Bench scale silver recovery unit for the MEO system
Mediated electrochemical oxidation (MEO) is a process for treating low-level radioactive, organic, mixed wastes. When treating chlorinated organic compounds, MEO generates AgCl which needs to be recovered, converted into AgNO{sub 3}, and sent back to MEO for reuse. A silver recovery process developed in the lab-scale unit has been scaled up to bench scale 30 times bigger; conversion efficiencies are 98% for both. This paper reports the operational experience of the bench scale unit.
