Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6567064· OSTI ID:6567064

Calcination flowsheets for radioactive liquid wastes generated at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant are systematically developed using laboratory and pilot-plant equipment and are tested in pilot-plant calciners and the Waste Calcining Facility (WCF) before being routinely utilized in the WCF. Characteristics of the wastes and the flowsheet development effort for each waste, including stability studies, DTA-X-ray and TGA studies, pilot-plant and WCF testing, are discussed.
