Desilication from DWPF Recycle using Ferric Flocculation

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/803617· OSTI ID:803617
The presence of silicate and glass-forming frit in the recycle waste from the Defense Waste Processing Facility produces wastes that when combined with the traditional aluminate-bearing wastes stored in H-Tank farm can produce insoluble sodium aluminosilicates. Treatment to remove the silicon has been proposed to allow greater flexibility for processing these wastes in the Site's evaporators. The use of a ferric precipitation (flocculation) to remove the silicon has been tested using waste simulants.
