Extraction Apparatus Used in the Treatment of Irradiated Fuels; LES APPAREILS D'EXTRACTION UTILISES DANS TRAITEMENT DES COMBUSTIBLES IRRADIES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4177424
The two qualities necessary in an extractor in the case of solvent extraction of radioactive materials are that they should occupy little space and require little maintenance. Various types of apparatus designed to this effect are examined. First mixer-decarter tynes with mechanical shaking and with shaking and decantation ultrasonically accelerated, then pulsed columns, and finally hydrocyclones are discussed. The chemical engineering studies peculiar to the running, supply, and control of each of these extractors are described in detail. In certain cases some results obtained on radioactive solutions on a pilot scale are given. (auth)
