Experimental study of blown-abrasive decontamination of the inner surfaces of pipelines for a pulsed pneumatic conveyor model

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

A method of decontaminating the inner surface of pulsed pneumatic conveyer lines by removing contaminated metal by blowing an abrasive (liquid-free decontamination) is examined. The results of a study of the removal of a surface layer of metal as a function of the abrasive materials used are presented. These investigations were performed on a 1:7 scale pulsed pneumatic conveyer model.
