Release of Organic Reagents from Solidified Decontamination Wastes
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to provide technical information needed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to evaluate the adequacy of near-surface disposal of decontamination wastes, Brookhaven National Laboratory has measured the release of organic reagents from solidified simulated decontamination wastes. The waste streams consisted of either mixed-bed ion-exchange resins or anion exchange resins equilibrated with EDTA, oxalic acid, citric acid, picolinic acid or simulated LOMI decontamination reagent. These simulated resin wastes were solidified in either cement or vinyl ester-styrene. Samples were tested by a fixed interval leach procedure or according to the standard ANS 16.1 procedure. The teachability indices, which were calculated as prescribed in ANS 16.1, varied with leach period for some of the composites tested.

Characterization of chars produced in the co-pyrolysis of different wastes: decontamination study.
The present work is devoted to the study of the decontamination of chars obtained in the co-pyrolysis of plastics, biomass and tyre wastes. The chars were extracted with several organic solvents of different polarities either individually or in sequence. The ability of each selected extractant to remove toxic pollutants was evaluated by comparing the extraction yields and by characterizing the ...

The long-term effects on solidification/stabilization (s/s) of the secondary wastes, resulting from the oxidative degradation of some solid cellulosic-based wastes, in Portland Cement (CEM I) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (X-RD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. The effect of seven years leaching of the cemented waste forms obtained was carried out to...
