Electric dialysis device

Description

The device of the present invention can regenerate liquid salt wastes generated from a nuclear power plant into acid and alkali by electrolysis. Namely, the device has anion exchange membranes disposed in a cell. The inside of the cell is divided into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber. The anode chamber has an anode disposed therein. The cathode chamber has an impurity separating vessel and an cathode disposed therein. Liquid wastes flow into the impurity separating vessel, acid contents flow out of the anode chamber, and alkaline contents flow out of the cathode chamber. The device of the present invention has following advantages. (1) Since impurity separation for the liquid wastes and electric dialysis (acid and alkali separation) can be performed simultaneously, the process is simplified. (2) The amount of wastes generated can be reduced due to precipitation separation by hydrolysis separation of the impurities themselves. (3) Removal of the impurities can be performed only by exchange/disposal of the impurity separating vessel. (4) Since the impurities can be removed by back-wash of recovered acid, no secondary wastes are formed. (I.S.)
