Description

Two methods using calcium nitrate are reported which effectively suppress fluoride and chloride volatility during calcination of first-cycle zirconium waste with minimum production of solids in calciner feed. Fluoride and chloride volatility suppression was accomplished by either increasing the aluminum concentration of the zirconium waste or blending the zirconium waste with sodium-bearing waste prior to calcium nitrate addition. Both methods were successfully tested in 10-cm diameter, fluidized-bed, pilot-plant calciner runs
