Volume reduction of radioactive wastes by an advanced wet oxidation process
- 1. Toyo Engineering Corp., Tokyo, Japan
Description
This paper presents information related to technologies for reducing volumes of nearly all kinds of poorly combustible radioactive wastes generated from nuclear facilities, especially spent ion exchange resin, active charcoal, polyvinyl chloride, and spent organic liquid such as TBP/n-dodecane. These materials cause problems with the off-gas generated when volume reduction is done by incineration. An advanced wet oxidation process developed recently by Toyo Engineering was determined to be very effective in converting these wastes to CO2 and H2O as a result of utilizing pressurized oxygen or air under the presence of a copper catalyst in water
