Sodium Oxalate Solubility in Simulated SRP Waste Solutions
Oxalic acid (H2C2O4) has been selected for dissolving the residual sludge in SRP waste tanks after most sludge has been removed by hydraulic slurring. One option for disposing of the spent oxalic acid is to neutralize it with NaOH and to process the resulting sodium oxalate along with waste sludge and supernate through the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWP). About 3 million lbs of sodium oxalate could be generated by tank cleaning, so this material can have a significant effect on DWP operation
