Volume reduction of radioactive ion exchange resins for disposal

Patent Calmon, C

Ion exchange resins contaminated with radioactivate materials are reduced in volume for purposes of disposal by treating the contaminated resins with certain solvents having a dielectric constant of about 45 or lower. Solvents, such as, methanol, ethanol and acetone may be used to reduce the volume of the contaminated resins prior to storage and/or disposal. The method of this invention as applied to disposal of radioactively contaminated ion exchange resins reduces the space required for storage and/or burial of bulk quantities of this type of radioactive waste material, provides a self-sealing medium within the storage containers to prevent small leaksmore »« less
METHOD FOR DISPOSING OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND RESULTANT PRODUCT

Patent Arrance, F

A disposal method for radioactive wastes that permits use of the resultant product for air heating and sterilization is described. Radioactive liquid wastes are absorbed by highly porous and absorptive ceramic materials composed of Georgia kaolin, bentonite, feldspar, talc, and whiting (the % composition depends on the waste composition); subsequent heating and glazing seal the ceramic forms that may be of various shapes for the uses mentioned above.

The water was treated by a scavenging- precipitation with sodium hydroxide, pH 11.7, and ferrous sulfate, copperas-5 ppm Fe, to remove suspended solids and soluble hardness, clarified, and thenmore »« less
Process for preparing sulfur-containing coal or lignite for combustion

Patent Myers, G

An improved process for preparing a coal or lignite fuel that contains sulfur for combustion wherein reduced amounts of sulfur-containing air contaminants are emitted from the combustion. In a process whereby coal or lignite that contains sulfur is pulverized and subsequently mixed with a finely divided inorganic material, the improvement comprises precipitating the inorganic material onto the pulverized coal to achieve greater absorbency of SO/sub 2/ emissions upon combustion of the coal. The inorganic material can be at least one of the oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of sodium, potassium, calcium or barium; or it can be dolomite. (Official Gazette)
Radioactive waste processing apparatus

Patent Nelson, R; Ziegler, A; Serino, D; ...

Apparatus for use in processing radioactive waste materials for shipment and storage in solid form in a container is disclosed. The container includes a top, and an opening in the top which is smaller than the outer circumference of the container. The apparatus includes an enclosure into which the container is placed, solution feed apparatus for adding a solution containing radioactive waste materials into the container through the container opening, and at least one rotatable blade for blending the solution with a fixing agent such as cement or the like as the solution is added into the container.
