Title: Electrodialysis and electrohydrolysis applied to Hanford single tank wastes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10169997

There are many waste salts stored within the DOE complex but the most common is sodium nitrate and it is difficult to immobilize for final disposal. This salt can be split into useful products, particularly nitric acid using either of two electrochemical membrane processes. The process utilizing bipolar electrohydrolysis membrane technology is described briefly, along with how it might fit into a process flow sheet.
