Permanganate Oxidation of Actual Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) Slurry Mix Evaporator Condensate Tank (SMECT) and Offgas Condensate Tank (OGCT) Samples to Remediate Glycolate
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
Savannah River Remediation (SRR) tasked Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to examine glycolate destruction in radioactive samples emulating the proposed process. Experiments with radioactive Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) condensates were performed to demonstrate the oxidation of glycolate using sodium permanganate. One test each was performed for Off-Gas Condensate Tank (OGCT) and Slurry Mix Evaporator Condensate Tank (SMECT) samples received. Condensates were blended with Recycle Collection Tank (RCT) heel simulant and Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME) product containing glycolate to represent typical RCT compositions with estimated nominal entrainment of glycolate. A permanganate to glycolate (P/G) molar ratio targeting 5.7 decreased sample glycolate concentration below Ion Chromatography (IC), glycolate method reporting limits in less than 2 hours for the OGCT sample and in less than 8 hours for the SMECT sample.
