Calculations of volatilities of Hg, NH sub 3 , and Cs-137 in the F/H Effluent Treatment Facility evaporator system
An evaporator will be used in the F/H Effluent Treatment Facility (F/H ETF) to reduce the volume of effluent dispensed to Upper Three Runs Creek and to concentrate solutions from three sources in the F/H ETF before sending that waste to Saltstone. The evaporator will be fed by backwash from the filters in the filtration unit, the concentrate stream from reverse osmosis, and the solutions used in regeneration of ion exchange columns. These streams will contain small amounts of Hg, NH{sub 3}, and Cs-137. Data is readily available concerning the entrainment of these chemicals in evaporator overheads during an evaporation process. No data has yet been generated to predict their behavior due exclusively to their volatility, however. This document describes calculations that have been made concerning the volatility of Hg, NH{sub 3}, and Cs-137 compounds in the F/H ETF evaporator based on expected concentrations, temperatures, and flow rates in that facility.
