste agitating tank, and then a non-radioactive cobalt salt (CoCl 2 solution) is added so that the Co 2+ concentration in the radioactive waste liquid is 25 mg / L, and at 150 rpm.

Potassium ferrocyanide (K 4 Fe (CN) 6 ) was added to the radioactive waste solution to which the non-radioactive cobalt salt was added, followed by rapid stirring at 150 rpm for 5 minutes. In this case, the concentration of potassium ferrocyanide (K 4 Fe (CN) 6 ) in the radioactive waste solution to which potassium ferrocyanide (K 4 Fe (CN) 6 ) was added was 160 mg / L.

If the radioactive waste liquid is allowed to stand for 30 minutes in the waste liquid sedimentation tank, it is divided into sediment sludge and supernatant. The supernatant was filtered and the remaining precipitate sludge was treated by dehydration and drying. The results of measuring radioactivity of the filtered supernatant using a multi-channel analyzer (MCA) are shown in FIG. 4.
