Description

The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) has performed testing to investigate the thermolytic production of hydrogen gas from organic species present in the Savannah River Site (SRS) Concentration, Storage, and Transfer Facilities (CSTF). SRNL designed an experimental apparatus to measure the time-dependent concentration of hydrogen in the headspace over a reacting mixture of simulated caustic waste media and organic compounds as well as a methodology to calculate a steady-state hydrogen generation rate (HGR) from this data. Special focus was given to glycolate, which is not currently present in CSTF waste but will be contained in the recycle stream from the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) under the upcoming alternate reductant flowsheet.
