Ferrite treatment of actinide-waste solutions: continuous processing of Rocky Flats process waste

Creators

Description

The ferrite waste-treatment process ws investigated in the laboratory in a continuous mode to evaluate the effectiveness of this method for removing plutonium and americium from aqueous waste under a wide variety of conditions. Experiments using actual process waste samples indicated that plutonium and americium concentrations could be lowered consistently by three to four orders of magnitude in one treatment step. At the same time, the amount of solid by-product produced was approximately 80% less than that observed in recent plant operation using flocculant precipitation
