Computational and experimental studies into the hydrodynamic operation conditions of container filters for ion-selective treatment

Formation of radioactive waste (RW) is specific to the NPP operation. Liquid (LRW) forms in process reactor plant operation, and decontamination equipment, rooms overalls. The radionuclides found mostly vat residues are 134, 137 Cs form ions 60 Co 54 Mn isotopes chelates including substances used for equipment decontamination. Among well-known conditioning techniques, selective sorption provides greatest reduction LRW amounts. efficiency using amount filter material can be increased by supplying treated medium simultaneously several sorbent layers. paper presents computer simulation results three proposed options improved container designs ion-selective treatment differing ways both separate water flows deliver these processes was estimated SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Three grades from Eksorb were study. A series experimental studies flow through layer undertaken determine hydraulic resistance studied samples. obtained data added Solidworks Simulation engineering database earlier presented designs. Representative parameters inside filters as a result simulation.
