Glycolate concentrations were measured by the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) in Slurry Mix Evaporator Condensate Tank (SMECT) and Recycle Collection Tank (RCT) samples retrieved after implementation of the Nitric-Glycolic Acid flowsheet at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). No glycolate has been detected in any sample using Ion Chromatography (IC) with a detection limit of 8 mg/L, and no glycolate has been detected using either IC or Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1HNMR) after a permanganate strike was performed in the RCT.
