Thermal Processing of Liquid Organic Radioactive Wastes Based on Tributyl Phosphate with the Production of Sodium Aluminum Phosphate Glass

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The reprocessing of liquid organic radwastes containing tributyl phosphate in a hydrocarbon solvent is conducted under laboratory conditions. The parameters of individual stages of the process are studied – temperature effect, acid amount introduced, and contact time. The individual stages of the reprocessing are described. The characteristics of the final product are investigated – solid sodium-aluminum-phosphate glass matrix and immobilization of radionuclides.
