Radionuclides and other unwanted material in a liquid may be treated, removed or reduced through the use of electromagnetic fields applied to the liquid by electrodes that also function as co-precipitators by leaching polyvalent metal ions into the liquid.

This invention is directed to amorphous and crystalline titanosilicate materials that have an unexpected selectivity for cesium and strontium, especially in the presence of high levels of competing ions. The titanosilicates of this invention show very high, unexpected selectivity in the presence of such competing cations such as sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium, such as present in seawater.

An ultrafine bubble cleaning apparatus uses a liquid containing ultrafine bubbles having a size of less than 30 nm to rinse fine particles adhered to soil, sand, etc. to separate and collect the fine particles. The ultrafine bubble cleaning apparatus includes a water tank-shaped reservoir, a stirring device, a supernatant discharge device including a pump for discharging a supernatant of the liquid in the reservoir, and a sedimentation extraction device. Substances are loaded into the ultrafine bubble-containing liquid stored in the reservoir, and the ultrafine bubble-containing liquid is repeatedly brought into contact with the surface of the substance using the stirring device. When ultrafine bubbles get into a space between fine metal particles adhered to the surfaces, cracks, and pits of the substances to be cleaned (including metal ions) and fine particles of organic substances including a solvent, a chemical, and oil, the fine particles are separated and floated.

The present invention relates to a method for granulation of an absorbent and adsorbent granules prepared by the same. The method comprises the steps of blending sodium metasilicate, metakaoline and an inorganic ion exchange material in water to form a slurry; decanting the resulted slurry onto a nylon cloth of 300 to 400 meshes and natural drying at ambient temperature to solidification; then breaking the solidified final product and sieving it by a screen having a mesh size of from 0.2 to 2.5 mm to provide the absorbent granules having excellent absorbability.

Apparatus for the on-line treatment of chemical reagents, including a flow line for a reagent flow, a vortex mixer in the flow line for combining and mixing the reagent flow with at least one further reagent flow, a pulser in the flow line for causing the pulsing of the mixed flow from the vortex mixer, and a vessel having an array of vortex cells for receiving the pulsing mixed flow to cause development and growth of precipitate under narrow residence time distribution conditions. Flow lines mix a flow of reagents to initiate precipitation. The pulser pulses the admixed reagents and causes the pulsing mixed flow to swirl with a constantly reversing rotational flow to achieve development and growth of precipitate.
摘要:
A method of separating exothermic elements of Cs and Sr from a high-level radioactive liquid waste. The method comprises a denitration step wherein formic acid is added to the high-level liquid waste so as to adjust its pH to about 5, thereby causing most of the elements other than Cs and Sr to precipitate in the high-level liquid waste to obtain a denitrated liquid waste containing Cs and Sr in high concentrations. The denitrated liquid waste is then subjected to a pH adjustment step wherein ammonia is added to the denitrated liquid waste so as to adjust its pH to about 7.5 to 9, thereby removing by precipitation the elements other than Cs and Sr remaining in the denitrated liquid waste. When the thus resulting precipitate freed of Cs and Sr is vitrified, the waste content in the vitrified waste can be increased.
摘要:
Ruthenium in aqueous solution in a first, oxidizable oxidation state (e.g. as RuNO(NO.sub.3).sub.3) is converted to an insoluble form in a second, different oxidation state (e.g. as RuO.sub.2.nH.sub.2 O) by establishing an electrochemical cell wherein the solution is the electrolyte and electrochemically oxidizing and reducing the ruthenium in the cell. The insoluble form may be filtered from the liquid. The ruthenium treatment may be a stage in the removal of radioactive species from liquids such is in the treatment of medium and low level activity liquid waste streams, wherein actinides are precipitated and filtered off either before or after ruthenium treatment. Subsequently, residual activity may be removed from the stream by either or both of (a) absorption, followed by filtration and electro-osmotic dewatering and (b) electrochemical ion exchange. Filtration fluxes may be maintained by direct electrochemical membrane cleaning.

The invention relates to a process for decontaminating and adjusting the pH of uraniferous solutions to render them compatible with the natural environment into which they may be discharged. This process is characterized in that the solutions to be treated having a natural pH from about 2.5 to about 6.5 and containing from about 1 to about 100 mg/l of uranium, are supplemented with an aluminum salt, such as sodium aluminate, in a sufficient amount for the final pH to be from about 5.5 to about 8.5 and for there to be precipitation, coagulation and adsorption of about 90% of the uranium initially contained in the solution and for the uranium content remaining in the final solution obtained to be equal to or less than about 1.8 mg/l.
