Potential applications of the TRUEX process at the Hanford site
Description
The TRUEX process is a newly-developed liquid-liquid solvent extraction process for removal of all +3, +4, and +6 actinide ions from HNO/sub 3/ waste solutions. Bench-scale batch and countercurrent tests with synthetic wastes coupled with results of engineering studies and evaluations demonstrate that the TRUEX process is well-suited for conversion of certain Hanford Site aqueous TRU (≥3.7 x 10/sup 6/ Bq kg/sub -1/) to non-TRU wastes for possible inexpensive grouting and near-surface disposal. Reference TRUEX process chemical flowsheets and chemistry as well as current plans and schedules for plant-scale deployment are presented
