Description

Dewatering and drying the radioactive spent resins generated from nuclear power plants are studied in laboratory. A simple way is filtering and heat drying the resins in vacuum. The important parameters of the process are determined. After filtering under vacuum the percentage of water in cation is about 53 ∼ 57%. By means of heat-drying in vacuum the water content of cation resin, anion resin and mixed bed resin can be further decreased to 46 ∼ 48%, 30% and 40%, respectively. The resins treated have good mobility. The operation time is about six hours
