Sludge washing and dissolution of Melton Valley Storage Tank waste

Conference ·
OSTI ID:220562

Focus is on experimental and modeling R&D for comprehensive sludge/supernatant processing flowsheet being done for the Underground Storage Tank Integration Demonstration; emphasis is on Hanford tank waste disposal involving dissolution of the sluge before pretreatment. Combination of tests on actual Melton Valley Storage Tank (MVST) sludge, tests on sludge simulants, and modeling of sludge chemistry provides a broad evaluation of sludge and supernate processing. The information is useful for both MVST and Hanford tank wastes.
