Radioactive Waste Incineration Technology of China Institute for Radiation Protection

Incineration technology is one of the most effective ways to treat radioactive combustible waste, with high capacity reduction ratio, stable products, strong economy and mature technology. China Institute for Radiation Protection has been conducting research on radioactive waste incineration technology since the 1970s, and has developed ZRF series pyrolysis incineration technology, ZKF series compact incineration technology and ZYF series mobile incineration technology. ZRF series pyrolysis incineration technology has the characteristics of strong adaptability to waste, energy saving, high capacity reduction coefficient, high efficiency purification, etc. It can adapt to the incineration needs of waste containing a high percentage of chlorine-containing plastics and rubber, and the technology is at the international leading level, and has obtained a number of national patents and excellent invention patents, and has been applied to many domestic and foreign units. ZKF series compact incineration technology is based on ZRF series, by improving the process, under the premise that the treatment capacity remains unchanged and the tail gas emissions meet the standards, the incineration technology with compact equipment layout, small footprint, short construction cycle, easy operation and operation, etc., has been realized in the domestic engineering applications. ZYF series mobile incineration technology is based on the development of the ZKF series, through further optimization of the process, streamlining equipment, optimizing the layout, etc., to improve the material receiving capacity, reduce the generation of secondary waste, and finally achieve the device of the vehicle mobile, the technology can be more flexible to waste treatment, construction costs, floor space, the number of operating personnel to further achieve a significant reduction. At present, the key technology research of mobile incineration has been completed and the prototype has been established, with the feasibility of engineering applications. (author)
