Volatilization characteristics of cesium according to the waste melting method in a plasma torch melter
- 1. KNETEC, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
By using a batch type plasma torch melting system, melting tests of non-combustible waste were conducted. The relationship between the volatility of cesium and torch power was evaluated. The surrogates used in the tests were natural soil with 0.5 g of non-radioactive cesium (CsCl) per 1 kg of soil. The moisture content of soil was 9.5 wt%. No significant difference in retention ratio (86 ∼ 90 wt%) of cesium in molten slag was founded according to the torch power. The faster melting with high power, the more retentions of cesium into the slag was obtained. Reaching test (TCLP) results for all waste forms were low enough to meet the EPA criteria
