PILOT PLANT FOR DECONTAMINATION OF LABORATORY LIQUID WASTES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4280014
The technology and equipment of a plant for decontamination of radioactive sewage from research institutions using radioactive isotopes are described. The technology is based on the coprecipitation of radioactive isotopes with hydroxide residues, following by ion exchange sorption. Any cbanges in the chemical and radiochemical composition of the sewage are taken in account. When treating sewage containing considerable amounts of organic substances, biological purification in air tanks precedes the conventional decontamination. The contamination is effective enough fur a safe disposal of purified sewage into open water reservoirs. (auth)
