Abstract

A method is provided for recovering oily waste from oily waste accumulations underground comprising sweeping the oily waste accumulation with hot water to recover said oily waste, wherein said area treated is isolated from surrounding groundwater hydraulically. The hot water may be reinjected after the hot-water displacement or may be treated to conform to any discharge requirements.

Contained recovery of oily waste

Patent Johnson, L.A. Jr.; Sudduth, B.C.

This paper describes a method for recovering oily waste from oily waste accumulations underground. It comprises: hydraulically isolating an area of oily waste accumulation from ground water by a method selected from the group consisting of providing production wells around the area, providing a ring of injection wells around the area, providing a physical ground water barrier; and sweeping the oily accumulation with hot water to recover the oily waste.
Recovery of cesium and palladium from nuclear reactor fuel processing waste

Patent Campbell, David O. (Oak Ridge, TN)

A method of recovering cesium and palladium values from nuclear reactor fission product waste solution involves contacting the solution with a source of chloride ions and oxidizing palladium ions present in the solution to precipitate cesium and palladium as Cs.sub.2 PdCl.sub.6.

Recovery of transplutonium elements from nuclear reactor waste

Patent Campbell, David O. (Oak Ridge, TN); Buxton, Samuel R. (Wartburg, TN)

A method of separating actinide values from nitric acid waste solutions resulting from reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuels comprises oxalate precipitation of the major portion of actinide and lanthanide values to provide a trivalent fraction suitable for subsequent actinide/lanthanide partition, exchange of actinide and lanthanide values in the supernate onto a suitable cation exchange resin to provide an intermediate-lived raffinate waste stream substantially free of actinides, and elution of the actinide values from the exchange resin. The eluate is then used to dissolve the trivalent oxalate fraction prior to actinide/lanthanide partition or may be combined with the reprocessing waste streammore » and recycled.« less

Method for the recovery of actinide elements from nuclear reactor waste

Patent Horwitz, E. Philip (Elmhurst, IL); Delphin, Walter H. (Woodridge, IL); Mason, George W. (Clarendon Hills, IL)

A process for partitioning and recovering actinide values from acidic waste solutions resulting from reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuels by adding hydroxylammonium nitrate and hydrazine to the waste solution to adjust the valence of the neptunium and plutonium values in the solution to the +4 oxidation state, thus forming a feed solution and contacting the feed solution with an extractant of dihexoxyethyl phosphoric acid in an organic diluent whereby the actinide values, most of the rare earth values and some fission product values are taken up by the extractant. Separation is achieved by contacting the loaded extractant with two aqueousmore »« less

Method for the recovery of silver from waste photographic fixer solutions

Patent Posey, Franz A. (Concord, TN); Palko, Aloysius A. (Oak Ridge, TN)

The method of the present invention is directed to the recovery of silver from spent photographic fixer solutions and for providing an effluent essentially silver-free that is suitable for discharge into commercial sewage systems. The present method involves the steps of introducing the spent photographic fixer solution into an alkaline hypochlorite solution. The oxidizing conditions of the alkaline hypochlorite solution are maintained during the addition of the fixer solution so that the silver ion complexing agents of thiosulfate and sulfite ions are effectively destroyed. Hydrazine monohydrate is then added to the oxidizing solution to form a reducing solution to effectmore »« less
